I was watching Mary Berry's new series on Great Houses of England, which focused on the families and how they lived in the houses (and some cooking). She was at the Duke of Richmond's house and talked to one of the daughters, a black woman who was adopted along with her and her sister when they were young. They talked briefly about how shocked certain factions of society were at the "contamination of the aristocracy" (the daughter's own words), but the Duke and Duchess said they were going to share their good fortune with children who might not otherwise be adopted. She's not the heir, but she has a lovely long title of her own.
ION, I have been attempting to cultivate a more grown-up palate. I wanted a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, but I was out of the fancy Swiss cheese I've been using, so I went with the old stand-by of American cheese. It tastes so good. Sometimes you just have to embrace your mid-century mid-American upbringing.
As far as I can tell there's nothing about my race there, though it does have my political affiliation as :very liberal".
Same, although I'm pretty sure "no information about race" = "white."
That's a lot more interesting than the person using mine, who just really REALLY wants to read the Wall Street Journal.
I finally wrote back to the mechanics to let them know that Jackie H wasn't getting their messages. I still get all of her OnStar reports, though.
Inclination to do actual work-work today: very low.
Yesterday I got some new alligator loppers.
I know what these are, but I prefer to picture them as a tool you use to trim large alligators.

They might work for that but it would be... messy
I was trying to make them into shoes, for some reason.
I still can't find these settings. I mean, I found ad settings, but it doesn't show me anything like what you guys are talking about. It took me forever to even find settings. I feel old.
ETA, I finally found it!
I am also Facebook African American

Definitely not shoes. Just loppers with a special ingredient.
