Just Hide in the Bedroom As Needed Assuming You Haven't Been Redlined – John Lewis In Memoriam and Biz Markie RIP … & OT

 

 

Got inspiration for that title from a comment earlier today … as we’re all going through this incredibly weird weather exacerbated by a climate crisis Exxon & its fossil fuel brethren are paying Republican Senators & Congresspeople to pretend isn’t happening … even as we’re hearing about 2 months’ worth of rain in just 2 days over in West Germany and Belgium.

 

Catastrophic flooding — the worst in decades — in Germany and parts of Belgium has killed at least 120 people.

Officials say climate change is at least partly to blame. https://t.co/uL0ui6rhsk pic.twitter.com/JgG6hhe5jg

Some many only know Miss Cicely from her pantheon of Tyler Perry movies (even as they don’t know that he would regularly double or triple the rate she was paid for each of his movies, once he learned she’d been paid next to nothing for Sounder, where her performance secured her her first Oscar nomination).

But there will be a list and trailer for her not-to-be missed performances in comments … as well as a link for her book, which came out just before she passed.
