I’m sorry. I haven’t really had time for substantive comments lately, but I do have this:

There’s a independent pharmacy called Nation’s Care at 3818 12th St NE.  They close at 6, so I can’t roll with them as much as I’d like, but the brother in there has been very cool when I could get there before closing.

Heheh. Heh. HAHAHAH. that took me a second but I heartily approve that comment. 

Dang. And Bowser just closed DC General, too. She could set up a tent; nope, Bowser’s administration and the Park Police have both been tearing down tent cities for years. She could apply for Rapid Housing; nope, that’s stretched way passed capacity. So, yeah. DC is a tough place to be poor and be afforded dignity.…

You don’t hang out with any Black people in real life, huh?

that is one of my most favoritest of gifs.  I can watch it on loop for about 10 min straight, giggling like a fool.

I don’t know... up the road a way at Benning and East Capitol there’s curry-outs, a chicken wing spot and the Shrimp Boat with a NOI brother out there slanging bean pies and Final Calls. That’s pretty dern Black.

Mobile, Alabama is lit in ways that folks who have never been there can’t imagine.

Here’s the thing, though. I go all the way out to Brandywine from near Deanwood to go to the doctor because, hell, 30 to 45 minutes of driving is also what it takes to get across the river and into the rest of the city.  Now that Providence is closing, I would rather drive to Brandywine, enjoy driving 50mph and know…

This is a horrrrrrible new entry in the ‘my black is beautiful’ campaign.

There are no good cops.

What’s really fun is that the way you timed the first gif, it runs on the beat “1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and” with the punches on “4 and”.

Countdown to someone comparing this New Yorker to someone from the South...

Every time I roll back through the Carolinas we hit 1: RC, 2: boiled peanuts, 3: muscadines, 4: Blenheim’s Ginger Ale. Those things alone are worth getting off the exits on 95.

We had such hopes for you. Now it’s clear you have no taste.

We still here. Some of us are randomly grey (ahem), but we here.

Not a fan of the berry flavor, but the mango and the grapefruit flavors are great.  Polar has a mint mojito flavor that will start fights at our house.

Do you know why I’m back in the grays? I’ve been commenting on your page, on VSB and here on the Root for years.

Metropolitan Police Department is only one of several LEAs in the area; DC is the most overpoliced city in the country.  This is a police department that had to be told by the federal courts that it couldn’t set up military style checkpoints in Black neighborhoods.
