Hello there! I have things to say:
My blog (Angry Black Lady Chronicles) merged with This Week in Blackness this past Monday (along with Jack & Jill Politics) and can now be found here. I’m Editor-at-Large, along with Baratunde Thurston and Cheryl Conti of JJP. Elon James White is Managing Director with Dacia Mitchell serving as Managing Editor. (More on that here and here.)
In addition, I’ll be the new host of TWiB in the Morning with L. Joy Williams, starting this coming Monday. So, if you enjoy black stuff, as I know you do, then come hang out at TWiBNation. Sign up for TWiBNet. Put some stank on it.
I don’t know how much I’ll be posting over here, frankly. It’s not that I don’t love you people (racistly), but I just don’t know how much time I’m going to have. I started my full-time position at RH Reality Check this past Monday (huzzah!) and I will be waking up at 5 am Monday -Thursday to host AMTWiB, at least until I come to my goddamn senses and move to the east coast. So, if you were wondering (as I’m so sure you were), that’s what’s going on with me.
What’s going on with you? Oh right, I don’t care.
I kid! Of course I care! Sort of.
But seriously — come hang out at TWiB sometime. It’s pretty fun over there. And listen to the many TWiB podcasts. There’s a whole lotta blackness going on, but I’m fairly certain you can handle it. I believe in you.
Oh, and I was interviewed by Jaclyn Friedman for the Fucking While Feminist podcast, if you care to take a listen. We talked about Kermit Gosnell, white babies, birth control, and sexual agency. Good times, all in all.
That’s all. Cheers, everyone.

The reply is left as an exercise for the student.
But cool beans, ABL!
The Fat Kate Middleton
Very cool, indeed.

I am glad you are happy doing what you are doing. You could always have your show three hours later, and that would save you having to move out there.

What’s going on with you? Oh right, I don’t care.
Alas, such is the way of the internet and love.
That’s all. Cheers, everyone.
Good luck with the new gig!

Wow congrats and best of luck to you ABL! You’ll totally rock the mornings!
Calouste
Good lock ABL!
Great to hear that you conversion from lawyer to media activist has been successfully completed.
Elizabelle
Imani: congratulations. A lot on your plate, but you’ll do smashingly.
Is Nate Dogg getting up at five too?
TaMara (BHF)
Congrats. Well deserved. But don’t be a stranger, ya hear?!
Violet
Congrats, ABL! Glad to hear things are going so well. Do we get to say we knew you when?
Darkrose
Grats ABL! But getting up at 5…yeesh. Though I have another reason to try to keep up with the TWiBcasts.
Mnemosyne
Congratulations!
Genine
Congrats!

OT: Giant explosion at a fertilizer factory in West, TX. Hope all TX BJ-ers are safe.
Mark S.
Congrats, ABL!
@tc:
Geez, 60-70 people dead. That’s insane.
SatanicPanic
I listen to the TWIB. Elon’s hyperactive monologues are pretty damn funny

@tc:
That’s why McVeigh chose fertilizer for his truck bomb — it’s extremely dangerous if not handled exactly right.
I think it was Martin in one of the threads below who asked which super-genius decided to build a nursing home next to the factory. What could go wrong?
Violet
@tc: West is a small town about 20 miles north of Waco. What is it with Waco? Explosion sounds terrible–near a nursing home too. Awful.
SatanicPanic
@tc: jeezus.
The Moar You Know

Mr Stagger Lee
Good Sailing at your new post!
Imani Gandy (ABL)
Thanks y’all, and Nate Dogg will start cropdusting at 4:30, so the smell should wake me up.
Ms. D. Ranged in AZ (IrishGirl)
Good on you! Good luck with the new job and TWIB endeavors. I’m going to try to keep following your work, wherever or whoever you write for.

@Ms. D. Ranged in AZ (IrishGirl):
Ms. D, I tried to talk my mom into taking your kitties with no luck. :-( There is a small local rescue group that may be able to help you find a spot for them if you ask:

ABL, u rock. And what do you feed Nate Doggie, for Pete’s sake, that he wakes you up with his emissions?
Batocchio
Nice! Good luck.
Patricia Kayden
Congrats on all your endeavors, ABL. But as someone who gets to work at 5:30 am, I say “join the club”. Hope we hear from you from time to time. At least, you can plan to attend the Democratic Convention with Cole again in 2016. That was fun.
I'mNotSureWhoIWantToBeYet
Congratulations ABL! Success to you, and Elon and crew, in all the new projects. Don’t be a stranger.
Cheers,
Scott.

Good for you, ABL! I pretty much only come to balloon-juice these days but I shall add your site to my daily checkin. We’ve never met but I sorta feel like I know you, and I always try to support the people I know in their endeavors.
Ben Cisco
@Patricia Kayden: Hey, 5:30 is my start time too! This site has gotten me through many a morning…
Ms. D. Ranged in AZ
@Mnemosyne: Thank you anyway. I will check out the rescue group. I am moving end of next month and that is my absolute deadline to find them a home. I break into tears every time I think about having to give them back to the Humane Society.

@Ms. D. Ranged in AZ:
I don’t know if you’ll see this, but another local place worth trying might be R.E.S.C.U.E. — they’re a no-kill shelter in Phoenix:
