  1. Week of Convalescence

    During my week of convalescence after getting hit by a car, I watched so much TV that my brain was in danger of turning to mush and oozing through my ears.  

    I watched movies, whole seasons of shows, and true crime documentaries. I got my money’s worth with these streaming services, though I didn’t dip into Starz or Peacock, which I do and don’t pay for, respectively.

    72 Hours with Kevin Hart and SNL’s Marcello Hernandez (movie on Netflix): A ridiculous comedy that Kevin Hart is too old and too far into his career to star in, but right on time for young Marcello. There’s a scene with poached whale penises. I am not ashamed to admit I laughed.

    White Chicks with Shawn and Marlon Wayans (movie on Netflix): I rewatched the comedy out of nostalgia and curiosity to see why Marlon claims people are always asking for a sequel. It don’t need one.

    Adults (series on Hulu): My niece recommended this hilarious comedy about New York roommates in their early 20s to cheer me up. I’m so glad she did. I paid it forward and told a cousin to add it to her queue. I wonder how their table reads and rehearsals went. I hope there’s a third season.

    Dying for Sex with Michelle Williams from Dawson’s Creek (series on Hulu): It’s a dramedy centered around a woman dying of stage 4 breast cancer that spreads to the rest of her body. She leaves her husband to go on a quest to finally experience an orgasm caused by another person. Proceed with caution depending on your mental state.

    Perfect Wife (true crime docuseries on Hulu): The real-life version of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. If you don’t get that reference, go ahead and read the novel. Cheat code: watch the movie starring Ben Affleck. It stayed very true to the novel. A wife disappears for weeks causing everyone to suspect the husband of foul play. Then she returns. Her story has holes.

    Natureboy (true crime docuseries on Hulu): A young Black man started a cult and got vulnerable people seeking connection and direction to follow him around the globe and give him money. Once they were thoroughly brainwashed, he abused them.

    It Ends With Us (movie on Hulu): I read the book (and its sequel) by Colleen Hoover because I learned an adaptation starring Blake Lively was in the works. I was a huge Lively fan. When all the controversy surrounding the movie emerged, I was turned off from seeing it in theaters, knowing it would make its way to streaming. The title stems from Lilly Bloom breaking the cycle of domestic violence and finding real love.

    Is God Is with Sterling K. Brown and Vivica A. Fox (movie on Prime) I can’t say I was excited to watch this movie about a mother who asks her twin daughters to kill their father after his attempted murder of them by setting them ablaze. Something about the trailer didn’t grab me, but I stand corrected after watching it at home.

    Not pictured: the bizarre season 3 of Euphoria with Zendaya and Colman Domingo on HBO Max (Max?) and DVR’d shows, such as my favorite Access Hollywood. I’m heartbroken that after decades on air, NBC cancelled the daily entertainment-centered news show. By the end of this month, no more Scott Evans—at least not on network TV. I’ll still catch him on his YouTube series House Guest, which I also caught up on during the week. I attended the New York stop of the live tour in April. Don Lemon and Tamron Hall were guests.

    Fun Fact: KevOnstage né Kevin Fredericks was Scott’s first guest on House Guest. I had tickets to see KevOnstage’s one man play Grief Sucks the week that lady said she didn’t see me and hit me in the crosswalk. I missed the show and a weekend in Philly.

    Back to the boob tube: I watched hours of Brooklyn News 12 interspersed with a slew of personal injury attorney commercials. Oh, the freaking irony. I changed the channel when the pre-recorded loop of news stories replayed.

    After days of delivery, leftovers, and quite frankly skipped meals, my shoulder gave me permission to cook dinner Saturday. It was a simple stir-fry of beef sausage, beans, corn, onions, and kale. You know what wasn’t simple? Cutting the onions and sausage, and stripping, cutting, and massaging the kale. Why is kale the one being massaged in this household? I pay the damn mortgage.

    Certain tasks I’ll go ahead and struggle to use my left hand, my non-dominant hand. It took me 56 seconds to unlock the two locks of my front door. I know because I recorded myself. My coordination was so off. I later figured I should insert with the right, then turn (what caused the pain) with the left. But when it comes to knives, I’ll go ahead and grit my teeth and bear the pain while I do what needs to be done. Same for putting my waist-length braids into a bun to can shower. My shoulder was on fire, shooting bolts down my bicep and up my trapezoid, but I’ve been here before.

    The other day, I made spaghetti. Neither stirring the spaghetti nor straining the water were easy feats, but I did them.

     Clap for me!

    While prepping, cooking, and eating, I started and finished listening to audiobook Baggage Claimed by Alexandra Warren. The spicy romance aka smut novella clocks in at 2 hours and 37 minutes. I listened at 1.5 speed, and I’m moving slowly these days, so even pausing for a call didn’t stop me from finishing around the same time I finished eating. Cleaning? Well, the pots went on the bottom shelf of the fridge and everything else loaded into the dishwasher.

    During the week, I finished audiobook Miracle at St. Anna by James McBride and physical book With Love from Harlem by ReShonda Tate. Miracle was a Libby hold due the next day with someone waiting. I listened on double speed while I wallowed at the police station to file a report about the crash.

    With Love from Harlem is also tainted. I read the first 130+ pages of the historical fiction novel about the relationship between Hazel Scott and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr (news to me!) during my first emergency room trip in August due to a respiratory viral infection. I was there from 7 pm to 4 am. They owe me a w2 for that work shift.

    It’s a long weekend and the last few days of summer. The plan is to end the bed and couch rot to venture out and enjoy this beautiful city. I may go to the movies. A theater with reclining seats, of course.

    This is a standalone piece, but for more context read Funny, Not Funny: 2026 Car Crash Edition.

  2. #Trump’s alleged #sexual #assault of a #minor: what we know & what’s still being hidden
    🤦‍♂️"only 16 pages hv been disclosed, meaning 37 pages r still being withheld by te Trump admin.. More than 2 dozen #women hv accused Trump of #sexualassault. In 2023, a #jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing writer #EJeanCarroll in te mid-90s & later defaming her.. Trump was #recorded #bragging about his ability to get away with sexual assault in 2005 on an #AccessHollywood tape"🧐

  3. I think we forget about the #AccessHollywood tape, how strange and brutal it was, and how it directly framed what we learned from the #Epstein Files.

  4. All of the images. All of the words. All of the lies from "our" government.

    Remember the Access Hollywood recording of Trump boasting about grabbing them by the...

    He was boasting about what he had done to children at Epstein's.

    I'd tell these people:

    "He didn't *betray* you. This is who he's ALWAYS been.

    Kamala warned you. Bernie warned you. Hillary warned you. The courts. Dozens of women he sexually assaulted... even T**** himself warned you (ie: #AccessHollywood).

    Don't act all surprised that he told you what you wanted to hear to get you to give him the power he craves."

  6. #AccessHollywood recording of #DonaldTrump & #BillyBush in 2005 #Trump said "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #TDS #MAGA #Maxwell #Pedophiles #Pedo

  7. I wondered about this October surprise in 2016, but now I think Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner’s book explains why+ a little more overt tolerated then. We’ll soon know.?wapo.st/3Cm12C8 #AccessHollywood #tiktok #wellsoonknow

  8. Update: Another piece of political art has popped up — this time in Philadelphia. Philly Voice reports that a statue of Donald Trump has been placed in Maja park, behind a bronze sculpture of a nude woman. Beneath it is a plaque that quotes Trump on the "Access Hollywood" tape that was leaked before the 2016 election: "I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait," the plaque says. "And when you're a star they let you do it. Grab them by the p****. You can do anything." An identical statue appeared in Portland, Oregon on Sunday but was vandalized and removed within hours. Here's more.

  9. #KamalaHarris has prosecuted #SexOffenders (cf. #EJeanCarroll case and #AccessHollywood tape), fraudsters (cf. #TrumpUniversity $25 million settlement for #fraud and conviction of #Trump and #TrumpOrg for 34 felonies in #NewYork ), cheaters (cf. the 13 #RICO indictments of #DonaldTrump for interference in #Georgia during the #2020election , and thieves (cf. #DonaldTheDeplorables indictments for #ClassifiedDocuments theft in #Florida ).

    #Kamala #Harris said “I know Donald Trump’s type!” 🔥 👏

  10. #ChrisHayes is doing a good job of going over all the times #Republicans were prepared to #DumpTrump: after the #AccessHollywood tape; after #Jan6... thinking he couldn't possibly win in 2016. And now here they are rallying behind him despite being convicted of #SexualAssault, and a #ConvictedFelon on 34 counts of Campaign Finance Fraud.

    #Assange IS NO HERO, STOP MAKING HIM OUT AS ONE.

    He colluded with Rodger Stone of the T**** campaign, selectively leaking stolen material while withholding anything that didn't serve his purpose.

    When the #AccessHollywood tape broke, he was asked to leak the fact #Clinton had a private email server (which wasn't a crime and nothing sensitive was found on it, but the T**** camp hyped to distract from the tape.)

    He isn't a "journalist". He's a political ratF***r who spread misinformation.

  12. "Steve Brodner, drawing for the Nation... His illustration depicts Lady #Justice toting #Trump toward a #prison cell as she says, “Grab him by the law.”

    Shortly after the #verdict came in, “I began thinking about the #AccessHollywood tape and how this #verdict was, in a way, the ghost of that long-ago tape finally coming home to roost — and having Trump as the one who gets grabbed. And I liked the idea of Lady Justice doing the honors,” said Brodner"
