Another Better Black Friday

Another Better Black Friday

Well, it’s another Black Friday. Hence, once again I’m going to advise you to avoid the yearly insanity and mob violence of this manufactured shopping paroxysm – especially in these times. Better by far in my opinion to stay home and enjoy this Black Friday. Do it right, and you can even give them something to be thankful for next year. 😉

Another Juneteenth

And Another Juneteenth

Well, it’s another Juneteenth – the second one as a federally mandated holiday. It’s also the second federally mandated holiday specifically for a singular race and, like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it’s for- and about the Blacks within our nation’s borders.

Ah well. While I’m disgusted by a race-based – even more a second one – federal holiday since this violates the whole spirit of America, Juneteenth does give me a great, if not really needed, excuse to present some beautiful Black babes for our enjoyment. And… who’s really going to complain o’ermuch about a day off from work with pay?

Ending Black History Month

Ending Black History Month Right

It’s the last day of Black History Month, which I almost forgot about due to repeated attacks of life. 🙄 So, somewhat as reparations and somewhat as just wanting to encourage certain sorts of diversity, here’s 90 fine Black babes to end Black History Month right.

Oh, and Gentlemen, if you really want to end Black History Month, I strongly suggest being fully inclusive in your life so that we have one, integrated history, that of Americans of a myriad of ethnic backgrounds. Think of it as an affirmative action towards equity and making MLK’s dream come true.

My First Juneteenth

My First Juneteenth As An Actual Holiday

This is not my first awareness of the Juneteenth “holiday.” Nor is it the first time I’ve raised a drink for it. With one of my wives being Black, I’ve been aware of the date and what significance it’s been held to have for well over 20 years. This is, however my first Juneteenth when it was an actually federally recognized and generally observed holiday. I’m even getting a day of with pay because of it!

Hence, I’m spreading the celebration of this day with a plethora of examples of why there was a serious and pervasive upside to the South losing their bid for independence and the Blacks being given their freedom and personhood.

Shoulder Cosmology

Shoulder Cosmology Of The Religious Sort
(Click to Enlarge)

Cosmology in the religious as opposed to the secular, anti-theist context, is the explanation of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe, from a more natural, religious perspective. It is also largely irrelevant to us mortals. Our personal cosmology is what we should be concerned about, not Creation’s.

So, rather than considering Heaven’s plan for creation, consider the state of your own soul and the angel and devil on your shoulders.

Of course, if you’re at all like me, you’re more likely considering how to get either your angel or your devil on both your shoulders. 😉
