@StillIRise1963 Whew! THAT was all that I wanted and more! No more playing small. No more fear. No more handing over my power to clowns. 😁

Who’s doing the Olympics? Is it a thing on Mastodon?

@blogdiva ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!!! Found a new Olympics buddy! Congratulations! The personal ties must be amazing!!

This presidential “debate” is neither. I’m out. It’s simply unwatchable. That the orange one is eligible to run for office and people are actually considering for a second term is a tragic indictment of this country.

America. You in danger, girl.

Okay, I’m really down with Ken Jennings! He’s on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and he’s donating his winning to … wait for it … Equal Justice Initiative!! Winning with Jennings!

For those who are unsure, the period of American history known as Jim Crow was NOT a heyday or time of prosperity for Black Americans.

Anyone telling you anything to the contrary is being paid to bamboozle you via preposterous lies.

Full stop.

@BigAngBlack I love some Wayne Brady. From Orlando. He’s crazy talented!
