Ginger Snapped Chronicles

Doodles, stories, and goofy stuff . Some of it tells the story of a chainsaw-wielding ginger snap cookie, and some of it is just stuff that makes me laugh.

I am Black. My husband is white. Our son is 9 months old.

My mother-in-law referred to the Black Lives Matter protests as “riots and craziness.” Riots and craziness. 

Those protesters are fighting for my parents, my brother, my sister-in-law, my niece and nephew, my aunts, my uncles, my cousins, my friends, me, and my son. The grandson you claim to love and miss, Elsie. Or do you think police brutality won’t apply to him because his skin is light? Because that’s the fucking problem.

Yonce all up on my sofa like a pillow. Yup, I made this.

I made eye patches for me and my first mate!

Figure 1. The silent bird of judgement.

I wasn't a fat kid, but my mother once tried to buy my forgiveness with a Big Beef Taco from Taco Bell. So, yeah, I've always been awesome.

Today I almost prayed for the strength to not buy chocolate chip cookies, but then I realized that would be wrong because I don't actually want that.

Put a dead bird on it!
