I love this so much!

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.

Telemarketer left me a voicemail of them chewing for a minute and a half (otherwise silent) and now I’m hungry and wondering if they’re selling food. Effective marketing strategy. #capitalism #hungry #taurus

The road ahead will not be easy, but keep the faith.
