Awful. A teenager, dead by suicide in an ICE detention center. There is now a crisis of suicide inside the detention system; I have never seen anything like it. Suicide has happened before, but they were very rare. This is the third or fourth this year.

A lot going on in the world right now but please give what you can to this GoFundMe to support my colleague, co-author and friend Achol who is helping her family stranded in Egypt. Please share with your networks 🙏🏾 www.gofundme.com/f/a-family-i...

I just finished Anti-Colonial Research Praxis. I’m going to recommend it to my PhD supervisees, who often think they have to confirm their praxis-based, anti-racist research to narrow disciplinary norms. You and your colleagues open up so many other possibilities!

"The idea that art is political isn’t a deformation of art. It’s a fulfilment of it," I said. A profile on the cost of speaking out, although I stress how much more this costs other writers. But there are also benefits to speaking out--a clear conscience, happiness and joy, new allies and friends.

“When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.” — George Orwell

This year, I've spent a bit of time reflecting on what success means in the context of the world we live in, when so much of it is heartbreaking 💔 This poem resonates and is a good reminder of what really matters - it keeps me grounded.
