I leave you this week with a moment of grace. Mahalia Jackson remains one of the most celebrated civil rights singers – from Selma to the March on Washington and, tragically, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral. I think, during the next four years and beyond, we can all listen a lot more closely to Black women. Marginalized people will need every last bit of grace the world can give in the face of what is to come. Take a moment, steady yourself. Find your grace and happy weekend, all.
p.s. To the poster who continues to scream about how I lost Kamala the election by going on vacation, not that it’s truly any of your business, but I went to see my 83-year-old mother who I only get to see maybe once a year and lives half way across the country so we could celebrate my birthday together for the first time in more than 25 years and also could ride out the election side by side. If you don’t like how I spend my time you are certainly welcome to stop reading my little blog. Best.

Sad that you have to address a commenter in a post.
Dear "Anonymous" - direct your anger somewhere else, you are not what we need in this community ever. I wish DS had that much power to influence the outcome of an election as this country would be in a much better place but I will happily take the small relief she provides. What are you offering???
