Hi SOUL Hi! Lovianhal!
How you? I’m glad you’re here. I’m here too! I love you.
Yesterday was Juneteenth. Did you put out cookies for Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass? Go to any parties? Drink red juice or eat a freedom cake? Prayerfully you stayed away from Walmart et Target… as for me and mine–we rested like our lives depended on it. It was the right thing to do.
Rumpelstiltskin’s parade didn’t go quite the way he thought– but the American People were clear about their lack of interest in any kings. Which is definitely a flex if ever there was one. The fact that folx are really and truly starting to put the maths together that so-called President 45-47 prolly didn’t win this election legitimately and has said so out loud more than a few times is definitely interesting–considering how little is being done about it. On top of that, somewhere between the rickety parade with the paltry turnout, the millions who did turn up for No Kings protests across country and the people flooding their socials timelines with pictures of Barack Obama in a tan suit (oh, the scandal that was– remember?) Amanda Seales got on Harriet Tubman’s interwebs to ask in earnest what Barack Obama ever did for Black people. Why she picked that day (or any day right now) to rehash this particular point of view is beyond me. If ever there was a sign that outrage is manufactured for engagement–here it is. Candace Owens used the same tactic. As did Omarosa. But I’ll digress…
That said.
Since everyone has seen Sinners who is going to see it at this point, I feel like I can talk freely about it now. Cornbread, specifically, has been on my mind. A lot. Remember how relaxed Cornbread was prior to getting bit? He was chill, but he was also a big dude that nobody was gonna fck with. You know what I’m saying? So then post bite, he’s at the door trying to convince his people to let him in (so he can eat them up) but he doesn’t want them to know that he’s trying to eat them up. So he’s talking all sorts of nonsense that nobody is buying. It’s a rouse. A manipulation. He’s using words he’d never use in his desperation to be believed. Because lies are desperate. Lies need momentum. They need manufactured emotion. Lies need a little something extra that the truth don’t need to get through. You feel what I’m saying?
I’ve also been thinking about how many times I’ve met this particular energy in my life. With exes and co-workers and politicians on TV rattling off the most absurd hyperbole. I’ve been thinking about how many times I’VE BEEN THIS ENERGY. With my parents growing up (I DID NOT sneak out of the house! Why won’t you believe me?) When somebody accused me of something I wasn’t ready to admit to (How dare you accuse me of being mean to you! I’m a GOOD PERSON!) We see this energy more and more in the palm of our hands because more and more people are broadcasting their unhealed stuff from the palms of their hands.
I’m not here judging. I’m here saying. Thou doth protest too much. And its a tell that’s bigger than a reimagined Shakespeare line. And just like post-bite Cornbread knew he was lying–but also a trite protest away from his next meal, there’s plenty here worth exploring as we navigate Summer Solstice energy with a dictator in office and people out here on these interwebs losing their damb minds.
