The minimum number of players is of course 2 people, and the maximum is unlimited. Each player takes turns to say the word “penis” louder than the previous player. Most players begin the game with a whisper, but some go right into yelling the word “penis,” forcing other players to yell it even louder. The person who cannot yell it louder than the previous player, whether it be due to voice projection, laughter, or embarrassment, loses. 🍆

Got my first pair of bifocals yesterday. And of course they came at a time I need to dye my hair, like I'm trying to look old. Anyway, some advice for those of you who don't yet have bifocals; when you put them on for the first time, try to remember to be sober.

It wasn't a place that we felt like we belonged.

All of this beauty and energy and environment just stuck to me.

I saw thousands of Black cowboys and they were doing the Cupid Shuffle in the desert and they were cooking turkey legs. And there were Black folks dressed like traditional cowboys. There were also Black folks riding their horses in Jordans and women riding with their braids blowing behind them and their hands with long acrylic nails clutching the reins.

There are Black cowboys pretty much everywhere. I mean, there are Black cowboys here in Portland, Oregon, where I live, which I think is the last place that I would have expected to find them.

I went all the way to Oklahoma to realize that there were cowboys up the road from me who have been there for four generations ... You'd be hard pressed to find a part of America where there wasn't at least some some portion of this culture.

Up until a few years ago, I really thought that term cowboy was a joke when applied to a Black person.

But ultimately, cowboy became a shorthand for our noblest ideals.

A lot of these things our popular culture is hesitant to attribute to a Black person. So I think to have a cowboy rushing in, saving the day with a Black face just didn't jibe with the stories that Hollywood was trying to tell. I think it's erasure. I think it's at best, laziness, at worst, very intentional and malicious. But I'm excited to see that transforming before my eyes.
