From the article: âð was called a [redacted] long before ð was called a ni**er.â
Me? Last called a [redacted]: thanksgiving morning, out walking the dog. Responding promptly, ðTold the guy to get his ass over here so ðcould stuff it like a turkey.

Scooter hair and new sunglassesâ two of my absolute favorite âlittle thingsâ about my time abroad. After watching Atomic Blonde on the plane, Iï¸ knew Iï¸ was due for a pair just like these.
It was a silver tab t-shirt. Probably $25. My mom, god bless her, bought it for me. From 16-22, eye wore that shirt. After eye lost a ton of weight, eye cut it up and wore it more.

Candles, every love song, and even Black-ishâall reiterating this
narrow story of âhusband plus child equals womanâ. And the
patriarchyâthe patriarchy is not pleased with me right now. Iâm
failing at my function. Let me tell you, Mike Pence is fucking
