On the Riots of 6 January 2021: Part 1
This has been a tough week, readers-mine. You'll have to pardon the fact that I am a few days late as we had a family emergency, I was dealing with Turtle's birthday and memory sharing, and I'm still in recovery from surgery. So, between the personal stuff and the national stuff, it's been quite the week to process. That said, it was shocking watching the Capitol be desecrated, but it was not surprising. For those who are from another country or were living under a rock for the past week in the U.S. for whatever reason, go here, here, and here for a rundown of events.

December
One thing is for sure, 2020 has been a doozy of a year. It's been filled with all sorts of loss, health issues, and problems, both for me personally and the world. However, it's also been filled with love. It's been filled with people stepping up and helping each other out. Hopefully, 2021 will be an upswing for the world.

Lovecraft Country: An Introduction
I do want to make it known that neither the book nor the HBO show are for children in any way. Both are created for adults who are critical thinkers and understand that fiction tells us the truths that are often too difficult to face in reality. It creates a space for us to be empathetic, to put ourselves in the shoes of people who live disparate lives, and to realize that, underneath it all, we are human beings who are more alike than we are different.
