Made a promise to myself to begin writing about my hospitalizations, lung collapses and chronic illnesses. Today, I’m happy to share a reported essay I wrote for the @TODAYshow about the frustrating journey to diagnosis and the lessons I’ve learned since.

This is 100% what happened. Landlord called in ICE to brutalize tenants and clear out the building.
There’s been so many instances exactly like this: slumlord wants to offload a property, so they call ICE and say they suspect migrant gangs/traffickers/whatever. ICE comes in, humiliates, detains, intimidates, and robs every tenant until the building clears out

News, personal: @chicagotribune has eliminated the post of film critic. This left me two options: wait for a newsroom reassignment or take the buyout. I took the buyout. Time for something new, somewhere else. Exit column later this week. (1/3)

my pitch is to name every movie in the series after a different Monica song (So Gone, The First Night, etc.)
A sequel to ‘ONE OF THEM DAYS’ is in the works. Keke Palmer & SZA are set to return.
