mamas’ got a brand new website because … just so much time on my hands!

Hey y’all,

I wanted to send a quick message thanking you for all of your overwhelming support and love for this blog and for my brand new podcast, “the family we choose” (available on iTunes, Spotify, and all other major listening platforms).

I did want to take a moment and rebrand just a bit because … growth. So I decided to incorporate the house husband chronicles into a brand new website called trendydiplomat.com.

Many of you have marveled at my seeming industriousness, however, I want to be crystal clear that I DO NOT subscribe to the notion that we should somehow be more productive because Ms. Rona got (some of us) stuck in the house.

In fact, I want to preach the gospel of “its okay to binge Netflix for 30 days!” Believe me, I’ve been there. I’m there … literally … right now watching Netflix.

For those of us who are actually abiding by social distancing measures or who are actually under some form of a legally binding curfew, Ms. Rona has very taken a toll on us and our mental health (see chronicle number 47). Everyone responds to a crisis differently … and just because this one is a slow burn does not make it any less of a crisis. Whatever you do, please remember that your feelings are valid and that there is help for those who need it!

Now, I need to address my neighbors. I don’t know any of you personally, but your privilege is on full display for the world on this here Sunday afternoon. You all have the audacity to be skipping and frolicking like extras in a yuppie remake of a midsummer nights dream.

I have tried to be nice and I’ve tried to be funny. This time, I’m going to try brutal honesty. Ms. Rona literally does not care who you are. She is coming for you. That stealthy heffa is coming for blood and the only way to stop her is if we all buckle down and stay at home. Wash your hands with running water and soap for 20 seconds (because I’ve seen you and I know you don’t) and keep at least one Joe Exotic-sized tiger between you and anyone else if you’re outside.

For the culture!

Yours always,

the trendy one
