I'm sorry: a NYT subscription (after the introductory period) is $25/month?!?

No thanks.

My Amazon prime channels aren't even that much. Hmph.

If anyone has a gift link for that Times article on Black women and menopause, hit a sista up!

Yes, Benson, when Momma has a hot flash in the middle of the dog walk, that means we're going home early, and she'll feed you AFTER she cools down.

Thanks,
Momma

I have made my profile on the App so hostile to the male gaze it's like looking at a Gorgon.

Instead of freaking out and rushing to dial it back, however, I'm letting it stand. Because that Gorgon is an unmediated reflection of me. (Haha see what I did there.)

It has made me see all the tiny subtle ways I've made myself amenable to men *in the past.* Hmph. No more of that.

Dating profiles are little performances. But this dance is all jarring notes and unbeautiful movement. It's an open palm slap.

How many metaphors can I shove into one toot.

Today is one of those days I *feel* skinny.

Don't ask me to explain it.
Maybe because my pillows were in the perfect formation last night and my spine was in proper alignment.

Or maybe because I'm wearing a pair of girly camo pants that are juuuust a little looser in the thigh. I dunno.

All I know is that y'all can't tell me nothin'.
