I listened to a story about the expansion of UGA’s football stadium. Two years and $185m. I could use a little of that. I like to think I could make better use of those funds.
Is this what ‘red staters” think when they hear $185m for the National Endowment for the Arts?
I received a LinkedIn confirmation from a celebrity. I noticed this happened around 2am. He is based in NYC, the same time zone as me. I was asleep at 2am. I generally am asleep at 10. Maybe this marketing guru’s admonishment to work a little harder/longer is the thing to do. He (or his social media staff) is doing it.
Three people last week let me know the reason my job search is tough is because “black women” are “given” all the good jobs.
I have heard this so often I have an auto-response. “I’m sorry you feel that way. That has not been my experience. I’ll let you know if I find evidence that this is how the world works.”
Calling out family members or acquaintances for their racist bullshit doesn’t change their minds, help me start a new adventure, or make the world a better place.
