RWA Weekly Roundup #0018

Constant Vacation

Good Day To You Everyone,

It’s another RWA Weekly Roundup for yah.

The world seems to be getting more crazy, despite people’s efforts to turn back to a simpler time. Like, for example, the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade or Gun Law Reforms getting shot down, making it easier to carry a concealed weapon. These governmental changes are only going to make things more cray. Women will still get their abortions but it will be less safe and less legal. People will carry and conceal their weapons in public places like the supermarket just in case they feel the need to whip it out and protect themselves.

Weirder though is my lack of care about it all. Lately I’ve been feeling more lackadaisical than ever. I just don’t care, and it’s not that I don’t recognize injustice –– I have just accepted that the world is set up a certain way and it’s a wild and wacky time, to say the least.

My job in all this is to remain as cool, calm, and collected as possible. It’s this that is my rebellion, I refuse to be removed from my own sense of peace just because the world around me looks ugly. It’s delusional maybe but again, I just don’t care. I’m here to live life until it’s over and I will have my life looking as close to a constant vacation as possible.

This means, getting my exercise daily, drinking two coffees a day, smoking weed when I can afford it, and relaxing as much as possible. Peace be with you everyone.

bruh, how does having a sovereign right to a GUN and not your BODY make any damn sense?!

A poor harvest of chiles has caused an “unprecedented shortage” of Asian hot sauces, said a California-based firm that produces one of the world's most popular sriracha sauces. “I only have like three bottles. What am I going to do?” said one sriracha fan.

Imagine if we celebrated so many emancipation days that we didn't have to work anymore

Juneteenth is one of many, many, many emancipation days across the Americas and while it is *specifically* about the emancipation of African Texans, I think we can also celebrate the emancipation of other Africans whom the news came to before AND after June 19, 1865.

That’s all I’ve got for you this week. I’ll be back next week with more of whats on my mind and in my orbit.

Big Love,
