The way I live my life if I HAVE a doorbell came something has gone terribly wrong and future me is coming to rescue alternate reality me and probably had to use an abacus to figure out where I was, when. Full confidence in my ability to talk my way in.
Your doorbell camera just rang. You check the live view on your phone. YOU are on the other side of your door. Do you answer it?

I don’t care how much you hate Trump or how hard you voted for Kamala . If you aren’t examining your anti Blackness and anti immigrant and anti queer behavior ?
You aren’t doing what you need to
A lot of people have ridden this trauma into money and platforms with no reflection

Well, that's the last day that person's in my life coz fuck no.
Here's a question for y'all & the skeets, Nai:
Your crush/partner/fiancé/wife or husband knows what food you hate. Still, they surprise you for your birthday with that exact food, made in a dish of family favorite.
Do you eat it? Or what's your reaction?

In 1983, 60 Minutes ran a story about a recently uncovered event that happened decades prior.
In 1982, a reporter named Gary Moore went around asking questions to Black Floridians.
