I went to the cutest Yemeni coffee shop this morning to kill time as my daughter goes to a bday party. Side note, white folks, we gotta talk—what’s with the early morning Saturday events? Anyway, look how cute!

Za has been casted in her 6th and 7th shows this fall. A pretty small role in Annie, but got Jovie in Elf! I’m so excited for her and that solo! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’ve seen this section of this interview a number of times today and the more I see it the more I wanna punch my phone hoping this interviewer feels it. I keep saying we literally watching the depths of racism and its destruction actively, and we talking about the overreach of woke 1. I’m pissed.

I don’t think people understand the depths of the incel insurgency and how it is decimating even middle aged men. I wish I was more brave to share more. But the men are not ok. I genuinely cannot believe the experiences I’m having all because I dare to be a sovereign well-adjusted woman.

Ever since I heard this song, every time I need to get my energy to be more chill, I listen to it. Genuinely one of my favorite finds and experiences on the internet.

I am loving every clip I come across of Dolly. The one joy in this moment is experiencing some of her wonder for the first time. What a genuinely phenomenal woman! I love a fully embodied and unpunishable woman. I aspire.

I’m not gonna lie, one of the most accurate superstitions I’ve noticed is that death comes in 3s. I’ve noticed this for a while now. Hayden, Dolly and now Tim.

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

Dolly Parton was an icon. She was a brilliant songwriter and performer. She was an incredible activist and advocate, helping to donate over 200 million free books to children. She was one of my personal heroes. This is a terrible loss. She will be greatly missed.

The older I get the more I appreciate spaces to lean into speaking patois! I miss the freeness and the ease that my thoughts come to me. I had a reunion with one of my closest Jamaican friends and it was so good for that reason.

I’d feel extremely safe on this flight because I already know they had to work twice as hard, be twice as good and make half as many mistakes just to get into those seats. Black women make up less than 1% of professional pilots. Yeah, I’d sleep good on this flight. ✈️

And FTR I know he mentions current ideologies but to bucket them as the same thing feels so deeply hurtful. To argue that the left’s woke agenda now is Palestine as we watch a president make AI videos of him and Netanyahu on the beaches of Gaza sipping drinks. Idk. It’s just…wow.

This article feels particularly insane to me because it feels like it could be written about what’s happening right now with Trump and the MAGA movement except it’s about “woke” www.slowboring.com/p/woke-1-is-...

Woke 1 is dead. We’ve learned nothing.
Blatant indifference to facts is all too common across ideologies

In an effort to make the most of summer and not just let work be my life, I made a goal to get outside 3 weeknights a week, instead of just staying home even if I have to do it alone. Last night I went to a night market in a side of town I haven’t been to in ages and got Korean food for dinner ☺️

Some things are deeply and simply inhumane—no matter how much flowery language used. I am deeply exhausted by the inhumane expectations of productivity. My core beliefs of humanity and our humane limits are always in conflict with the realities around me and it makes me grieve constantly now.

I’ve been grappling with the reality that many people love the theory of change more than they love the difficult, unglamorous work of making change real. Transformation sounds inspiring in principle. In practice, it asks us to sacrifice comfort, certainty, status, and control.

I hate to say it, but this Platner debacle proves what I know to be true, but folks hate to admit. In politics, if someone can win, folks are willing to look past a lot and are hypocritical about that. In life, folks have a lot of grace for a lot if they like you or think you're worthy of it.

I have always hated gambling. I have barely ever even played the lotto. The odds just never appealed to me. There's nothing about a small chance of winning that excites me + I've always been cynical that it's rigged—purposefully built to work against you. Prediction markets are my vindication.

When I tell you Za has a genius level ear for music? She amazes me everyday. Good Life by Kanye and T Pain came on the radio and she goes, “Oh this song samples PYT by MJ.” Then pulls up the song and thing that repeats. Never realized.

Communal singing and chants does something to my soul. The feelings I feel when I hear Mdali. Feels ancestral, and very similar to what I feel when I hear the Haka.

Za: “I just realized something. If you murder a murderer, the murderer count doesn’t go down.” We were talking about intruders so this is how this came up. But also it felt like sound analysis of the death penalty! 😭

We’ve spent decades told that if the economy grows, people’s lives will get better. Millions are working harder, paying more, and losing faith that institutions can deliver. Imagine an economy and democracy that actually make life better. That’s why today, we’re launching The #GoodLife Agenda. 🧵

The Good Life Agenda shows what our economy and democracy could look like if all of us had access to the building blocks of economic security and prosperity, and how we can get there.

The thing bringing me joy lately are those videos where they take comments roasting people's terrible looking meals and turn them into R&B songs.
