Happy Heavenly Birthday to May Ayim! She would have turned 65 years old today. Although we are not kin, I feel kinship with her. Next August 2026 will mark 30 years since her passing.
After all these years of studying her, I still do not consider myself an expert on her.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

I still am surprised with white Germans’ racism. I shouldn’t be but I am, even after all these years. Last week das Schauspielhaus Hamburg used Blackface for their production of Othello. In 2025!!!!! Ugh. Do better!!! There countless Black German actors and consultants. Come on now!

Among the provisions are ones agreeing to the Trump administration's definition of sex as "biological sex" and agreeing "not perform hormonal interventions and transgender surgeries ... on any individual under the age of 18 years old, effective immediately."
