Toilet paper is $27 for 36 rolls at Sam's Club. Send help.

"What looks like an inclusive gesture becomes a funnel that only a narrow, already advantaged group can pass through. Everyone else is marked as “too late,” even when their work and lives reflect the realities of systemic exclusion rather than personal failure." hyperallergic.com/1042641/when...

Well this is heartbreaking...the end of an era for sure, but hopefully good things are still on the horizon... roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/09/17/w...

Couples, talk to me about these uneven flight status relationships where y'all travel together but don't upgrade each other, cuz as a scorpio I don't understand.

I don't know how millennials have been allowed to spread this narrative that our party days aren't on the web. We were the first generation to get fired because of our party days being online. Also people were hiring decorators for their dorms then too. It's not new, but it may be a class thing.

Sleep will heal the world. When in doubt, go to bed.

Watching #LoveConRevenge Netflix, the formula seems to be love bombing, occupying time, asking for small amounts of money, moving in, the asks get larger, and then they back away and disappear. It's sad because not everyone gets justice. Also, my momma told me a real man don't need nothing from you.

It's been like four political assassinations and way too many school shootings in the U.S. this year and it's just September. This should be alarming to everyone. But more than alarming, it should be motivating. Assert your personhood and demand better.

This article should have been written 15 years ago, which is the fundamental problem with the state of theater criticism. www.broadwayworld.com/article/Miss...

Black people who believe their own people to be more violent than other people really grind my gears. There is a whole memorial in this country dedicated to THOUSANDS of our ancestors who were lynched by white terrorists. Yet propoganda about Black people is being used to erode democracy. It's wild.

Some of the most harmful pieces of propaganda is the lie that Black people are inherently violent. Most people who are victims of violent crime are victimized by people who look like them. This is true for all people, not just Black people. Crime stats orgs have found this to be true for decades.

When affirmative action was overturned, I knew it was time to leave higher education staff and I'm glad I did. My former employer just announced it would end its DEI programs. DEI was apart of my beat, which was campus and community engagement. president.emory.edu/communicatio...

This is wild

Brandy's career is really a testament to marketing genius, but the fact that we never had and Never Say Never perfume is something that perplexes me because it was just right there in the name.

I don't know what's more fascinating about #TheGildedAge, the costumes or the fact that these characters are based on actual tycoons, like the Carnegies and the Vanderbilts, and these families still have so much money and no one has been able to unseat them and slave labor led to most of it.

Culturally speaking, Americans spend entirely too much time, labor, and money fooling ourselves into thinking we're preventing things that rarely or never happen instead of addressing things that actually happen.

The number of people who used generative AI to write their cover letter to apply for an editing position is wild. Pro tip: When you all enter the same inputs you all get the same outputs. We don't have to run it through software to tell you didn't write it.

Chile it is barely 11am on the east coast and there has been a school shooting in Minneapolis where it is barely 10am. At this point, this country is in a state of emergency and everyone needs to go to bed. I am not making light. The people aren't sleeping and it shows. Our children need better.

This #JussieSmollett Netflix documentary should've never been made. It's a train wreck! Bring back taking Ls off camera for individuals and institutions. Nothing about that situation is funny and everyone is lying, but that old Black man detective is quotable af. And that lawyer is a bird. #Empire

Unfortunately if you really wanna know a thing you have to spend more than a minute and thirty seconds on TikTok.

Everyone needs to visit the Legacy Museum, Lynching Memorial, and Anarcha/Lucy/Betsey Memorial in Montgomery. As an arts & culture journalist, I have visited A LOT of museums. If you want to understand history and how we are where we are in terms of ideological division, take the trip to Alabama!

Having been to many #Smithsonian museums in my life, I can tell you that most of them have a lot of statues and paintings, but not a lot about slavery or race unless it's a special exhibit or small permanent installation. People are believing lies about places they've never been. Please touch grass.

I had the wonderful privilege of sitting in with Tanya and Jessica of the Girl. CALL ME podcast and chatting about finding joy, following your dreams, and doing what makes your heart sing. Listen now! open.spotify.com/episode/20Ga...

Attending an event for The Giving Gap aimed at closing the philanthropic funding gap for Black organizations. During Black Philanyhropy Month, 6 orgs will benefit from money in a pot they will split. The non profits include theater, visual art, financial literacy, and more. givinggap.org

I never watch #Surrounded because the premise is literally my worst nightmare. Having conversations with people who are ideologically different than me is fine. What's heartbreaking about the latest episode is that so much of the misinformation could be cured with a google search

Let's talk about Black lives. We have learned in the last 30 days that 500k Black women have been pushed out of the workforce since 2020. Today, a Black state rep in Texas is being held against threat of arrest if she leaves the chambers. Women protesting on her behalf have been arrested.

Tonight the American Theatre Critics/Journalists Association hosted a chat with critics across the country about how the press can amplify the stories of artists and institutions who are navigating attacks on the 1st Amendment, constricted programming, and funding cuts right now. #JournalismMatters

The AJC published an article saying that public universities will be required to post syllabi online for the public. As someone who worked in higher ed for 7 yrs, I can tell you most public and private universities have done this for decades. Comprehending a syllabus still requires intelligence.

I have no doubt that at least half of these unhoused men being harassed and arrested in Washington D.C. are veterans. We need a national labor strike and a national spending strike till further notice. This is mania.

Watching FIGHT NIGHT on Peacock on the plane was enjoyable

Thank you Heather Infantry, CEO of The Giving Gap, about the impact of cuts to federal #arts funding on Atlantans, opportunities to pivot, and the econmoc impact of the arts in Georgia. Listen to the conversation on City Lights Collective. #artsjournalism #journalism #ATL omny.fm/shows/city-l...

I've been on Martha's Vineyard the last five days. I love a New England town. Give me Block Island. Give me The Berkshires. Give me the Finger Lakes-- but only in the summer. I'm thankful for the time spent with friends and the people I met.

Flight is delayed and I'm glad I found the introverts section of this terminal. We're here saying nothing.

The active shooter incident at Emory U on Friday was next to the building where my office was when I worked there. This was the 2nd active shooter incident in the last 3 years. My prayers are with all. But also we really need to start regulating what happens on these apps that encourage extremism.

Kristen Johnston is one of the best sitcom actresses of our time. 3rd Rock from the Sun and now #Leanne on Netflix. I also hope the quality of Leanne indicates how Netflix will invest in sitcoms from now on because 16 episodes is unprecedented for them. I want others to get this level of budget.

Get off the platform and get on your life.

In #Atlanta theater we are so spoiled. We have THE WIZ at Aurora Theatre, SKELETON CREW at Impact Theatre, AIN'T NO MO at True Colors, and A STRANGE LOOP at Actor's Express all at the same time!!! #BlackTheater

I feel like an unusually high amount of performing arts workers have died at work over the last 18 months and the industry is not talking about enough.

One of these days I'm going to write my scathing essay about how so many jobs in the arts and and humanities are just people doing welfare for their incompetent, mediocre friends, but since we're trying to save the First Amendment, I'll chill.

QOTD: "When liberty is conditional, art has to insist. Visibility isn't granted-- it's claimed." -Amy Sherald

These are the times when people have to get really real and serious about what matters to them. Love who loves you back. Love who needs it and don't know it. It's not about institutions and scale anymore. It's about relationships. It's about alternative, creative ways of living and asserting joy.

This is a state of emergency for our community and also an opportunity for other people to stand in the gap. "more than 518,000 Black women haven’t returned to the labor force since the pandemic began" I encourage folks to look at the Dept. Of Labor numbers. www.msnbc.com/know-your-va...

Power, position, and place are three different things, and before the year 2030, Imma need everybody in the American theater to understand that.

Maybe it's b/c I was a teen in the 2000s, but the controversy around Sydney Sweeney/ American Eagle feels disingenuous to me. I thought that long ago we understood that all of the white teen brands-- Abercrombie & Fitch Hollister, Aero, Pacsun, etc.-- were selling whiteness. I don't get what's new.

The SAVE Plan is effectively gone and anyone enrolled in PSLF who works for an organization that the Fed doesn't ideologically agree with may not get their student loan forgiveness, but they wonder why people aren't making major life decisions regarding marriage, children, and homeownership. A mess.

A legitimate concern and why our conversation with students in the Goldring Arts Journalism program at Syracuse University is resonating with me still

Last night's Atlanta Dream game was a blast. It made me think about watching WNBA games with my dad as a little girl. I had a Cynthia Cooper poster on my bedroom wall. I'm grateful my dad never said stupid things about women's sports and even let my short self believe I could play LOL!!!

Spent the weekend in Roanoke, Virginia with the MFA students at Hollins University for their Playwright's Lab. I wish everyone the best with the next phase of their plays. Thank you to the students and faculty for being awesome!

"I'm a hustla baby. I just want you to know. It ain't where I been, but where I'm about to go." Jay Z really was rapping affirmations back in the day.
