..that makes me glad I can “consort” with non-black women and mostly receive sidelong glances (and mostly from black women)…. But they’re not going to try and kick me out.

Using a mouse
A wireless one. It’s pretty cool. Haven’t really done this in a long time. It even works on the lumpy surface of my chair.
