McDonald holds the record for most Tonys ever won by a performer, and is the only person to have a Tony in all four acting categories. And when her 11th nomination was announced on May 1, she officially became the most Tony-nominated performer in history, at just 54 years old."

“If the truth be told, however, it is white violence that has been and remains a mainstay of American culture. White violence has been tolerated and carried out in this country against people of color, most often, but not limited to, Indigenous Americans and African Americans.”

This is by far one of the worst displays of idiocracy during diplomatic negotiations I’ve ever had the displeasure of witnessing.
This 🐩 (Trump and his 🐀 Vance) are going to have us at war by year end. For this 🍆 measuring contest with Zelenskyy (who is bigger) and other ILLEGAL, WAR CRIMINAL, behavior.
Get me tf out of here.

It’s safe to say — I’m still not over it. I accepted immediately, but over it, nah.
I don’t think any of us should get over it.
My composition has changed a bit. Unlearning. Relearning. Detaching myself from a poor cable news and mainstream media diet. Selective reading. Selective listening.

My neighbor has had his motorcycle outside throttling for 30 minutes. I was about to just go outside and kick it over because that noise was driving me INSANE!
Yes, I’m aware that’s not normal to hear things like that.
Yes, I’m aware it’s called misophonia.
No, you don’t get used to it
