At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I need three more books to meet my hearly reading goal. Any good suggestions? And if they’re, non-fiction —they’re by definition not good suggestions!

If you think about it, Bravo’s reality programming is basically a look at a modern regency era. They call on each other, they fight for status and definitely marry for it, they’re always going to parties, they don’t seem to work, there’s a lot of enemies, and not enough lovers… it’s all there.

If you're baffled by the people on the Right, you know the ones, right?
The ones who vote for Trump and say it's because of eggs, not people's audacity to be something other than white or Christian and demand equal justice under the law. (1/9)

#CarleyFortune writes flash back stories that make me anxious, but in a good way? Somehow? Mostly? This is my 3rd, #ThisSummerWillBeDifferent, and it has one of my favorite tropes—our heroine falls for her best friend’s brother. Only 13% in, but I’m digging it. #booksky #booktok #romancereader
