Is there a legitimate way to find out how many titles written by Black and brown authors there are in stock at the library @OBAmsterdam? How often is it updated? Is there a list that’s available to the public?

@__kingFrannyy I said the same!!! Handheld cameras were definitely a thing in 2000.

@lmckr 8th grade. Principal (white woman) was skipping down the hall, overjoyed. One teacher got his socks rocked bc he let his slip show and another 8th grader punched him dead in the face lol

It was freshman year of HS and our school decided to play it on the big screen in the auditorium. When they said not guilty, I jumped out of my seat, and my chain wallet got stuck, and tore my pants. A handful of us were super happy, and others, not so much. lol

Where were you when you heard the OJ Verdict?

For Literary Liberation, a new column, ‘EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, WRITE’ by Linda González shows us that we’re writing, even when we think we’re not. 🔹First essay is free 🔹Subscribe to read the series literaryliberation.substack.com/p/everything-e…

They are all old only bc I don’t take very many selfies, but these always do the job. First one is me modeling jewelry I used to make a thousand years ago. Last one is me selling my jewelry back home.

@KristyT Happy belated, Kristy!! ❤️❤️❤️

This might be my most "important" birthday. I am just so eternally grateful to see this day.

I am so, so grateful to be a recipient of the 2024 American Mosaic Journalism Prize. essence.com/news/black-wom…

All those pandemic meetings were only about power and nothing else. Management feeling out of control because their job has always been about pestering coworkers. The way people need to feel in charge is frightening.

Personal new year, a new hobby, new newsletter format, new experiences. All new, all the time. Happy 42 to me. 🫶🏾 read A Home Within Myself sherisa.substack.com/p/what-do-you-…

@blktinabelcher @katherine Happy birthday!!!

Today, I’m officially the queen for the day. I’m 30 🥰🥹 I can’t believe that I made it to 30! How wonderful and lucky am I. My 20s were better than I thought that they would be, especially with opening a bookstore in the final corner. It’s been good! Venmo: @katherine-morgan-15

“My memoir is a love song for working-class, low-income immigrant women… I really wanted to spotlight her life and what I’ve learned from her. Her story is also my story. I also wanted to write a memoir that played with form – echoing migration itself.” raisingmothers.com/ten-questions-…
