I do a fair amount of national level service - I am almost always the only Black person on the call (w/the obvious exception of work w/affinity groups). Even all these years in - it remains and remains notable.

My kids have one more day of break before they head back to school, and the little one got up, got her breakfast (nutella on toast) and cranked on the tablet at volume 10 - she's living her best life and we're in the home office

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

I love having the holiday just with our little family - we just decided the menu, we lounge around during Christmas day - it's very low stress and I'm grateful for that.
