Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! I thought I would share on here an article I wrote and posted on LinkedIn for #BHM in 2018 that was inspired by a tweet by one of my favorite Twitter mutuals Tiffany Graves.

I want to remind folks of something that’s still raw for me. After the 2024 loss, most Dems in Congress went quiet. You remember the silence. It was deafening.

Jasmine Crockett did the opposite. She stepped up early, got loud, and was never afraid to take on Trump.

I agree. I re-read “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” one of my favorite books from childhood, last year for the 1st time. I empathized with the struggles of the adults/parents much more than I had as a little girl, when I only thought about the child protagonist.

if you want to actually like any of the protagonists Wuthering Heights is not the book for you

if you are just here for Mess it is an incredible time
I just read Wuthering Heights for the first time + this sums up all my texts to my buddies about it
