Amen.

Oof! Not cursing. And under those circumstances? Nope. We can disagree without all that. Presuming you didn't put her outta the car, lucky girl. I appreciate your POV of gratitude.

A Bit of Good News: 3 Book Ban Bills Defeated in Florida PEN America has shown up each legislative session with a goal: to push back against censorship in our schools, colleges, and universities.

Things can feel pretty hopeless out there sometimes, but I need you to know that, yeah, even though we lose some fights, we also WIN a lot of fights. Here's some news from PEN American about 3 book ban bills we defeated IN FLORIDA.

And where has Faith's momma been?

Both as Faith's mother and Amanda's cop partner, longtime best friend, Evelyn should've been in several episodes this season.

Plus...

Faith is struggling emotionally with the job since falling for Malcolm (Is that that man's name?) and trying to rescue trafficked girls, which looks like a set-up her leaving.

So, is Will Trent ditching its two (the best dressed) Black women characters?

"The problem is, Will Trent doesn't need a reset."

Adelaide knows everything Will does, she knew he didn't SEND Amanda to investigate and could stop Amanda without killing her.

This was "a disrespectful off-screen death" for the character and the actress that only gives Will another emotional hit.

Still thinking about the two books
TWO
that I DNFed this week
(in just this week)
because of overly earnest women characters.
Am I so hard that I cannot tolerate
the impassioned emotions of women with misunderstood ambitions,
stifling expectations, confused affections?

I do not fear
being alone, my dear;
I fear being in a room
full of people I cannot
trust.
