"I think what Morrison does in her work in that way is afford a kind of dignity to the Black voice and the inherent musicality that exists within the Black voice" lithub.com/namwali-serp...

I meant to mention that near Oaks Bottom Amusement Park a few days ago, I saw crows around a dumpster and like three of them in a row fly off with big pieces of pizza. It was a majestic sight.

A Date with Krampus (2025) - scorched caramel and dark cocoa nibs tangled with warm, skin-slick musk, a crack of black leather, a swirl of brandy, and the faint metallic scrape of chains. #SOTD #BPAL Mostly scorched caramel and cocoa nibs, which is delicious 💖

When she was 84, Toni Morrison was asked, “Do you feel more amused than angry now?” Morrison replied, “No, I’m angry all the time. Almost all the time, which is why I write books.” As she noted in her first book, “There is a sense of being in anger. A reality and presence. An awareness of worth.”

Like, ngl, I'm a fan of some of the stuff Leo has said and done, but his stance on trans and otherwise queer issues is pretty terrible. Like, the logic it takes to leave these out from this context is tortured, At Best.

The house, like the girl, is ravenous.

fund abortion. fund housing. fund teachers. fund long-term care. fund public health. fund public transit. fund mental health.

Omg yes we do and we say THANK YOU! Everybody go play:

Many thanks to @literaryhub.bsky.social for letting me go off on one of my favourite topics (and a question I am asked very often): why do we like the bad guys so much? Here's to all the fiction villains who did irrevocable damage to my brain during my formative years. lithub.com/villains-are...

There’s so much wrong with this article — factually, tonally, & in its framing — but the most disturbing to me is the unexamined use of “unity.” Who was white Christian America united AGAINST, Ron?

”No one is encouraging Black women to have more babies” AND I remember a time when there was a concern globally that Black women were having too many babies. The North remembers.

TIL all moose are deer 🫎

the question "why are you a poet?" seems to me much like the question "why are you gay?" as if i could explain. and even if i could, i wouldn't want to. i like thinking of poetry and queerness in a similar way—that which needs no explanation. all the most beautiful things don't.

1.5 WEEKS LEFT of Fundathon and KHJN has secured another match today! Help me reach my goal and quadruple your impact: fund.nnaf.org/fundraiser/7...

Works by Tunisian artist Ameni Abida, 2020s, who often combines traditional and digital techniques in her autobiographical compositions.

When talking about abortion, we need to make room for the full range of experiences. Assuming that 'abortion is inherently tragic' is stigmatizing, and only pushes people away.

"In one instance, protestors convinced a Latino man that clinic staff were undercover ICE agents preparing to detain and deport his partner while she was inside." From NAF's new report on anti-abortion violence and threats:

Really looking forward to moderating this discussion! Please join.

This story is so horrifying, and every single person who was in that courtroom and not trying to advocate for the person in labor participated in an atrocity. I appreciate everyone who turned out to rally today.

I made these papercuts to celebrate my little anti-AI zine racking up over 5,000 views since I wrote and published it in October 2024. #zine

We have to separate work from the author: books go in the paper bin and author in the organic waste bin.

This was incredibly cool! A member of the martian crew even chimed in afterwards via youtube comment 👀🐉

Incantation (Whisper Sisters) - dark amber, dragon's blood, black musk, patchouli, marshmallow, myrrh resin, benzoin resin, dragon's blood resin, patchouli leaf. #SOTD this is a very nicely balanced dragon's blood blend. if you are looking for the marshmallow tho, sorry! this one is darrrk 🐲

Mamdani, being good at social media and keeping your promises are two different things.

I've been writing these short essays about reading and writing a lot as I try to work out how I actually think about these two basic and yet incredibly complex acts; here I go again vajra.me/2026/05/15/t...

We deserve better than hokey pokey ass rights!! and we will still fund abortion! #Fundathon donations to @moabortionfund.bsky.social are matched today, please chip in or share:

You: please act normal you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me:

Today, the Supreme Court decided to allow mifepristone to remain available through the mail or from a pharmacy while a lawsuit (Louisiana v FDA) against the abortion medication plays out. We won today, but abortion funds are prepared for tomorrow! Read our full statement here: nnaf.org/12

Decades of gold-standard scientific evidence have overwhelmingly demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of medication abortion. Anti-abortion attacks on access to medication abortion are about politics and ideology, not health.

Reminder that I am soooo close to my $500 fundraising goal for KHJN! Abortion is completely banned in Kentucky, so Kentuckian abortion seekers depend on funds like KHJN to help them travel out of state: fund.nnaf.org/fundraiser/7...

We deserve better than hokey pokey ass rights!! and we will still fund abortion! #Fundathon donations to @moabortionfund.bsky.social are matched today, please chip in or share:

BREAKING (again, sorry) the order is in: The Fifth Circuit's ruling is again blocked. Mifepristone remains available via telehealth. Alito and Thomas dissent. Thomas' dissent mentions the Comstock Act, the 1873 anti vice law conservatives want to use to ban mailing abortion pills.

We're kicking off #FundAbortionFriday a day early this week, bc we have a match! Your $5, $10, and $20 donations add up to access every day, but today your impact is doubled! Please share and donate as you are able: 💜 fund.nnaf.org/FFFA 💜

🚨 The NYT appears to have taken a great feature story written by my colleague at Bolts about a west Tennessee county & the VRA, & essentially rewritten it. (Same frame, similar hed, overlapping sources.) Without a single mention, credit, let alone the a hyperlink buried somewhere.

Kudos to @markmaxwelltv.bsky.social for putting @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social on the spot about having taken NO ACTION yet to make a HUD Community Development Block Grant fund available to tornado victims. Bell's prevarication is notable. www.ksdk.com/article/news...

They are putting up barriers but we are funding access. Donate to @moabortionfund.bsky.social today: ↪️ fund.nnaf.org/FFFA #Fundathon

ACOG updated their standards a year ago! this just tells me you don’t keep up to date with practice standards!!
