I stole this from @goldengateblond because it's hilarious. "There are people who would call these “microaggressions,” and I want all of us to stop using that word because it minimizes the impact of these things when they happen, and because they happen so frequently, they are no longer “micro.” They are macro AF. This morning when I got to the Starbucks drive thru, some lady was being obnoxious and holding up the line complaining about to their lack of vegan options as it the hourly employees on the early morning shift could do anything about it, so I made sure to give my girlies some love when it was my turn because they didn't deserve that. Tyler Perry said he knows couples where the woman makes significantly more money than the man, and they are fine with it. My morning so far: New bullet journaling supplies from @yourzicoto! Good morning my loves. This morning. The erasure of the Black musicians who created the blueprint for what would later become rock and roll as we know it is egregious.

Grammar Tips

Apart vs a part

Aside

Remember kids, you can’t be “a part” of something if you are “apart” from it.

These mean two different things, and they aren’t interchangeable.

“A part” is inclusive. “Apart” is exclusive.

I hope this helps.
