There's an obsession w/ humbling confident Black women. And it is not only from caucasity. And it's so gross.

DO NOT REACT TO EVERY PIECE OF NEWS. It is all trash. It is all a dumpster fire. They are flooding us with cruelty and 404 errors and Executive Orders.
Take a deep breath. It's only day 2.
Get back in your body. Log off even for 5 mins and stare at wall.

"But a real Black Nerd Problem is not knowing if your cosplay will get you killed. Or if phaser equals wallet equals 41 empty shell casings later. Or feeling compelled to write this column in the first place."
