@Kisnomer Put a pillow on your tummy

Sleeping on my back makes me feel like a short lance thrown by the world is meters away from my chest

join @ThrivanceGroup at the #UnUrbanistAssembly tomorrow! @ComradeRah and I are talking about a comprehensive package for reparations through urbanism at 4:30 PM EDT on @clubhouse, come through 😎😛 clubhouse.com/event/m3GAG801

What are some things you wish you knew before walking into your first day of grad school? I see all of these acceptance letters and hope we can make a thread that can situate some of these expectations in reality.

@carolinetanbee @Collab_NewHaven @CTDECD @cfgnh @REXDevelopment @GinnyKozlowski Wow this video is delightful

Honored to share that we have been featured as Connecticut Change Makers in the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development initiative called CT For Me. View the full video featuring our visit to two star @Collab_NewHaven graduates here: ctforme.com/post/103/marga…

Oriental Pantry is a beloved, small Korean family restaurant located in New Haven, run by Ms. Yoonock Kim. This weekend, the restaurant was robbed. Luckily, Ms. Kim was not at the store at the time of the break-in. Support Ms. Kim: gofundme.com/f/help-orienta… 🌺🇰🇷💔

@bananalise Beautiful

@bananalise And?? Who are they??

"Unurbanist Assembly is an annual virtual 23-hour teach-in, confronting the legacy of racism in urban planning." This feels like an event worth attending for anyone interested in systems work at the local, regional or state level. Go check it out!

Cool book alert! "Jovan Scott Lewis takes seriously scammers’ attempts to redress colonial brutality by using scams—in their contradictory glory—as a means of laying claim to reparation."

This project at UIC is blowing my mind. So exciting to see an academic institution facilitating this kind of radical imagining around PIC abolition, economic democracy and climate justice. Strongly suggest following @BarbaraRansby and @staceyannsutton

@ananyaUCLA This is a really useful rec as someone who is just about to start planning grad school. Adding to my reading list now!

What is core curriculum? What is pre-requisite knowledge? In urban planning, our incoming grad students complete a summer math camp. Math is fine, but if I had my way, they would all be reading Black Reconstruction as prep for a grad education in planning.

I'd just like to note that @NYCHousing has a job listing titled "Zombies Fellow". It actually looks kind of amazing.

Please join me for a very cool talk next Wednesday, Feb 24 at Kean University on Marginalized Spaces! I will talk about my book and how inequality is inscribed (and dismantled) through the built environment! Zoom link in the flier and the alt text of the image.

CT also has a catalog of products made with prison labor. The state website describes it as "voluntary inmate participation" designed to "reduce prison idleness, instill work ethic, and promote skill development." Right on the state website. portal.ct.gov/DOC/Enterprise…

Attention 🚨 Connecticut residents: the redistricting (aka gerrymandering/redlining) process is THIS year. New district maps will be drawn by September. The maps will be in place for another TEN YEARS. We need to provide oversight and make this opaque process transparent!

Big things, small things.

@prisonculture I've been prepping for grad school and feeling stressed about going back into seminar-style discussions. The idea that I could apply the same prompts and skills I use in my current facilitation work is 🤯

@carolinetanbee This is TOO GOOD

My Dad has been scanning all these negatives from when we were young + emailing us some of them. Here’s me and Mom ♥️

@Maxwell_Dev @Maxwell_Dev SUPER informative - highly recommend

@john_shively That's been on my book waitlist for way too long. Let me know what you think of it!

I'm a slow reader, and trying to make it through an entire text can feel challenging for a lot of reasons. Proud of myself today for continuing to work through A People's History. Only 1/3 through, but now feels like one of many good times to celebrate 📖
