Seriously: Massive supermarket I went into in North Jersey today was almost empty, with miles of aisles of multi-culti foods & fewer than a dozen customers. Cashiers standing idly. Cutting off SNAP is starving grocery stores, too.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has been sounding the alarm with some of the most scathing dissents in history. HER issuing this stay should automatically signal to us all that we just need to trust *HER*, of all people.

At dinner last night and my uncle stated he didn’t understand why anyone would destroy good shrimp by putting them on grits….
And I just need to understand who the hell hurt him, to be SC raised and have this kind of God-awful take.

This is the story of seperation. Of dehumanization
And of love
This is what our country does to love
To people on their finite time on earth it takes the love that binds us
And creates our greatest sorrows
God damn us all

TIL that 2 mg of Valium is nowhere near enough for my anxiety, cause true to form, my goofy ass cut all the way up soon as they pushed me into the wider MRI machine today.
Now I have to get a higher dose from my doctor before I attempt it again in a couple of weeks. I exhaust my mama and myself.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Also, whoever said it last week was on to something with his victory walk-up music should be Jadakiss’ talking during the intro of his Verzuz performance of “New York.”
