Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's great, Consuela!
How much do you normally see your parents, Consuela, if there is a normal? Are you expecting to spend more time with them as part of your mother's acclimation, or is this close to usual?
I have decided the only way the apple thing is going to stick is if I take notes. So I'm using a totally OTT app with my Evernote back end, and I'm taking a picture of each apple and recording my opinions of the taste. Otherwise I totally forget which is which, and I certainly can't tell them apart by looking.
So I went to Whole Foods and got one of each of the red ones. I'd never even heard of Arkansas Black before. Yoinks.
You know when you get into a weird argument? What is pilot season? I mean, what takes place during it, and when in the year is it?

Many people cite the Arkansas Black as the best eating apple, and I agree with them when I get a good one. Sometimes, probably because of storage, they can be mealy.

I've never heard of Arkansas Black. It sounds like a kind of pot. t edit Marijuana, to be clear. Not a cooking pot.

Okay expert googlers, I need a Kehinde Wiley portrait of two young men. It has a background with silver filigree and one of the young men is in a plaid shirt. HELP!

You all are awesome. I'm using that piece, along with an interview with Wiley + Claude McKay's "If We Must Die" plus a Gwendolyn Brooks poem "The Boy Died in My Alley."
Now I'm looking for an article where a principal talks about the number of funerals she has attended. found it! [link]
Also, if you have other google-fu... Dee and Ricky is based on another pre 20th century portrait (much of Wiley's work is) and if you could figure out what, I'd be in awe. I can't. lots of his portraiture is titled "After ....." which explains where it is from.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
I've never heard of Arkansas Black...
Don't feel bad. I haven't either and I've lived in Arkansas most of my life.
