i have a friend who will never admit but i know.
i think we all know “that one friend/family member who didn’t vote or voted wrong”.
suddenly,
they are loud about all that is happening in the country right now.
i mean,
appalled!
…but we know.

so the alleged reason why “the indian lady with the cackle” wasn’t elected for president.
not a shocker but…

i’m gonna font a controversial hot take.
so over the weekend,
john davidson,
a guest with tourette’s who inspired “i swear,”
shouted the N-word during a BAFTAs segment featuring michael b. jordan and delroy lindo.

and 110%…

i appreciate gen z on rih’s social media for their super sleuthing.
when i was a young millennial in my 20s,
i thought i knew everything because:

i was the master of the universe.

as i grew up,
i learned very quickly how i was loud and wrong about many things.
people i admired and went to bat for disappointed me as time went on.
so when i see all this discourse about jay z and harvey weinstein,
if i was a 20-something gen z,
i would probably believe what i saw and take it as truth.
realistically…

there is always that one male identified female cousin/aunt/ya mother,
who will defend or deflect that her brother,
uncle,
or whatever triflin’ male was SA’n various family members.
they will tell the abused:

“go sit on your uncle’s lap.”
“what did you do to deserve it?”
“you was probably being fast.”

…all while waving a bible and telling them they need to learn to forgive or ignore.
“something something… has their faults but they got good in there“.

i’m not fonting and alleging that this is church she-jackal,
kim burrell,
but it seems like like she has a “forgive the demons/pick-me” spirit.
that is very interesting coming from her tbh.
she sat up at that mariah trribute,
wanting us to forgiver her “brothers”,
diddy and r.kelly…

in that pic,
he looks like how i feel.
pfft.

once upon a time,
i was an idiot who wanted to see the good in people after they said “sorry”.
those were fun times of learning that:

anyone can say they’re sorry when they’re sorry about their current circumstances.

it doesn’t mean they’re genuinely sorry.
we have programmed by our parentals that one word asking for forgiveness holds weight.
we were told to take an apology only to learn it meant shit in the long run,
especially when it came from siblings.

there are legit murderer that said they were sorry during sentencing,
all in hopes of getting off or a lighter sentence.

how many times has our toxic exes said they were “sorry”?
friends who hurt us and see we are doing better coming back with apologies?
“the one that let you get away” suddenly realizes you were the right one for them?

so when i saw kanye put out a full page spread in the “wall street journal“,
apologizing to the jewish and black communities for his past harmful behavior…

God,
what a way to shred your iconic character.
this entire press tour for that movie is when i said:

serena,
have you gone mad?
this movie is about DV and you’re grifting hair products.
not only that,
she had drinks including one named after the DV character.
that location share shit was what sealed the deal for me too.
it sounded so unserious.

so if some shit was to go down about my last living situation,
and i had to give up my phone,
the police would see:

that shit was a hot topic in my text messages with various people.

not only that,
i had documents saved and conversations recorded.
last night,
i went down the deep dive of blake lively/justin baldoni drama.
won’t even hold you but i read a majority of the texts,
watched videos of people covering the case,
and everything is a big yikes but i do have a question…
