Final episode. Seasons and reasons, chile. I have an amazing conversation(as per usual) with the brilliant Jaylon. I am so proud of him and his team working with grassroots organizations out there in Austin. I hope this episode makes you think and also, be inspired.

Lovecraft Ep 3 My thoughts and Guesses I am enthralled with this show that I enjoy the Easter Eggs sprinkled among each episode. I also, enjoy the history that they present sometimes with context and sometimes NOT. Get wit it. I honor the LEGACY of Chadwick, who is my FOREVER King, Jackie, and James. I also, share my love for MY Queen BEY. I didn't know HBO would sneak out Episode 4 of LoveCraft Country early (insert Jonah Hill screaming GIF).

We are almost done with the year. At this point, I should say what has 'Rona done for you?! ...maybe slowed you down in a good way and realized hidden talents?! I remember when her business was just an idea but now it is REALITY. I am so proud of my friend for seizing moments and blossoming in her craft.

I just want to know something (clears throat). If YOU are doing things people accuse YOU of Why SPEAK if it ain't true?! I feel like there were plenty of US that felt we were not doing enough but did what we could. I know some people donated, marched, picked up protesters, feed protesters, and educated themselves in the meantime. NOTHING IS WRONG with that.

P.s. not just any functioning adult, though but you know what I mean lol Jaylon joins me on this episode to talk about POLItICS ( insert Spongebob meme).

...You give me butterflies inside, inside. I recently spoke to Tam and she said, " by listening back to the previous episode she fell in love with her husband, again." I LOVE it so much. I STAN. I enjoy LOVE stories because one day I do aspire to love with no bounds. After, this episode I had to reflect and ask myself could I be ready for this? I think so. I wanna know the LOVE that is sung about in um-teen-billion songs. ...maybe I could write a love song about me in love and it is not so clich...

I like Pete. I like his enthusiasm except when it comes to "black issues". I want to believe that since he is a member of the LGBTQ+ Community that he could understand being in a marginalized group but I just don't knoooowwwww. Anyway, I encourage people to be the best human possible. I just can't imagine some of the laws that are extremely sexist, ageist, and just downright horrible and are getting passed. I know we have to find the BEST candidate but we are picking the lesser of two evils. Sho...
