You folks always seem to forget that the full proverb is “one bad apple SPOILS THE WHOLE BARREL” this is because rotten apples produce huge amounts of ethylene which cause ALL THE OTHER APPLES TO ALSO BECOME ROTTEN the metaphor IS NOT ABOUT ISOLATED ROT its about COLLECTIVE ROT https://t.co/HTsFriYRw3

Sorry I missed your email. My people are being slaughtered and wrongfully incarcerated on the streets, while we’re amidst a global pandemic and there’s a revolution going on that I can’t miss out on.

Best,

this generation isn’t sensitive, we just won’t let you get away with homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or racist remarks.

Story I learned last night:

I started Girl Scouts in first grade and was an active scout until I was 17 (12th grade)—did ALL the GS stuff and loved my scouting experience. I was a GS national delegate.

My troop, 1001, was in Detroit and almost all black.
