With all that is happening in the world, and that I know I am purposed to do as a writer, I am taking @MichaelaCoel advice from her Emmy speech. I have disappeared, but I am not gone. I will see you after the silence speaks. - TAP

I'm back home from @FuriousFlowerPC brimming with love and imagination, astounded by what Black poetry has made possible and can help make possible still. A free Palestine *is* possible. A free Congo *is* possible. A free Sudan *is* possible. We have worlds to make real.

URGENT: @USAmbUN, the decision to cut humanitarian funding to @UNRWA is causing immense suffering among Palestinian refugees and exacerbating the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Reinstate UNRWA funding and call for a PERMANENT CEASEFIRE now! #FundUNRWA

I love how he use the word, the one she claims to know in his argument! Sadly they still won’t get it. Y’all think we judging you but it’s by the measure you are judging is what’s happening! And she claim to want to help the students but didn’t want to ask the parents for permission to do it. Where do these women get the audacity? You can’t control our kids!! Please everyone repost this!!

I am watching an old season of Top Chef. Does anyone do work on reality TV cooking competitions and nationalism?

soooo we made our way all the way to new jersey for my cousin’s funeral and right when we get to the viewing, we immediately have to leave to go to the ER because… my dad apparently had a stroke. will be spending the night before the funeral at the ER with my mom.

my cousin died today and beyond the grief and heartache i feel for him and his family, all i could think today was, i’m not living the life I really want to live and that needs to stop now.

Full academic boycott of Israel for the destruction of Palestinian universities, including in this video, the bombing of the University of Palestine. All academics, worldwide, must condemn this and join the boycott of Israeli cultural institutions. #BDS
Nicola Perugini@PeruginiNic

The Israeli military just blew up the University of Palestine in Gaza City with 315 mines. All the universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. We need a full academic boycott.

Israeli bulldozers are intentionally destroying cemeteries in Gaza and exhuming dead bodies as a result. I don’t even have a word for what kind of mind is behind the intentional desecration of the dead. This is not about your safety. This is about your indoctrinated hatred.

@brendanetynes I actually really like serving on search committees because I get to honor the new folks coming into the space by reading their materials thoroughly. The materials prepared like this really resonate differently. Please do this.

one thing that I am proud of myself for doing is clearly and boldly stating where I'm coming from and what kind of work I intend to do in my job materials, rather than trying to guess what makes me suitable for that department's culture. rejections sit more sweetly with me now
