An event that needs to be better known
Viola Ford Fletcher, who as one of the last survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre in Oklahoma spent her later years seeking justice for the deadly attack by a white mob on the thriving Black community where she lived as a child, has died. She was 111.
One of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre’s last survivors, Viola Ford Fletcher, dies age 111

Not dramatic just silly so hoping that counts
Picture it: November 2014. We had just moved into our new house. My parents were invited to thanksgiving somewhere up north but for whatever reason I did not go with them, thus leaving me alone in the house.

Moment of levity: the glasses store had, for some reason, a Rubik's cube on a stand. Of course I picked it up to solve it but turns out it somehow had a twisted corner. I say 'somehow' because there is no force on earth that could have successfully twisted that corner back.
