southerncultures.org/article/i-saw-… A little early birthday present me to y'all. Happy to share my new article on @solangeknowles and Black brilliance that is When I Get Home. Grateful to @SCquarterly and to @profblmkelley and Rhon Manigault-Bryant for their vision and loving edits.

Writing a book so goddamn hard. How did Toni Morrison do it

@TLoveSpeaksss While also still calling her a perpetual liar. He ain’t slick

Joe had sense today. I commend him honestly lol

@rrandolphjr Very much this. Makes me think of her Nobel Lecture.

First and foremost, Morrison is a trickster…

I want his ACL on my desk by monday.

Come outside Klay. We just wanna talk.

"Inside the Body of Black Feminism" by @samanthanpinto connects historical studies of medical racism with Black feminist theories of the body to imagine possibilities for political subjectivity across race, gender, and culture. Read the intro for free now: bit.ly/3QYTZ9P

The mother of missing 16 year old Aysia Banks: "I am gonna be full transparent and share everything surrounding the disappearance of my daughter , because CMPD is playing it like a runaway case and it’s being taking lightly. For those wanting answers … here are the answers. I know it’s a lot but I need you all to read and please share. I am speaking out to bring urgent attention to the disappearance of my daughter, Aysia, and to express my grave concern regarding the current handling of her case. CMPD is currently classifying this as a runaway; however, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance strongly suggest she is in danger and may have been groomed or manipulated. HERE ARE THE FACTs: • Last Seen: Tuesday night ( April 14th -early morning of April 15th) • I was working a night shift (7 p.m. – 7 a.m.). My 9-year-old son reported that Aysia left with a bag during the night. • When I arrived home, all of Aysia’s known electronics were left behind. Her phone enters automatic "Downtime" at 11 p.m., restricting her communication to parents only. Her other parent is currently out of the country. • Because she left her devices behind, I believe she was either using a secondary device I was unaware of to communicate with someone, or arrangements were made prior to 11 p.m. Aysia is 16 years old and has no history of running away or behavioral issues. She is a dedicated Honors Student and a member of the National Honors Society. She values her education and would never willingly miss school or abandon her younger brother in this manner. And none of her close friends has any answers or any clue about her disappearance. Between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., a 16-year-old girl is extremely vulnerable. Whether she was lured away willingly or forced, she is a minor alone in the middle of the night. I believe she has been targeted and groomed. Something is wrong. My daughter is not a "troubled child” she is a child who is missing, and someone else is involved. I am asking for the community’s help and for law enforcement to treat this with the severity it deserves.

Truly can't take another day of horrible takes on Black Marxism. ENOUGH. Y'all don't read widely or well enough for this.

Lemme get a "hell yeah"

JOYCE. EDWARDS. With her sixth point of the night, she officially moves to the No.1 spot for most points in a single season 🤙

@brandybeephd Agreed! Also can’t deny that as a show/production they are moving funny with who is positioned as a face of the show/promoted/ and the funny business around Dr. Collins exit is bleeding into this reaction.

I don’t know y’all…we can’t be too precious about actors exiting (or entering!) a series like The Pitt that is partly about the precarious and flexible nature of the medical profession, which is also structured as one day per season! Like maybe we have to detach *just* a little!

"who's pussy is this" well after I make my 6 payments with a 29.99% APR to Affirm, it will be mine.

@rrandolphjr What in the surveillance

It’s amazing what you’ll find when you start digging around university archives.

Can’t I love what I criticize? —Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon, 1977

@TLoveSpeaksss Hell yea! Congrats sis!!!

got promoted today can't wait to share the news eventually 🎉🎉

@dr_kunda_kentay You are so worthy! Can’t wait to celebrate you 🖤

My birthday and bridal shower are this weekend and I feel so anxious. Like why do I feel guilty for wanting to celebrate myself? Why do I feel guilty for asking my friends and family to celebrate me? Why do I feel like I'm not worth celebrating?

Very fair and important critique.

Perfect opportunity to highlight Miles’s mother, Timiney Figueroa, who is a talented singer in her own right and sang with Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir. #Oscars
