I had lost the will to tweet, but then a man who was walking down the street said into his phone, “Just keep singing those love songs, Darren. You don’t want to become a political prisoner.”

I keep forgetting about my pivot to serenity. So I just want to say I continue to wish the best for the Lakers and also I recently read My Phantoms, which I thought was great, so I am also wishing the best for Gwendoline Riley.

Also, while I’m here—guys, I hate the police. I hate the way people have leapt to defend the killing of Jordan Neely. But the National Police Association is not real. They don’t even do much for cops. They just say fucked up things and ask for donations. indystar.com/story/news/inv…

A year ago, Barbara Massey-Mapps’ sister, Kat, was murdered by a white supremacist in a Buffalo grocery store. If the state doesn’t kill him — the shooter faces the death penalty — she wants to.

thank you again to the lakers, who did so much for me personally last night💜💛🫡

ok temporarily pivoting back to serenity. go lakers.

After several days of angry posts about racism and he political catstrophe of New York I just want to say: I love the Los Angeles Lakers, who do so much for me emotionally and spiritually and always have. It would be really great if they won Monday. 👍🏾
