When my parents were alive, we all went to a multi-family pot luck Thanksgiving. Over the years, people have moved away, seperated, died. My mom died in August, so for the first time I am going by myself. I’m bringing my mom’s usual dish, a corn pudding. I am so grateful to be surrounded by close friends for tomorrow.

At this point, I seriously don’t care about hypothetical unrest. Gore didn’t fight for the 2000 election because he wanted to be nice, and we got Bush. Not sure any “unrest” would be worse than the death toll from the Iraq War. I feel even stronger about it this time around since Turmp is fucking vile.

I want to tell you all something amazing that happened. I live in a small area (less than 500,000) And with two days preps, the local mosque,and an interfaith social justice group put together a solidarity meeting. 450 people showed up. Immigrant Muslims got a standing ovation. Everyone there pledged to protect…

Today I made a pumpkin pie and a cranberry upside down cake to take to the in laws tomorrow. Friday we’all be roasting a turkey at home with the usual suspects in order to have hella leftovers. And to feed the baby decent food. My husband’s family isn’t very interested in cooking (which kills me because I am and make…

At least we know if HRC is elected at the last minute, she is currently more prepared to be president sitting at home on her sofa than Trump is a full 14 days into transition.

I’ve been avoiding these stories, because they’re too hopeful and 2016 has taught me that hope is lost.

Tell me about it. Let’s not overlook how the fact that Sen. Peterson is a Black woman impacts this situation. As a Black woman, my ‘tone’ is constantly policed, I’m asumed to be angry or aggressive. I can be right as rain, whispering a question while smizing and still get a comment about my attitude. So ol’ boy can…

He tells The Advocate that he would have preferred being “politely” informed that the cakes were “disrespectful” rather than being cursed at by Peterson.

It’s given us what may be peak Biden Meme.

I really needed a movie that highlighted this fact to be a comedy that also starred Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain.

So the most important thing about this movie is that Hollywood is coming clean that Amy Adams and Isla Fisher are the same person?

Did the GOP officially become the American Nazi party? Now that Republicans like Paul Ryan are “totally on board” with this guy and his picks for top positions didn’t end with Bannon, they’re all this Nazi-ish, it’s official now, right? We’re going to be living the next 4 years under a Nazi party, right? I can’t say…

By the time Trump finishes filling positions, I’m pretty sure his team will have covered every bad thing Clinton has ever been accused of.

He is draining the swamp...so he can dredge the bottom in his search for advisors and cabinet members.

I really wish that Oprah had never brought Dr.’s Phil & Oz out of the grays.

I just booked my ticket to Washington for the Women’s March! I am beyond excited!
