I don’t have to embrace anything that means me and us harm.

Framing of Black and Latinx School Closure in Redeveloping Hartford, Connecticut. Berkeley Review of Education, 13(1). dx.doi.org/10.5070/B813...

Gift link to the article quoting folks lying about shutting down student speech over alleged "DEI" concerns. This is just racist, sexist censorship and unlawful viewpoint discrimination.

One of the frustrating trends in our current moment is folks lying to our faces about what they are doing — in this case, stifling student speech by gutting publications—and claiming otherwise. It's insulting. As @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social keeps saying, there should be sanctions for public lying.

This is a brag from the family group chat. My brother’s art peice protesting the so-called Alligator Alcatraz is showing in Miami. www.axios.com/local/miami/...

Are we nurturing a person’s capacity to express their truth or gently steering them toward an institutional ideal of what normal speech/language/communication should be? 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿 www.routledge.com/White-System...

Because at the end of the day so many are only pseudo-outraged and their concerns on media/social media follow the herd. Many are more interested in likes/engagement than their values. We saw this in 2020 and it’s even more glaring now. Also it’s capitalism 101: villain to victor trajectories.

The question is not if, but it’s how ill are these chemicals going to make us, our disabled and immunocompromised folks, our elderly, our children in the womb, and our future children? This is critical information we need to know right now.

Rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏾🕊️

The DoE has reclassified numerous health professional and other degrees, limiting access to federal student loan programs eligible for the higher OBBBA loan caps from thousands to a few hundred. As ALWAYS, this is about $$. We're about to become REALLY "great"... shorturl.fm/xs7gY

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

Yes I notice when someone didn’t bring up disability at all when they were arguing for their bad technology idea but then bring it up when all the other arguments aren’t working Disabled people aren’t a vehicle for scoring rhetorical points 🙃

America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Not over the fact that they called their shot, followed through, and people I'm supposed to believe are "objective" and "trustworthy" still joined in the fun of attacking a Black woman

Anthony Hamilton began his career as one of D'Angelo's backup singers. 🕊️💔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q5G...

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

The yr I turned 51, I almost lost my mind. My father had dropped dead on the sidewalk from a massive brain hemorrhage when he was 51 & I was convinced that such would be my fate. I have blessedly lived two decades & three years since then, and my ❤️ breaks that D’Angelo is gone, too soon, at 51. RIP

The entire piece is worth a read. "The evidence suggests that compromising on basic humanity doesn’t broaden coalitions; it hollows them out. The work now is to find ways to expand our reach without abandoning our foundation—to bridge gaps, yes, but never at the expense of our neighbor’s humanity."

I told someone yesterday that we need to be intentional about logging off social media the same way our elders had to log off the news. Because while you are informed, it will poison us with lies, bring us down, or distract us. And we don’t have time or space for these things.

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matthew 24:36. Because some of us actually *read* the Bible.)

This wasn’t overnight. The disparaging, ableist, and inaccurate remarks about autism and the quality of life of autistic people were made last spring. Noted: they said they were working on something. But people are so ableist, they will believe pseudoscience over facts.

Yes, you went through all of that but you're still worthy. Save this and read it later.

The damaging effects of experiencing or witnessing domestic violence reverberate in multiple directions, often passing down from generation to generation. Domestic abuse cannot be explained away as a “little fight.” Everyday this man telegraphs to the world just how vile and disgusting he is.

This is sexual harassment. This is racist harassment. And they feel so emboldened to harass simply for the qualification of being committed to white supremacy and patriarchy.

Everything is working according to plan.

Taking walks with people I love and before you know it we’ve met the sunrise, sunset, or simply felt the gentle reminder of what Love truly is. ☀️

Saw my beautiful sister last year at a convening and I left her with the book I was reading on the plane. I told her what a joy it is to read books, not work-related, not self-help, just pure love of stories. She couldn’t put it down. And what did she send me today? The sequel! I can’t wait! 💛💐💝🙏🏾

The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.
