Thanksgiving was last week, and despite clear guidelines sent down from the CDC that specified reducing travel, wearing a mask, and avoiding large gatherings, many people simply could not be bothered with keeping others safe during the ongoing covid-19 global health pandemic. And one of those people was Cardi B.

According to her Twitter feed, Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar had 37 people over for the holiday—“12 kids and 25 adults... it was lit !!”—and then quickly followed up with an apology. “Sorry my bad wasn’t trying to make nobody feel bad.I just had my family in my home for the first time and it felt so good & uplifted me .I spent soo much money getting every1 tested but it felt worth it.I wasnt trying to offend no1,” she wrote, adding, “ME specially and everyone that works around me get tested literally 4 times a week. Im In the middle of work and Everytime we clock in we MUST GET TESTED !” Of course, the issue there is that it can take days after coming in contact with someone who has the virus to register a covid-19 positive result, and tests themselves are not foolproof. Someone in attendance could’ve very well been positive at the massive event.

But hey, at least she didn’t pull a Kim Kardashian-West and fly all her guests to a private island as we laypeople enjoyed our TV dinners in isolating silence?

This ain’t it, and I’m super not looking forward to celebrities’ holiday plans!

Atlanta resident Sterling Davis was on a break from a rap tour when he applied for a job at the county shelter scooping kitty litter. He just wanted to stay busy and make a little money. Plus, he’s always loved animals, like his cat at the time, Rick James.

“I did horrible in the interview because they had cats in the room and I was playing with all the cats, kissing all the cats,” he told TODAY.

Even though he didn’t really answer any of the questions because he was distracted by the friendly felines, he got the job because, as the person who hired him said, “We’re not seeing people like you with cats.”

Davis, 40, started helping shelter employees with trap-neuter-return cases. The team would trap community cats (formerly called “feral”), bring them to the shelter to be vaccinated and spayed or neutered, and then return them to their outdoor realm.

While Davis learned about TNR, he came to another realization.

When a white Southern reactionary equates a landmark Black church to “the bed of Hell,” that vividly shows how little, over the years and centuries, the outlines of Southern politics have changed.

I couldn't have one without the other. I painted @JoeBiden because he stutters just like me. He showed me that speaking slowly kinda masks a stutter.@KamalaHarris@JoeBiden
