Thank you! You are so sweet and I really appreciate your words. Your last line is a very high compliment to me, and I’m honored. She was obviously a wonderful woman who loved you very much.

Right on siesta! You didn’t need to be white to feel that power. Shoot I was adopted by a middle age white woman who insisted I read Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker.

How many of these people complaining about Beyoncé taking people to task are super into Fleetwood Mac? Their most famous album is pretty all of them telling each other to go fuck themselves.

Congratulations on your white approval...

(I’m feeling like I had a lot of feelings about this and I’m trying to get them organized in the right way, so this might not make a whole lot of sense. And as a white lady, I might misstep, please don’t yell at me, I’m trying.)(I’m super grey anyway, so most of y’all probably won’t even see this!)

Stuff I don’t want to hear anymore:

I will never get over the sheer fact that this happened.

Wow, seriously?

Not just their children, but anyone who is immunodeficient or unlucky enough to be from a place without standardized vaccination programs.

Condemning their children, along with anyone else who is allergic to vaccines or has a condition that suppresses their immune system so they can’t receive them and are especially susceptible to disease.

My body wants queso and chips and queso and fries and nacos (not a typo) and brie and other things incubating baby prolly shouldn’t eat...like sushi and steak tartare.

honestly, except for the weird wording, that was a good response.....I don’t know what to do right now....

I’m due in July. I can’t wait for the warmer months, when I can wear linen pants, flowy skirts, t-shirt and tank tops and shy away from jeans and pants.
