Don’t make me do the emotional labor of explaining what I mean if you’re not going to Venmo me for it!

Oh, you didn't invite me to your family's beach house this summer? I can't believe you would uphold systems of white supremacy.

You're right, I'm sorry. I will cancel myself and retreat into a wellness spa where I will binge read Roxanne Gay. I will be better.

I agree (broadly speaking) that a little bit more marketing savvy would help with things like this.

Yeah “Defund the Police” was a bad slogan.

Agree. I'm all about causing people to pause and rethink the framework by which institutions exist, but this is not the way.

"Abolish the police!"

Well, I mean, unless I need them. But that's different.

Aloha🌺That Guy, i always get a kick out of your content, not only from you, but reading all the comments, too. Even tho stuff is serious you have the knack to lighten it up a bit w/humor. And you seem to inspire others to mirror your humor which i get a kick out of your commenters, too. And then you give us links to serious stuff.

Thank you for the kind words! I aim to please. And I love shooting the shit with anyone who comments. Honestly, it's most of the fun out of writing what I write.
