Nashville is being destroyed right now. Every brick I saw thrown without exception was thrown by white people. This man was yelling at these white people who’d just put horse excrement on a cop car and broke out their windows. He said, ‘they’ll blame us!’ #NashvilleProtest

Y'all have been through all the highs and lows of my triple negative cancer diagnosis, so I wanted you to be the first to know. My dr called after evaluating the tumors they removed surgically. No cancer -- even microscopically!!

Bell? Rung. Body? Worn out. Emotions? All over the place. But... it's over. Thank you to @DavidAFrench for 28 years of care, love, and support (esp the last one). And thanks to all of you for hoping and encouraging me through the darkness.
