#13: Peace Out

Yes, I'm taking YET another break

Hello!

Welcome to the thirteenth-ish issue of Blaxplaining, a weekly newsletter examining the nuances of Black contemporary life and current affairs. If you like this newsletter, please follow @blaxplaining on Twitter, and share it with everybody and their momma, and then some.

Y’all might have realized that there wasn’t an issue last week and there’s a good reason for that. Things have been looking good these past few weeks, so I wanted to take some time and relish in it. Also in the last issue, I detailed my feelings about the ruckus this year. And I’m going to be honest with y’all, I have nothing else to say about this year, or about politics or race...at least until after the election.

Don’t get me wrong. I love doing this newsletter, but I love my peace more. And if I haven’t learned anything else this year, I’ve learned that Black joy trumps everything. But I appreciate you all for sticking with me on this writing journey so far, and I hope to speak with you all on November 8th (hopefully when we have a new President and Senate majority leader). 

Until then folks!
