NOTE
Kicking Butker
Who knew that being a homemaker was so disgusting? It was all over social media: “You’ll never believe what he said.” So, prepared to be scandalized! I watched the commencement speech that shook the world, made by the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, Harrison Butker, and discovered that the world was shocked, simply shocked, that he had the gall to go and say the most natural thing to have ever been said by a loving husband about a loving wife.

NOTE
Rebranding the Devil: Taylor Swift and the Davos Witch
I met a witch my first week at Juilliard. We were both freshman and I had gotten to know her roommate. The three of us went to eat chinese food on my birthday. It was a simple conversation about our various backgrounds. I was from a big family. She was an only child. I was a Christian. She was a witch.

NOTE
Lent, Mascara, and Blac Chyna
It was March and Lent was in full swing. It was the sort of day that promises the spring that hasn't fully arrived, and we were prepping for a meeting. It was a fairly important business meeting and the whole Annie Moses Band team had been working long hours getting the elements in hand. As we headed for the door, I looked at my mother, and said, “Mama, you forgot your mascara.” “I gave up mascara for Lent," she said.
