people at the grocery store sometimes do a visible double-take about how many vegetables I’m buying. they look at me probably thinking wow she’s so healthy! it’s ok that she’s also buying donuts! she’s earned them!
you fools. all the produce is for my pet pig. I’m eating donuts for dinner.
an older woman actually stopped me once and told me I must be a great cook because I was just throwing random vegetables in my cart based on price. she was like “gosh! I would need a recipe to know what to do with all of those!”
thinking over and over and over of that clip from a maya angelou talk about the importance of knowing one another’s history. no matter how brutal no matter how bleak no matter how despairing no matter anything because the only way through it is to go all the way through it. and the only way to build anything with one another is by having gone all the way through it because otherwise there is no connection. whats a connection worth that’s built on ignorance? sustained by ignorance? “only equals can make friends” she says. only equals.
Did you know- Jerry Lawson, also known as “father of the videogame cartridge” is responsible for designing the Fairchild Channel F video game console as well as leading the team that pioneered the commercial video game cartridge. He was literally a game changer✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
i think we as a society have to become comfortable again with the idea that even the best of us are sometimes just petty little bitches who don’t like certain things for completely arbitrary and/or personal reasons
