President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also aligning himself with those who are brandishing the term DEI as a catchall for discrimination against white people, and using it as a pejorative to attack nonwhite and female leaders as unqualified for their positions.

You know that I’ve been working to assemble my list of trusted media sources. Perhaps Wired is one.

What media outlets and journalists do you consider reliable sources of information?

I just discovered commonplace books and I am obsessed. Anyone else do this? www.nytimes.com/2022/03/22/m...

I wrote this eight years ago. Being an ally requires action. Many folks who claim to support marginalized people emphatically do not. www.thecut.com/2017/01/the-...

Do not ask that women of color choose one of our identities to fight for first. Freedom is wholeness. We get to be our whole selves. Our whole selves deserve to be free.

I attended a performance by poet Tasha Jones. At a point in the show she stands in front of a screen baring the names of 100 murdered Black people. Trayvon. Tamir. Breana. The Emmanuel nine. It is a gut punch realizing how quickly America grew bored of pretending to care about racism or Black death.

I ditched X and TikTok. My gut tells me to divest from Meta, too. How do I keep connections with amazing people that I cannot interact with in person regularly? As an author, what do book promotion and a writer's platform look like w/out supportive mainstream media and post-Twitter, IG, and TikTok?

On this dark day it's crucial to follow #feminist journalists, activists, scholars, artists, and comics who help us understand our structural problems and offer solutions--roadmaps toward freedom, justice. @veronicaeye.bsky.social & I have you covered! We've worked with or vouch for all #writers 👇

I am not shocked, just angry that we still have to deal with this. www.inc.com/jessica-stil...

Another gift guide! Cool to see my latest book in the IBJ Executive Holiday Gift Guide. Same offer as yesterday: If you snag a copy of any of my books for your friends in the C-Suite, I’m happy to sign them (local) or mail a bookplate. www.ibj.com/executive-gi...

I am so honored to be included in the Mirror Indy 2024 Gift Guide. If you decide to grab a copy of A Black Woman's Guide to Getting Free as a gift, I'm happy to sign it (locally) or send you a bookplate. mirrorindy.org/holiday-gift...

I'm terrified by the rise of organized disinformation. Increasingly, it feels like most public communication is less about informing and engaging and more about inciting, inflaming and manipulating. What does it look like to reject this? What do we avoid? What do we support?

Excited to hold my contributor copy in my hands!! Many thanks to Rebecca Carroll for inviting me to contribute an introduction to Nikki Giovanni’s work and connect it with 🔭 Grab a copy from @haymarketbooks.org: www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2445-i... 📚💙

This is why God created journalists. www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

My latest book is a practical guide for Black women to unshackle their authentic selves from expectations and stereotypes embedded in American culture. Through feminist analysis, sister wit and yogic philosophy, the book offers guidance on how to choose liberation and sustain freedom.

I followed this pack though these people are wrong about the Oxford comma, which I am adamantly against. I just miss the good old days of social media when I could have genteel skirmishes over punctuation with other writers vs. soul-crushing fights about my bodily autonomy with bad-faith trolls.

Once again, people are making political pronouncements about the Midwest as if Black folks don't live here. We do. www.nytimes.com/2018/06/16/o...

I could not be prouder of my girl, Lisa Butler—for her brilliance, her creativity and her unflinching advocacy for Black women and her community. You need to show up for this! Congratulations, my friend, on your directorial debut!

Between my second book in 2021 and my third, released this summer, Twitter went all to hell. Definitely not the place to talk about Black women (or any marginalized group) and freedom. I'll be dropping some stuff here. Get A Black Woman's Guide to Getting Free at your fave bookstore.

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this: Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Taking @sjjphd.bsky.social challenge…

Somebody, please resuscitate The Fourth Estate. According to this Pew study, a fifth of Americans especially those under 30, are regularly getting their news from conservative male influencers, who are not connected with mainstream news providers, on X.

Love this! I'd also suggest a few OG feminist, anti-racist bloggers: @veronicaeye.bsky.social @profcrunk.bsky.social @beyerstein.bsky.social @aboynamedart.bsky.social @tamuralomax.bsky.social @twinfreyharris.bsky.social ...and I created WIMN's Voices, the first feminist media criticism group blog)

When @jennpozner.bsky.social talks about reality TV, folks need to listen. Reality Bites Back is the best book to understand the manipulation and toxic nature of "guilty pleasure TV."

Kudos to the Jeannette Rankin Foundation for making pathways for women and non-binary students over age 35 to gain post-secondary education. Barrier buster (non-tuition) dollars are hard to come by. Apply! rankinfoundation.org/national-sch...
