Antiracist Accountability Post: Comedy x Olympics Mashup

Happy Sunday friends!

Recent events have created a happy opportunity for a transaction between past antiracist accountability posts, leading to today's mashup!

One of the comics I highlighted in last month's accountability post, Erin Jackson, has a great bit on her album "Grudgery" (2018) about googling her own name to ensure that she is in good standing among the Erin Jacksons of the world.  She has historically been reassured that other newsworthy Erin Jacksons are no threat to her comparative success, until a rival Erin Jackson apparently discovered she was good at speed skating.

The bit is super entertaining, as Jackson's album-titling grudginess is in full effect.  You can listen to it here:

And here's where last month's post transacts with last year's post about the Olympics, putting this sporting event at least for a moment in a more positive light than the subject of my previous post: 

Perhaps to Ms. Jackson's chagrin, the latter Ms. Jackson had a pretty busy day at the Olympics a few days ago, becoming the first Black woman to win an individual gold medal at the Winter Olympics, as well as the first American woman to win a gold medal in speed skating since 1994.

Yay!

For all her typical saltiness, the former Ms. Jackson appears to be taking it well.

A hearty congratulations to both Erin Jacksons, the one for an extremely impressive accomplishment on the world stage, and the other for a whole bunch of new content to turn into comedy gold.
