We've been on a grilled salad kick, so grilled broccoli, chopped apples/cranberries, pumpkin seeds, red onion, nuts, a cheese (parmesan, feta, whatever you like) and a protein. For dressing I do Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, harissa paste, and honey. Sometimes I add avocado or beans

I regret to inform you that my regular sleeping habits, weekly steak and daily high fiber grilled salad have in fact improved my blood work. Perhaps, just perhaps, you do in fact have to take care of yourself.

No this is the other unhinged auntie. Truthfully we are barely hinged on our best days

Every conversation about the Cornell case is irritating me because there is no way there was just one victim. Just one report. I need people to stop talking like no one had any idea they were rapists. Go crack open those middle school and high school records.

Also this is the thread about the woman who told me about murdering her ex when I was pregnant with kid #1. Again, the women are unlikely to move the way you expect if the danger continues to grow.

Ask your questions, but know my praying auntie robbed banks, beat men, and would fight Mike Tyson. I can only tell you that when my ex got handsy I also fought and during our divorce I threatened to burn down North Texas if he even thought about taking my child. Penny is unhinged and mine are loose.

But you better ask your elders, because every older woman I have ever told this story looks at me and nods. They talk about ipecac in food, cast iron upside heads, and the best way to make a man leave you alone. We have heard these stories since we were kids. Some of the men will wake up dead.

When I asked her why they never got divorced she said "He had two pensions, why would I give up those checks?" Now in her 80s she's very comfortable financially and before that man shuffled off this mortal coil he paid her bills and called her ma'am. Now you may think she's an exception.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

Penny is..wild is the best way to describe her. She's in her 80s and saved now, but I promise you I wouldn't try her. Because over the years that followed she was that man's karma for every crime he might have ever thought about committing. She slung him all over the street more than once.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

Friends, stopping is not on her to-list but eventually they convince her. They did not break up which would have been logical, they stayed together and every time he felt froggy she beat his ass. Except for the times she stabbed him. There was scalding in there too. And a couple of shootings

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

They get there and the screaming is loud. People are trying to get in, and they force the door open finally expecting to find Penny curled up somewhere being abused. They find her with Ray in a headlock, and every time she hits Ray she screams. Tone shifts to "Penny stop you're going to kill him"

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

They get a phone call from a neighbor that's hysterical. There's screaming coming from the apartment and no one can get the door open. The neighbor is convinced Ray is killing Penny. 100% certain she's in danger. So, they rush over there because Lord knows Chicago police might never show up.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

Of course everyone is trying to get Penny to come home and that's when it comes out that she married this 33 year old man at 18. My granddaddy is .38 hot, and someone convinces him to wait her out. Because Ray is violent and Penny is young. The shine will wear off. And it does a month or so later

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

Now, Ray had an ex who he apparently abused. So when Penny took off with him the whole family was worried. And one day the neighbors saw Penny and Ray at their new place. Black Chicago is small now and was even smaller then so people immediately told my grandparents where to find their wayward child

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 28/09/2026

I'll resurrect that link, but I want to talk about my aunt Penny real quick. Because shorter and incredibly instructive. Penny was married to a man named Ray. He was a terrible person tbh and was nearly 15 years older than her when they met. My granddaddy wanted to kill him when he found out.

Oh no, knock all that shit over. Regularly. Get a lawyer if necessary. Meetings with school administrators and the district and maybe the state board of ed if you have to take it there.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 22/09/2026

Yep, it is so so easy to assume that this one choice is defining when in execution the sum of all the choices will be the real answer. I'll be a grandma in a couple of months, and the kid I argued with over 9th grade homework is now a married adult. All of this passes in a blink

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 21/09/2026

She's not bitter though, if you get all the way through it she's also glad not to experience the racism some of her peers at better/whiter schools do.

My kids had a "If the adults fucked up? Call mom. If we fucked up, call dad" rule for themselves. My parenting was far from perfect. It was effective and we have good relationships. But chances are excellent we will all be getting C's and D's in some categories on our parenting report cards

I was a terrorist. Like, pretty sure there are still people calling me that bitch about meetings from 15 years ago. Because fundamentally no part of public education is working to provide great outcomes without pressure. Oldest has a degree, a job, and a family. Youngest is still in college.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 21/09/2026

My kids were at an award winning public school in a mixed race, mixed income area. And it still got quiet on the creek when I had to come in that building about a problem. Because nobody wanted to be next on my to do list. I called central office, a lawyer, and the state board. My kids are great

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 21/09/2026

If you knew me when the kids were little you remember me taking it to hell in IEP meetings every year. Kiddo was at a top ranked diverse school and Husbeast and I still had to play good cop/bad cop at every meeting. People overestimate their parenting acumen and underestimate damaging systems

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 21/09/2026

So I said I was tired of the discourse about NHJ and I am. But I am also astonished at the number of people who are certain their choice is better. Because the parenting report card isn't in yet and baby, some of your kids will be asking why you made them go to a racist school based on test scores

Threads is all over that NHJ article and I am over it. So what have I missed Bluesky?

Add harissa paste to your Caesar dressing and maybe a little honey. Works a treat.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

This is where I am now. We make 2 or 3 a week, the only time we deviate is for tacos.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 17/09/2026

These grilled salads have taken over my house. Today it was broccoli, chicken, bacon, sun dried tomatoes, red onion, parmesan, and Honeycrisp apples in a spicy Caesar dressing. I regret nothing.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

thehandbasket.co

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

Friend, I winged the dressing. White miso, honey, red wine vinegar, black pepper and the fat from the bacon instead of another oil. I didn't add garlic because I seasoned the Brussels sprouts with garlic and didn't want to overdo it

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.blacksky.app · 16/09/2026

Today's grilled salad is Brussels sprouts, bacon, red onion, cranberries, and pumpkin seeds in a miso honey vinaigrette. Will make it again, but probably add apple and maybe feta.
