Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So I kind of feel like she gets so much ink over her public persona because people are critiquing US culture, without acknowledging how rarely Black women are thought of as desirable. So we are locked into this weird space where of course Bey is objectified, but all women are objectified.

Most Black women are not desired, but Bey is. Bey is making $$ where few of us can't. So Bey is a terrorist?

Should all Black women entertainers be Tracy Chapman? Then too, objectification is what it is whether we are wearing a dress, a slip, or whatever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She is corporate, she is a brand, she wants to make $$.

She's not a businessman, she's a business, man. (sorry)

I wonder if someone has done a study on how much time people with serious illnesses spend on the damn phone?

double checking with doctor's offices, talking to nurses who didn't know two other nurses had just called with the same update, finding out Office 1 has scheduled something the same time Office 2 has scheduled something . . .

I don't think HIPAA laws are supposed to stop a clinic from communicating with staff inside itself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

On today's episode of Paternity Court (DON'T JUDGE ME), there's a child named J'Adore.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I regularly watch TATTOO NIGHTMARES, so I have not much dignity to judge you by.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Lately I've been going to the gym when Judge Alex is on. I will neither confirm nor deny that I deliberately time it that way.

I feel like I've been in a slapfight with my inbox since I got in this morning, and I'm rapidly losing the ability to can.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Dana, how do they pronounce it?

Our wings are not tired.

Maybe some junk TV would help the Monday issues. Mine sucks on many levels. Outlook for Tuesday not much better.

Beyonce on the other hand is a delight. She brings a smile to all members of my immediate surroundings. People would be free to criticize away if I were 1/100 as successful as she is!!
