Where I Stand
I want to be clear where I stand. If you are “property over people”–if you are talking about burning buildings and not lives lost–unfriend or unfollow me. If you are “all lives matter” and don’t see why that is offensive, go ahead and unfriend or unfollow me. I grew up in the […]

Today I Went for a Run and Didn’t Die (Literally)
Today I *went for a run, and I *did not die.
I *did not worry that I would be blamed for a robbery in my *safe community because of the *color of my skin, or the *way I wore my clothes.
I was *not concerned that a truck would chase me down and threaten my life.
I *do not have to fear when I see a confederate flag on a truck with a shotgun rack (even though I think it's disgusting), I do not worry for my life.
When I was pulled over by the Mass State Patrol, I *did not worry about a wrong hand gesture, reaching for my registration, being blink judged as a weapon. (And I *got out of the ticket.)
Today, I ran with *bougie headphones in my *expensive running shoes, *without worrying that I would be harmed.
