One of the 2024 Booker Prize finalists is “James" by Percival Everett, and it is a retelling of the “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” from the perspective of the enslaved Jim. Has anyone read this yet?
Yesterday I received my new shirt from the printer. It's the one with the Kamala pronunciation guide on it.
Thought I'd try an experiment.
So earlier today, I wore it to Trader Joes, walked around, did some shopping and received several smiles, a couple of compliments, a thumbs-up and two people asked where they could get one.
Then I drove less than 300 yards to a Walmart and walked around. No compliments, zero thumbs, and multiple very angry looks.
🤣
(and it's helping my mood) 🙂
Music for a tough week. I usually listen to this on low volume, as an ambient background, but today it's cranked it up enough to hear the low-end rumble.
Worth it. Am hearing little details not noticed before.

Absolutely the best ad yet for Kamala Harris. #bratpack #HarrisForPresident
This is like a never ending fever dream.
WTF is it with the right's obsession with — of all things — straws?
A while back they were ranting about how "manly men" should not be using straws at all (ooh, those pursed lips!) , then these same people (mostly the same men, BTW) rant about the left wanting to get rid of "our" plastic straws and how terrible paper would be.
There is a legit mental illness at play here. A mind virus.
And I just don't get it.

^^^ If my words feel upsetting or alienating sometimes, please understand they are not written with animosity or disrespect.
I aim to stay true to myself, out of respect for authenticity, rather than bending to please others. This is my way of presenting my most genuine self.
Our lives are complex, and sometimes we do or think things that are unfathomable to others because we each live our experiences and find our truths in different places.
I posted a song from one of my favorite singers (Perla Batalla) a few days ago.
And wow. Got a surprise today.
Just found out she's releasing a new album on September 21, the day prior to what would have been Leonard Cohen's 90th birthday (she collaborated and sang with Cohen for more than 20 years).
This preview video was released 3 days ago. Here's her cover of "Democracy"
