@StevenLJohnson So sorry for your loss. When my father died, a chaplain described grief as a pot set to simmer that occasionally boils over. It’s been years and I still have boiling moments but now I notice the water more than the heat (when the water is connection and heat is absence).

This is why I’m writing a Black spectrum guide to the cookout. I love this new generation; it’s a different world.

I have an uncle that is autistic, and it's wild how all the old people in my family interpret his behavior as super irritating, and the younger 2 generations are just like "yeah, he's just being autistic. It's fine. Leave him alone".

Yesterday, I was honored to sit down with @kynewsmakers at @WKYT to discuss the Attorney General race, my legal experience, and why I think I am the best choice for Kentucky. It will show in full on Sunday at 11:30 AM. I hope you watch!

I really hope someone writes about the Etsy sellers-Black women whose experimentation with texturizing doll hair led to this series of more inclusive dolls.

[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

In 2016 Barbie finally introduced new body types that were more inclusive and has also introduced dolls in more skin tones and hair styles. Barbie has had 35 skin types, 97 hairstyles and 9 body types. /13

Imagine thinking you can buy a woman with $100 and some wine... 😒

I think both might be confessions of being bullied for things they couldn’t control.

I feel guilty for liking a musical about the historical figures who inspired the man recently praised by a masked provocateur. Holocaust is not a proper noun and I’m writing this around the corner from the Jefferson mall.

@FannieBWells1 Wow. Thank you so much for reading.

[Asha French @AFrenchWriter]

I really hate when people look like the things they say. It makes me feel so shallow.

@brxdford Oop!
