We can’t be redeemed until we repent our wrong thinking and any revision is not ours to make, it’s all a matter of re-education

We are addicted to umbrage.

How many times do you have to say “the medicine go down”?

“I will never save a dollar because you know what? You die tomorrow” - go well Big Ang.

The texture is grilled flip-flop. That is all.

Why stop? Utensils or a spoon for everything? Bowl or trough?

Hedonistic and yet ecofriendly, those breeders are a plague upon this planet.

But...

Our genitals are life producing organs, not life sustaining. Socially, we are all, female and male, at some point, ungendered as we are excluded from the chase and our sexual currency lapses. That can be very freeing because we are not only a combination of chemical and physical properties, but social animals and…

The voice of reason and decency.

Got2BeReal has attained the status of definitive documentary for me, I genuinely believe those women are all like that now; Whitney does indeed communicate from the beyond, there is a Coconut between Bey and Rih, Fantasia is a little special needs, The Boss wears a Yaki, Dionne talks like Orson Welles with emphysema…

It is as diverse and irrational and messed up as the rest of the continents with its own partisan nonsenses, casts, clans, bigotries and injustices. Maybe one day we’ll stop infantilising it as some kind of Shangrila.

Never have I snorted more publicly than during that film (why would I read the book? Really.)

No, you’re not wrong, you know you’re not. There’s a long historical tradition of those who fled and found a better way. As you said, every place has it’s thing but there is no thing like US race relations, its history and its continuing social legacy, elsewhere.

I enjoyed reading something so personal here, something true, not a polemic or recycled text-book. Have you ever read Janet McDonald’s lovely book Project Girl? I commend it to you, because her freeing of herself was through her life in Paris, and you’ll know all the other examples of those who found a new (or real?)…

I imagine he may have trimmed his nose hair, so yes.

Well she’s probably never going to achieve 8/10 again in her life so the rest of her existence will be torture.
