On one hand, I find the bastardizing of “woke” amusing. But then, as a black man, I find it infuriating. Because the performing “governor” of Florida is going to try and woke his way into 1600. Im already exhausted and we haven’t even really hit peak political season yet

took me a moment to realize you meant 1600 as in "the address on Pennsylvania Ave" and not "an era when 'slave merchant' was a profession you could raise a family on."

Her newsweek op-ed might be my least favorite part of this entire exhausting ordeal. The entire thing boils down to "As the mother of CHILDREN, I was thinking about CHILDREN, and it's hard raising CHILDREN, and don't you feel bad for me??" And she still never defines woke! Oh and she also refers to herself as a "breeder", so there's your vomit-inducing news for the day.

They said something disparaging about motherhood, so i forgot the entire premise to my book is awesome.
