Perimenopause – Flash & Burn Indeed

Pretty interesting article on perimenopause from Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/of-interest/2024/11/12/perimenopause-moment/ It is absolutely a horrible time. The whole entirety of a woman’s life is GRUELING, the only time we have free of our biology is childhood pre-periods. After menstruation begins it’s a wrap.

How I’m feeling about American Politics Right Now

One weirdo is on then ANOTHER ONE rides the bus. Except we’re in a situation trying to see which of these weirdos is going to DRIVE the bus. Either way the United States is cooked for the next 4 years. There has got to be a better way.

Buffy St. Marie is a Fraud and it Broke My Heart

So if you haven’t heard the news by now, The Fifth Estate revealed that Buffy St. Marie has lied about her heritage all these many years since the 1960s. Not only was she not adopted, she’s not even native. It’s a hard watch if you’re a fan like I am, but it’s worth watching to […]

Tina Turner: Rest in Peace

Ironically I saw the news on youtube while watching an old video of Proud Mary! I was watching the clip of Beyonce dancing as a little girl that then showed how she used the same moves in her epic Super Bowl performance with Brun Mars. Something about it reminded me of Tina Turner, who I […]

I was watching Morning Joe this morning when they started discussing Ukraine President Zelensky’s remarks/appeal to Russian mothers: “I want to say this once again to Russian mothers, especially mothers of conscripts. Do not send your children to war in a foreign country,” Zelensky said in a video address released on Telegram. “Check where your […]

Orwell, Atwood, Butler fake quotes

When Authors are Prescient

LOL I had to do it! Butler’s book, one the best books I have ever read, was published in 1998. Very prescient: “The novel is set against the backdrop of a dystopian United States that has come under the grip of a Christian fundamentalist denomination called “Christian America” led by President Andrew Steele Jarret. Seeking […]

Kirk Franklin Should be Ashamed

So this man, a minister, a man of god no less, cursed one of his sons out as if he were a dog in the street. And is getting much support and co-signing from many in the black community. Nah. As a parent, this is a big NOPE. I feel as a parent it’s best […]

Some Thoughts on ‘Coming to America 2’ Spoilers

Some thoughts on ‘Coming to America 2’ Spoilers/Don’t read if you haven’t seen it! Ok so I could have done without the ‘using people as sex slaves’ bit. That was trashy and disturbing in the first movie, even more so now. In 2021 in every culture around the world everyone knows this is NOT ok, […]
