I've recently learned that my brother just wanders the world rawdogging his cell phone. No case. No screen protector. Just out there in his pocket. Living life on the edge. I'm sure this is indicative of some kind of personality disorder.

Having a child later in life means, by the time you hit perimenopause, you've got yourself a very dedicated and overzealous plucker of your chin hairs. The sheer giddiness of this child when emboldened with tweezers is just disrespectful. 🤣💀🫣😬🤣

1 in 5 Memphis households experienced at least one utility cutoff last year. Read that again. MLGW, Memphis' utility provider, disconnected over 75,000 households in 2025-- and this number is on the rise. Read part 1 of my utility cutoffs series here: mlk50.com/2026/08/12/1...

Air should be weightless, invisible, life-giving — but in the Southwest Memphis community of Boxtown, air carries the weight of pollution and a history of resistance.

For a year, @mlk50.com collected data on a little-known aspect of TN law, known as “the felony murder rule.” Our work reveals, for the first time, how prosecutors use the rule against kids. While the law itself does not mention race, prosecutors almost exclusively use it to prosecute Black kids.

We've had electricians at our house at least 6 times since February. The builders used an electrician who built in a ridiculous number of redundancies, causing nuisance tripping throughout the kitchen. I now know the guys at Quality Electric by name. They're great. But I hope not to see them again.

Penny got spayed this morning. They called to let me know she's up and doing well. But they will be sending her home with trazodone because she's so damn wild, and they have zero faith in her being chill until she heals.
