🎶Still there's many who've turned off their porch lights
Just so I would think they're not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
'Til I'd passed and left them alone🎶
One of my absolute favorite Phil Collins songs! I love this video 'Gump'ing himself throughout old movies too! (Even tho it has racist, chinless Clapton on it!)

Ani DiFranco's version has, of course, the stanza that hits hardest...

🎶Both my parents taught me about goodwill
And I have done well by their names
Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain

Revisited tonight...

All these years later, the different lyrics of the same song by two artists still represent my spirit best.

We can love on our kids and still mean business about certain important things! Even favorite Aunties can raise an eyebrow and strike fear cuz they've undoubtedly heard whispers and rumors...

Indentured servitude of poor, uneducated and unskilled whites WAS part of the enslavement of Africans which is what MAGA is really about so...
They forgot the poor white plantation overseers and subsistence farmers were exploited, near starved, had little freedom and couldn't leave either! 🤷🏾‍♀️

I know RIGHT?! That's one of only a few of his songs I actually like!

Well, I didn't know YOU were the weirdo! In the Before times, I would have advised to just be super nice, friendly and talkative while never addressing why you were quiet before. Kill 'em with kindness.
But not now, not THESE days! Hell, I'd slide out around 10:30 without saying anything!

I used FlashFood for great food bargains in '24 when Kroger was onboard. Without warning they went offline and just came back with only Meijer and small convenience stores. I've moved, 2 stores aren't nearby anymore & I don't need the app cuz I peruse Meijer for clearance stuff anyway...🤷🏾‍♀️

So, all of Michigan, eh? Not even just the U.P. and Detroit-Windsor crossing but all the rural farming and cabin communities where the many, many militia groups meet and practice with their big, high-powered weapons too?! Hmmm.

I'm embarrassed a country song was gon' be my anthem! So good I made a note of the title for later. Remembered, found and played it on YT as I cooked. Bopping, getting hyped, wanna make sure this soulful, kickass country white man wasn't KKK. Looked at video closely...Googled...
A muthafukkin I 🤬👿

Does that also keep deodorant marks (chalky white) from setting in? I very, very rarely dry clean anything. I'm a hand-washer or delicate cycle and lay flat cheapo (lined suits, wool coats, silk too)!

Sho' do! Browning the meats, deglazing the pan for the fond and using chicken grease to sauté the trinity veggies too. Finish cooking, let cool, then reheat for that Next Day Deliciousness!

I made gumbo yesterday.

Just Seasons 1 thru...not the last, to reminisce on when it was so good (and see all the little relationships and prescient words you missed). Drink adult beverages in a pretty glass with sophisticated appetizers while doing so, like you're sitting with Cersei or Lady Olenna Tyrell!

Ooo, I want in! Can I advise you?!

Find the weirdo loner, ask if they'll be your reference. Steal letterhead & envelope so you can write your own. List of the secrets you know about everyone to literally 'read' each one, if you're gonna curse! Bring in donuts you've farted on! Help me, what else?!

Hmmm...compelling and persuasive. But I'll have to leave the monitoring to others because I just hate, despise, loathe everything about the way he speaks too much to review for myself!

Take a moment & figure out best way forward. Can you still drop or withdraw from that class for full refund? Take that class at another campus or school? Transfer schools completely? Change program to something generalized?
Too many haven't finished for 'getting pissed' & 'taking a break' - Finish!

Don't forget fun videogame simulators like blowing small boats out of the water with jets! But most of all, getting to take a picture doing every single thing that Obama did that put his racist, Little Dick Energy into overdrive!

Even as coworkers white women suck! They're nosy and won't stop just angling for info on you, they're clique-ish & will conspire even with white women they hate against any Black woman (or POC) and they do vile shit then cry when confronted.

Defense?
Publicly document DAILY!

They'll be terrified!

There's always someone playing Devil' Advocate when they should just say,"I like what they're doing and proudly cosign their actions!" and be done.

Wicked subliterate scum with domination fetishes can't be reformed.
