Part of why we are where we are is that few people on any point of the political spectrum actually take racism seriously.

Reading and writing at Fifth Coffee House in Five Points Denver. Just finished this book about The BPP. Now I'm writing some stories with this sick fountain pen @drsandyho.bsky.social got me for our anniversary.

Wow! Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore was sooooo good! Highly recommend. Thanks to Sie FilmCenter #Denver Excited that me and some of the CDHS CDDHHDB team could attend. #Deaf #ASL

Michael and I celebrate everything with buying books and supporting local BIPOC- or Queer-owned businesses. #WhenNerdsBeInLove @skillzilla81.bsky.social and my love language is reading… 🤓

I discovered this video explaining gerrymandering using UNC v Duke and I’m thinking about making it my email sig. cardinalpine.com/2024/01/15/v...

On this day in 1961, a white mob terrorized 1,000 Black residents supporting civil rights inside Montgomery's First Baptist Church.

WAKE UP AIR THROW? The composure from MenaRD! twitch.tv/evo | #EvoJapan2025

Hi, Grace from “Sinners” is not an embodiment of East Asian anti-Blackness, her character is not a symbol, this movie is allegorical but it is not an allegory. As I said before that is a really boring and reductive way to read a really richly told story.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

It’s a miracle any non-white, non straight, non-citizen person in America is getting any work done right now— —While the regime is actively trying to purge us from government, workplaces, universities from its websites, and from society in general.

I've been waiting for this one from the second I heard the music. #SouthofMidnight

The pettiest of stickers! Thanks Sarah! @skillzilla81.bsky.social and I love them!

Picked up so really cool #Naruto & #Sasuke figures from Rainy Day Anime in Colorado Springs! I think @skillzilla81.bsky.social will try to take one… 😘

The cats love @skillzilla81.bsky.social so much. 😻 Maybe too much? 🤔

I really love these Harlem Candle journals. They're gorgeous. I have to force myself to write in them.

“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.” ― Toni Morrison

It's not extra, it's exactly what I need. :)

ALL of the Democratic censure votes for Rep. Green came from outside the traditional South. Tell me again about the "color" of your state.

I've written and rewritten this post so many times over the last 24 hours because it's hard to capture the profound impact @joyannreid.bsky.social has had on journalism, broadcast media, and our collective consciousness. 🧵

For Valentine’s Day 2025 I got @skillzilla81.bsky.social some books from The Shop a MATTER in #Denver because we support #BlackOwnedBusinesses all the time and especially for Black History Month!

“Today, DEI has become the new N-word; the new rightwing abstraction deployed by Republicans to conceal their anti-Black racism.” My latest for the Guardian, in which I cite Lee Atwater, and bring lots of receipts. Sorry, but it has to be said:

Kendrick Lamar just rapped a set without saying an explicit lyric and we got white people out here asking how is it possible to avoid saying the n-word when they sing along to their favorite rap songs.

Legit looks like he got took over by the demon from Smile.

It was at this moment that I knew I loved Frey.

In case anyone who is non-Black is wondering, this sense of hopelessness with the law is an Ongoing African American Feeling™️ On this first day of Black History Month, unfortunately I have to introduce my White allies to this emotion. This is how Black folks have felt since the 16th century.

Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

Your institution isn't "complying in advance." Your institution is letting its hair down.

Student asked me today, "How many cardigans do you own?" I said, "One, two, three, four, five, plus, five." A single student said, "Ayy!" I laughed, they laughed. We're now bonded forever.

Michael has loved Chad and Joe for most of his teenage years and all of his adult so far… When they can get together, they’re just so them… #BestFriends #OldGamers

Just finished my 52nd book of the year. Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones. Fantastic. Gonna try for 60 in 2025.

A friend of mine is doing this poetry postcard project, and so I’m writing a bunch of poems to people I’ve never met. I’ve decided now is a great time to try and learn how to write sonnets in the style of Terrence Hayes. So, I’m sorry to everybody who gets these terrible Sonnets, basically.

It’s a very Magneto Christmas.

See an old cartoon, quote it with another.

MARVEL VS CAPCOM INFINITE & BEYOND Thank you for allowing me to create this piece for y'all! so damn HYPEE

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.
