“According to Audre Lorde, when she finally began to speak at five years old, she only spoke in poetry.” Alexis Pauline Gumbs, @alexispauline.bsky.social, reads from her book, Survival is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde, at the New York Public Library in September 2024. 📚💙

My Juneteenth wish is the audacity of a teenage Audre Lorde blooming in your heart!💜🌺💜🌺 Join me for a solstice reset writing workshop at 6:30 pm eastern!💜 if you can’t make it live, everyone who signs up will get the recording!💜 sangodare.podia.com/wild-hope-a-...

See you tomorrow loved ones!!!!💜💜💜💜

Does anyone know of a long-term residential arts community in the US with care services for elders/chronically ill folks? I’m researching for a loved one. Thank you in advance.💜

This is an ID photo of Audre Lorde in Mexico where she fled as a student in response to McCarthyist repression. This solstice we are drawing on the student activist Audre, the surveilled suspended protesting sci-fi reading Audre who believed in other worlds and another version of this one.

Like many of you, I was furious to see a transphobic rich white person use a quote from Audre’s Lorde’s “A Litany for Survival” to justify her hateful and harmful attacks against trans women. I don’t play about my beloved community and I know you don’t either.

When Audre Lorde was a teenager she was terrified of nuclear war, hungrily reading as much science-fiction as she could find and writing poetry that imagined not only other worlds but other forms of living. sangodare.podia.com/wild-hope-a-...

It’s been a while since I have offered an online reflective writing workshop. But for our solstice intention setting I feel like we need the brazenness of a teenage Lorde. sangodare.podia.com/wild-hope-a-...

Happy official pub day to this scholarly interview I did on Audre Lorde, with the amazing Alexis Pauline Gumbs. I put a lot of work into it, including adding explanatory footnotes. And Alexis is amazing as always. It's open access in Hypatia. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

“The water in us has perfect memory,” wrote Alexis Pauline Gumbs in our Floods issue last summer. Water, she writes, is both an ancestor and a mirror. On floods, both literal and metaphorical, and what to learn from rising water.

“Water is an ancestor and a mirror” - the ever radiant and alchemical writing of @alexispauline.bsky.social in @orionmagazine.bsky.social.

In honour of this year’s Pride Month, we’ve compiled this list of powerful quotes by six queer black women way-pavers in literature, including ‪‪@scryptkeeper.bsky.social‬‬ and @alexispauline.bsky.social. View the full blog post at saartjiejournal.org/blog. #pride

It it was sweet to reflect with my brave and brilliant co-editors @maiawilliamsxoxo and @chinabodina about how care shaped and reshaped us in the making of Revolutionary Mothering which is about to celebrate its first decade! @blackearthinst.bsky.social aboutplacejournal.org/issues/caref...

120. SURVIVAL IS A PROMISE by @alexispauline.bsky.social. I think Alexis invented the braided biography? Or somehow otherwise redefined what biographies can do, here, with this incredible boundary-breaking bio of Audre Lorde. As befits such a boundary-breaking subject.

No Cop City, No Cop World is officially out today :) it was a massive collective effort, not to give a definitive account of a movement that could never be fully captured in a book, but to document tactics tried, lessons learned, & successes & failures. Order supports @workshops4gaza.bsky.social:

“I only learned, last year, that I can stop whatever violence starts with me. I only learned, last year, that love is infinitely more interesting, and more exciting, and more powerful, than really winning or really losing a fight… -June Jordan in 1992

Some revolutionary mothers’ day history from @alexispauline.bsky.social Black motherhood has always been resistance to criminalization. Where, and on whose behalf, should we be sending 10,000 Mother’s Day missives to demand liberation? “Forget Hallmark. Have a revolutionary Mother’s Day people.”

Tonight North Carolina Fam!!!!💜💜💜
