Hi!

Do you hate cancer too? Please consider donating to my #JimmyFundWalk page.

I’m walking today in honor of my cousin and many other loved ones who bravely fought cancer. He was diagnosed and passed within five months of diagnosis in 2023.

Me and my cousin during simpler times in Richmond, VA. A young black boy in a dapper ass sweater with black slacks, smiling. A young black girl with a white sweatshirt and Mickey Mouse sweatpants wave. They had that shit on.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I may not read all this because where is Catchings, Moore, Wilson from the WNBA?

Serena is way too low and where is Venus? No Simone and is SAFP on the list?

And I can’t believe I’m saying this but where is Steph Curry?

Liviu Librescu and I believe a lecturer and grad assistant did at Virginia Tech.

Schools should be places to believe in the best of everyone - not where the worst is manifested.

Or auctioning off books and items from the shows.

Just let me get a piece of Mr. Roger’s toy train.

RIP to an inspiration - Diane Keaton. Here’s Basil when we celebrated the arrival of Diane Keaton season last year.
A very cute dog with an oatmeal cream sweater on. She’s a mostly white dog with black tall ears, and black spots all over. She’s posing on a green carpet with a blue Pendleton blanket behind her. She honored Diane through drip, as we all should.

She was an absolutely wonderful actress- and a rare and fascinating person. Thoughts with her children and sisters. Rest in peace Diane.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa
