Navigating life in my 40s. Music geek, introverted, opinionated, activist, feminist, happily taken.
It's time for a new direction
It's time for jazz to die

We need a purple high

I don't know why this came to me in the mail, considering:

1. I don't shop at Target a lot or hardly ever

2. I don't have children

3. I'm in my 40s and don't buy toys

Emmett Till was murdered
The reason: Whistling at a white woman. Later proven to be a lie.

Emmett Till didn't deserve to die and Mamie Till deserved to see justice for her sons murder.

What is the big deal anyway? The food sucks.

So much has changed since the day this was taken 15 years ago

My uncle joined Grandma, Grandad, Uncle Bruce and Dad yesterday. He was the last of my dad's siblings.

Been in a mood all day and feel that I have to make major changes in my life. Particularly in my homelife.

Right after the 4th, the Back To School sales start and most of, if not all of the summer merchandise is going on clearance or taken off the shelves.

Where my ancestors were on July 4th, 1776. We were not free until almost 100 years later. Even after that, we are not free. Fuck independence day

Today is just another day. No celebrations since we essentially lost freedom this week.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water....

June 20th, 1975. JAWS opened in theaters and made some swear off swimming in the ocean for a few years. #jaws #sharkattack #filmclassics

No gay man in their right mind would be caught dead fucking him. For all we know, he has a secret gay lover like most people who are against the LGBTQIA community.

Fun fact: I saw the "Like A Prayer" video when it came out on MTV. I really wasn't supposed to be watching MTV at the time, being that I was 4 years old and was supposed to be watching either Sesame Street or Fraggle Rock.

1967: Richard and Mildred Loving

2025: Me and Patrick

Before, it was illegal to marry or even date outside of your own race. That is, until Richard and Mildred Loving challenged it. And won.

I do feel that the powers that be may strike it down.

Someone said that this is what dark-skinned men taste like. To who? Jeffrey Dahmer?

All jokes aside, as a dark-skinned man, I can say that this is true.
