Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

The only job a black person can have that’s not a so-called [redacted] hire is slave.

I think I woke myself up laughing last night? I dreamt that my mom and I went to a Black country music show where a fight almost broke out in the beginning. She pulls out a bag of candy and starts eating them like Dots. Come to find out, it's my edible bag. I try to stop her but she shuts me up.

Things are looking up. We're catching up on our goals for this year and looking forward to another season studying moose and how they shed full blown papillomavirus tumors with no scarring and no adverse effects on their reproductive systems. Please donate tonight gofund.me/babd9034

Someone once argued that conservatives are bad at art and they were cooking because this is the corniest and saddest thing. Ew.

It's very strange seeing a world leader not being able to form a coherent sentence like girl, spit it out!

If there's one thing that's coming, I've always been told that white people don't play when it comes to a lawsuit. So seeing Sweet Potato get blocked left and right by a judge is making me very happy.

This is strangely why I chuckle whenever someone says "DEI hire" because they won't say the hard ER word. They're afraid of having furniture moved and getting thrown across the room. May that become widespread, honestly.

The types of punishments that the Romans and other Hellenistic rulers had were insane. You see this man here? Yeah they hung him upside down then threw him into pit full of starved boars and cobras.

Is Trump styled as Julius Caesar? Because that's rich considering what happened to the Roman guy...

After a weeklong quest, I finally got my hands on a 2 lb chuck roast and as I pulled the meat apart with two forks, I belted a tune. So no, nothing else matters today.

There is a Mountain Dew commercial where the artist Seal has his face on a computer generated seal's body against the backdrop of a tropical island and I swear, I almost lost my mind. I think part of it did chip off somewhere.

The only person who I think might protect her as a colleague is Jamie Raskin. I am inspired but I am worried.

Speaking of preordering:

1. Preorders are indeed damn important for authors. 2. Also first-week sales. 3. 'Cause those are your book's best chance of hitting the bestseller lists, and nothing succeeds like success. 4. This is a great book, so win win.

Last week I met a man who met Bernadette Peters who told me she is a very lively, nice woman. And now I can sleep better at night: The Bernadette Peters is a nice woman (from Queens!) IRL.

It's not lost on me that the two Democratic electeds talking consistently to regular people right now are AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Dassit.

In brighter news, I found a friend who wants to have a girls' night sleepover with me. It'll be lots of fun: tons of snacks, a lot of gossiping, cackling. And then we will pass out by 10 p.m. because we're in our thirties.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Still living on moose time. Right about now I'd be checking cameras and warming up the car to head out on observations. Looking forward to the field work season this year.
