I put my head in a blender quite completely by accident on Thursday morning, and I’m still trying to get my legs back under me.

I’ve lived in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I never had a friend, I never had an acquaintance, I never knew anyone who wore blackface. Is this a Virginia thing, or was I sheltered?”
