It’s the Summer Season of what? RED! WINE! TALKS! 6 Fridays in a row, baby! And this time it’s all about the Black Lives Matter movement, how if you’re black outside of the USA you’re not ‘african-american,’ how you have to add a disclaimer to every sentence in 2020, and least importantly, how i thought i would be turning 40 in 20 years.
