The rainiest & most glorious afternoon with @dominiquejl.bsky.social on a Jane’s Walk led by Mariame Kaba 🖤 @prisonculture.bsky.social Look up and look around, our city contains so many stories of brave New Yorkers past #slaveryaboliton

yes

Im simultaneously SOBBING and trolling the governor on Twitter. ALL. FOUR. AMENDMENTS failed tonight. Louisiana I am SO PROUD. Fuck Jeff Landry was the RESOUNDING message from the entire state

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Update in the case of Yunseo Chung, the green-card holder who the Trump admin is trying to deport for her protest activity: a few hours ago a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order barring ICE from arresting her. Thanks to @kyledcheney.bsky.social for posting this (accidentally).

Moving listen to @dominiquejl.bsky.social describe her curatorial and collaborative process for Trace/s on @allofitwnyc.bsky.social today www.wnyc.org/story/traces...

Tonight 🫶🏾 @bklynlibrary.bsky.social

DAMN, Freedom Dreams by Robin DG Kelley just SEARS, don’t it? I totally get why I was assigned it as an undergraduate student, but I am in SUCH a better position to sit with it now, almost twenty(!) years later.

was finally able to catch up on the recorded talks at the Belle da Costa Greene symposium at the Morgan held in late October. *wonderful* papers by @petrinajackson.bsky.social, @grubstreetwomen.bsky.social, @dominiquejl.bsky.social and others. watch here: www.themorgan.org/videos/sympo... 📜

I’ve gotten into a lovely routine of brewing up a mug of Teecino tea (a caffeine-free chicory-based coffee substitute) with oat milk and flavored coffee syrup (hot tip: add a sprinkle of salt) at night before bed. Highly recommend a cozy lil night latte.

We're doing something a little bit different over at the Center for Brooklyn History, on 12/5. Poet and activist Jonathan Walton will be on hand to discuss America's first published Black poet, Jupiter Hammon, and his legacy in faith and poetry today. Join us! www.bklynlibrary.org/calendar/cbh...

NO EXCEPTIONS.

One of my longest-running and most meaningdul scholarly communities is the History of Education Society, and I'm thrilled to have a review up in their latest quarterly journal, reviewing a very useful volume on teaching public history. Have a read! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Did this at the beginning of this year, won’t ever look back. Easy to migrate your data, and it’s better in every way! (I’m the same user name over there, btw)

Flinging a heartfelt thanks to the very nice strangers who helped me after absolutely bodyslamming myself onto the train platform running to catch the 4 train. I made the film screening! It was excellent! You were very nice to me! It was very embarrassing! Everything hurts!

BLACK MOVEMENT, ed by Jeff O.G. Ogbar. The first & most comprehensive study of African American urban migration since 1970, w a star-studded list of contributors. This will be required reading for history & so many other courses. Ask for a desk copy to see for yourself! uncpress.org/book/9781469...

My favorite Saturday trifecta: a book, a an early dinner, and sunset at Brookfield Place.

I wanted to try out a new perfume sample today, but decided to hold off bc I was seeing “Primary Trust” and didn’t want the scent to bother anyone… …and then the person next to me took out a Tupperware full of pungent home-cooked food and ate it throughout the play 🫠🫠🫠

Just FYI, Petee’s Pie is doing a seasonal guava mascarpone pie right now and it is one of the best things I’ve ever had.
