I’d like to ask an HBCU question to which I’ve sought the answer but haven’t gotten anywhere. I’m going to admit 1) I’m white & 2) It is not at all anyone’s responsibility to answer this for me and I am okay with being ignored/called out for the content of the question.

Off topic: excellent user name.

This is some seriously solid advice!!

I’ve sent this to my LV family. I just want to say I’m sending love & light to your family right now. I know it’s not much and it’s a strange thing to say to someone you don’t know; I’m a mom & I just can’t imagine. Please know you have strangers who are trying to lift your family up.

JFC.

To the opening letter writer: please get some therapy. I promise a good therapist that you click with WILL help with your approach anxiety AND all the other stuff too!! 💜

Apropos of nothing (except maybe because I’m desperately trying to cling to some kind of happiness in this bleak hellscape), Rep. Wilson’s personal fashion style is amazing & iconic.

I would like to give it up for this DA who kept on prosecuting. Many times after one mistrial, prosecutors decline to refile charges as it’s cost prohibitive & their budgets are shrinking. So kudos to this one for not letting this asshat get away without a verdict.
