The range of emotions I'm feeling about your cousin right now. I am furious. Absolutely livid. And sad sad sad. The audacity of white men who feel victimized is limitless. I'm so so sorry.
Thank you so much for another great year in The Audacity! The roundups are always packed with great tidbits and the book clubs are the highlight of every month. So grateful.
I am beyond enraged about what happened to Claudine Gay. Some people never liked that she had climbed to that post on her own merits. We have to keep fighting. Ain't no stopping now or EVER!!! Happy New Year Roxane and Debbie and everyone who dares to be: AUDACIOUS!
I honestly could not be more sick of those articles about how great big age gaps are that only interview healthy people in the middle of life. Try interviewing the women that spend their midlife caring for someone very elderly. Or interviewing very young widows. Both circumstances should be given equal air time to the “easy breezy” [and very few] healthy happy years when you both are basically of the same abilities.

Thank you. I appreciate it.
Roxane, definitely keep you pride in your cousin, Dr. Gay. That entire hearing was a farce.
I always appreciate your roundups and wish you Debbie and your entire extended family a peaceful, joyful 2024!
I found a GoFundMe for Mrs Prince's hotel (mentioned above), if anyone feels moved by this story as I did. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-young-cha-prince-keep-western-motor-inn-open
This is wonderful. Thank you for finding this and sharing.

So excited for Sohla! This may just be me, but the registration link for the Zoom seems to not be working?

I usually find at least one link per publication that makes my subscription cost well worth it. Today, I found four. 2024 starts off well!!
Love to hear it! Happy new year.
