"In The Intuitionist, a joke is a way of laying claim to the multiplicity of a vexed social reality in flux, a way of saying that the world we live in is not inevitable and, so, is vulnerable to change." @jussssjokes bit.ly/2STf7kl

"Satire is hard. As a genre that hinges on the hazy boundary between the literal and the figurative, it is vulnerable to distortion and misunderstanding." Mari N. Crabtree bit.ly/35M4UsG

"For today’s Millennial Black satirists, fatalism is not enough. They insist on moving beyond ambivalence, toward action. They name injustice toward its eradication." @ProfBManning bit.ly/2TS52o2

"[Issa] Rae brings these communities into one distinct place without erasing their difference through an awkward prose that unsettles and disrupts any attempt to fix or be familiar with Black girl awkwardness." @phdkey bit.ly/3gJpPmG

@mos_daf @phdkey @ProfBManning @jussssjokes "Jokes and the laughter they inspire open up a space for play, reimagining Black identity, and Black selfhood, and even Blackness itself where stereotypes and preconceptions can be usurped, rebutted, reappropriated, or exploded." @mos_daf bit.ly/3vNaVjq
