After having a mild reaction to my PB & J, I naturally went online to see if the PB has been recalled. It wasn't. But reading this listicle disgusted me. Now I am sharing it with you! Bon appetit! yahoo.com/news/13-peanut…

"Not every single woman has a scary story about a man" Yes they do. I promise you that they do.

@BellyDancnHeffa @HillbillyHighl1 Ha. They will make their opinions known. How are you?

I heart New York!

@joshgondelman I am a YUGE fan of Cole's. I have rewatched Difficult People several times and his line delivery always knocks me out. I cannot wait to see Oh, Mary!

Cole!!!

@QingqileWing @TheCancerSutra @Ahadi20181 This is an incredibly story of triumph. I am in awe of people who will go to such lengths to keep going.

@TheCancerSutra @Ahadi20181 Just about 10 years ago this week, I got diagnosed with Stage 3 nasopharyngeal cancer. Underwent a couple of ops, a ton of chemo and 35 radiation sessions. I’ll be 10 years in remission this November.

6 years ago today. My then-girlfriend’s medical school friend (a derm PA) rolled my pants leg up to ‘take a look’ at a mutating freckle I was mildly concerned about. “Dude, you have cancer.” We were in the middle of a party full of medical professionals. We were supposed to go snowboarding in 12 hours. Instead, my ex, her friend, my best friend, and I drove to her dermatology clinic in Denver the next morning for a rush excision. The head doctor met us there and approved the procedure. Christine, the PA, did the excision. My ex (also a PA) did the prep work/helped stitch. My best friend made jokes while they cut a football out of my calf. The doctor came in a couple times. At one point, she said “has Christine explained to you what the ramifications of this might be?” I told her that I was starting to get the picture. I wouldn’t be formally diagnosed until a week later. Stage 3c metastatic melanoma. Another wide excision and a lymph node biopsy confirmed these. I’m still not entirely sure I understand the ramifications. It’s been 6 years, with a stage 4 recurrence last year. I’m in remission again, and my prognosis remains good in spite of my diagnosis. I can type that sentence and feel hope. I can point to my perseverance and optimism in the face of a shitty situation. I’m also weeping while I’m typing this sentence. I was fine writing the first part. I’ve told this story 1000 times. There are no rules to this game. I’ll never fully understand it. I don’t have to fully understand things to keep going; life rarely works that way. I thought this would be a fun anecdote to show how it started and I just walked myself down 6 years of “what the fuuuuck?” But a superfluous, semi-formal anniversary and a long text post aren’t to blame, either. This is what it’s like in my mind all the time. I’m sure I’m not alone in that regard as it relates to my experience with cancer. I had more points to make before my brain derailed this one. But it’s been a hell of a ride. I’m hopeful to keep living through memorable times, even if they’re not always amazing. #thankscancer #melanoma #mentalhealth

@WUTangKids Ask Mattel to make this Barbie for all of us.

Hang it in a museum

@ReignOfApril @michelle_other 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@michelle_other Nope, he doesn’t. He can keep doing what he is good at. We don’t need to impose additional labor demands on him and his family.

I honestly don’t understand the negativity SOME folks put on Keith Lee. He is literally a Black man changing lives for the better. 🥹

@justme8764 Awwww. My brother is experiencing the same thing with our dad. Good luck with him. I know you're just venting. It is frustrating for sure.

@invisiblegirl99 @ravenscimaven Me too. I am bi-racial. I get extremely dry hands, cuticles, elbows, upper arms. I have to have lotion and lip balm in every bag, purse, backpack. And when I travel -- cuticle cream.

What is the most desperate lotion substitute you used when you were ashy but didn’t have lotion?

@nubbinsmcgee @ravenscimaven I do this when I run out of cuticle cream. One of my best friends almost threw up when she saw me doing it. I don't see what the big deal is.

What's your response to people who tell you to "just try harder"? GIFs only.

@worldlibraries @heymrsbond @MarcusLuther6 If you liked this as an audio book, may I recommend Juneteenth on audio? Listen to it in the summer, hopefully when you have long stretches to travel by car, or train or air. It's bewitching.

@heymrsbond @MarcusLuther6 I envy anyone reading it for the first time. I'd get the audio too to accompany your reading. That dialect is divine! It's as if they are right there in the room with you!

@JohnathanPerk So what did you watch? Do you have any recommendations?

@sasshole Yes, and I drove over the side of the road - very near some train tracks. I ended up on the floor of the passenger side of the car and had to push the driver's side door open like a submarine hatch. Do not recommend.

You ever just give up scraping the ice off your windshield, say “fuck it nobody will be on the roads anyway” and head on out
