Wife (in admirable baritone to our 3yo): Ho Ho Ho! What would you like for Christmas? 3yo: A teddy bear! But Santa, what would YOU like for Christmas? Wife: <stunned heart-filling silence of a holiday deity who's only ever been squeezed dry for their generosity>

I'm not violent or vindictive. But at the airport a random toddler walked up to my toddler and, unprovoked, slapped her in the face. It took every ounce of me not to throw that baby in the overhead compartment unrestrained to rattle around during takeoff.

And his PARENTS. Were not AT ALL outraged or apologetic enough. Like this was just a thing that happens. Sir. Ma'am. This is not kids being kids. And there's room in that overhead compartment for you and your 'gentle parenting' too.

Landed in the USA for the first time in 2 years. Didn’t realize the weight of fearing for my Black life daily until I went expat. I walked past smiling neighbors with Trump lawn signs in Wisconsin this week, fight or flight came out of hibernation and it felt…American. Cool.

Once again: Actual white allyship requires risk. Risk of losing face, risk of losing power. And most of all, risk of doing/saying the right thing even if it's uncomfortable. Watching them squirm has lost its charm. It's the silence for me. Deafening.

For the record, this is NOT a nomination. But to even be put forth for GRAMMY consideration for my audiobook performance is not something I'd considered in my wildest dreams. I'll be over here in my corner giggling gleefully like a toddler if you need me.

⁦TW: Suicide This was me. Achievement, concealment, alcohol, drugs, depression, self-harm, suicidal. Oh, and surgeon. It's why I wrote my book, hoping more of us would find power in vulnerability. Thanks @lubitz_carrie⁩ for joining the chorus. theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

There are a bunch of wonderful moments in @moryan's BURN IT DOWN, but for me it was this response to an exec who was looking for kudos for doing the bare minimum. I'm putting this into my arsenal of daily 'do better' vernacular.
