Rather than a New Year’s resolution list - because I REFUSE to group things via some old Greco-Roman 365 day false construct - here’s my “SOMMA Y’ALL NEED TO STOP” this year list:

SOMMA Y’ALL NEED TO STOP...

…with the“Feels like” forecast, cause it does me no good when I step out the door and slip and bust my buttocks on icy ground. Tell me how much snow we gonna get today. And stop telling me how you think I’m going to feel, because you don’t know me and it does not help me dress for going out.

…with the Black people were the original aboriginal people on this continent long before the the “Siberian Land-bridge Crossing Folks (yes, I’ve heard Original Peoples/Native Americans called that)” theory thing. No. Or at least suggest some scholarly read on it. Wait, it’s so revolutionary and true that the scholarly status quo ignores or isn’t hip to it? No. Otherwise, no.

…saying “the problem with race in this country is that we’re always talking about it”. Yeah I’m still friends with the person that said this to me because of my unerring love and overflowing equanimity for all peoples even when a good cussing out is more likely warranted.

…putting raisins in potato salad. No.

…with the wheezy laugh track on your posts that might actually be funny without it.

…getting dogs just to have tied in the yard. Invest in an alarm system that isn’t sentient and that doesn’t need to be petted and loved

...getting dogs. Full stop.

…and think and call your Black friend up and ask them to call they momma or Aunt Amy (mine is 102) for that potato salad recipe if you want to be a hit at the next gathering. No raisins or you’ll get your ass sent back over that land bridge. I ain’t playing with you. I had cancer.
