I'm sorry, msbelle. He sounds so much like my 26 yo. The only reason he has an apartment, with a friend, is because I found it. The only reason he has a checking account is because I opened it. The only reason he has an electric account is because I opened it. But at least I got him out of the house. I'll also end up giving him my car because it increases the chances of him not losing his job. He bought his last car for $500 then lost it to a towing company when he couldn't afford to retrieve it.
He has the tools to have a successful life. He was given every opportunity and an abundance of love. The rest is on him. (both Mac and B)
The only thing I can say is that all the people I know who were total fuckups in their youth eventually turned into stable adults and are fine. (Eventually.)
In other news, it's a crime that there aren't more black women with this kind of juice, but I just saw a tweet from Roxane Gay where she says, "I want to write about Insatiable. Editors hit me up." and in the few responses I glanced at were both the New Yorker and InStyle.
Nice, Jesse.
It looks like I have some research to do before my primary later this month. 7 candidates for the Dem slot for governor. And a bunch of other races. I've been lax in following.
I have the biggest crush on Roxanne Gay.

Man, I totally want to hear what she has to say about Insatiable. I mean, I can guess her general opinion, but I want to hear it in great detail.
And it sounds like you will!
Wish I'd been able to make progress on the new board lately, but it's been a bad week, and I have so much to do this weekend. Luckily none of the campaigns I volunteered to help were interested so at least there's that.
Gud, remember you still need to rest. Your children are old enough to do things for themselves including: clean, cook, & shop.
Did you see Linda Holmes' review of Insatiable? It's scathing.
