eh. It’s almost 1am in the middle of the 50th year of my life, my charge has kept me up the brunt of the last 96 hours, and that’s what I look like, raw. Frankly? I know that’d be fn impressive at 35, let alone fiddy lol. I’m good. It’s all good.

Fuck it- it’s fucking glorious, got dammit.

😜 grace of God.

I’ll share one:

If I’d known better when I got clotheslined by Ray Bradbury’s The Veldt at age ten, I would’ve leaned into being an author, sooner. He said he’d carried those lions with him since the age of ten when I finally looked into it. I even wrote a book in fifth grade. About some crazed princess. Vaguely recall it. But clear as day I see the drawing of her being victorious at the end of it. It was standard “draw princess” style. I think that is where all that( and the standard puppy stuff) stopped.

What are your top three "If I'd known better, I'd have known~" things in your life?

Coming to a 50 year old Black American Woman's "zine"...and getting enraged over...her showing the truth... about the experiences of her ancestors in a way that doesn't discount their glory for the weak-minded offspring of those who had to cheat in the game they forced upon them in the first place... it literally is the epitome of why that 50 year old Black woman calls you a motherfucking idiot when you press her. In other words?

Get Off my lawn, dumbass! This isn't a leased cubicle pointed at the stage of your jerry-rigged coliseum. Fuck outta my yard!

You're not just mad to find out the truth. You're incensed a lot more of us KNOW the truths your kin tried to bury about us for generations. You try to gatekeep the actual truth of history and then scald the world with your self-hatred over having to live the lie you cast everybody into.
