I had to look up “Straight-ass lace fronts” but gave myself a pass because I AM 57, and I DO get Shade.

I feel like NeNe should be Shade Court’s Bailiff of Bullshit™.

Kara, I don’t know how to quit you.

a big ol fuck up followed by some decent apologies / basic accountability feels like an honest to God palate cleanser at this point.

I switched my voter registration from Florida to Massachusetts in 2000 (my senior year of college), comvinced that it’s not like my absentee ballot was going to matter much in Broward County.

I know! They struck a very good balance of having that sad part in there, to acknowledge what happened, but also the hilarious giant portrait - because for all of her obsession with etiquette and keeping up appearances, that is a ridiculous thing that Emily 100% would have done.

You seem well balanced and like someone I’d want on my team.

Then the Sword of Damocles has landed, and we can focus our energy on recovering. I don’t know about anyone else, but not knowing what sort of administration we’re going to be fighting afterwards is making me very, very tense and scared. Once we see what monster is lurking in the shadows, we will know whether we need…
