"The difficulty in locating the original road stems from its fragmented oversight... The fed government funded the route + the interstate, while individual states managed the construction. Without standardization, each state built its portion differently using varied methods + materials."

Harvard beckons, and we said YES. I’ll spend next year writing my book on the history of MILK as a fellow at the Hutchins Center. Grateful for the time to write and research, esp with a mischievous Dragon Baby by my side. Hello, New England!

Harvard! Thank you for the chance to talk about my book DARK LABORATORY in conversation with the French and Creole / Kreyol speaking Caribbean. I presented my paper “Afro-Asia Tremblement: Wifredo Lam, Malaury Eloi Paisley, Kelly Sinnapah Mary” as part of a panel called A Vast Caribbean this week.

Your presentation was so amazing! 🪸 In fact, I loved the entire event.

Great credit is due to the Bard College community of undergraduate anti-rape activists—organizing as “Take Back Bard”—who insisted on Bostein’s resignation even in the face of widespread indifference from the faculty and sneering mockery of their efforts in the New York Times. I admire them.

"Kelly Sinnapah Mary uses a surreal flair to paint the journey of her ancestors." Loooove! #ArtSky #CaribbeanSky 🌱 readfoyer.com/article/indi...

Love to see Lam and Glissant (tremblement) put together.

So glad that @taoleighgoffe.bsky.social is presenting first and that I caught the MoMA Lam show. #ArtSky #CaribbeanSky 1:30 to 3:30pm | A Vast Caribbean Afro-Asia Tremblement: Wifredo Lam, Malaury Eloi Paisley, Kelly Sinnapah Mary Tao Leigh Goffe (Hunter College, City University of New York)

What happened at the Supreme Court is about anti-Blackness and curtailing Black political power. Trump as a corrective to Obama. Anti CRT/ DEI as a corrective to Black Lives Matter and Black progress in education and the workforce. Anti-Blackness is America’s favorite manner of self-harm.

If you could live in a song, which one would it be? 🎶🎵why?

We have a new [old] HOUSE in NYC for my climate lab! Come through. May 16.

🏀

Look, I'm a historian of 18th c British America. I've always thought the most honest perspective on the past also sets us up to understand complexity now. For more than 10 years I've known that 2026, the semiquincentennial, would land hard. Some weeks though are like swimming through concrete.

Thank you for all the invitations to conferences. As a full-time mother doing all the childcare, I don’t even know when else I would have time to advance my intellectual ideas 💡 lol. Theory in real time.

We’ve got a flag for the house! Dragon Baby approved.

!!!!

We got the keys! A new HOUSE in NYC for my Lab. Excited about the galaxy of new initiatives we have in store on climate art and racial justice. #DarkLab

Calling all New Englanders! At my climate lab, we’re excited for new projects exploring coastal NE ecologies and port cities.

April 26th, join Dark Lab for a Chinese calligraphy workshop on translation and decolonizing. @mashouse.bsky.social

We don’t need constant music in public spaces or when on hold

Another reminder that white people can stop what's happening in the US whenever they want. They are just choosing not to.

I’ll be advising two new PhD students @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social 🎉🎉

Save the Date! May 16. NYC.

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

Next time my flight is delayed, I'm going to remember that Artemis II returned to earth right on time, after a space flight that lasted 9 days, 1 hour, 32 minutes! I guess that's why they call it "rocket science"!?

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced visit to the Everglades concentration camp where she describes the inhumane conditions she witnessed.

Who here knows how to roast breadfruit? Asking for a friend who is grilling 🔥

Woke up out of anaesthesia telling the nurses that I want to start a library. ✌🏾

On a plantation tour in the South with my baby strapped to me, and whites literally shoving past me, a Black mother (descended from Africans who were enslaved), to get better pictures of the barracks on the “enslaved people’s tour” sums up this country right now. 250 years! 🇺🇸✌🏾

I miss nightwriting.

"This is the ouroboros. The snake eating its own tail. AI writes the code. AI reviews the code. AI checks the deployment. When it breaks, the answer is more AI. The loop has no exit condition." There are so many powerful cautionary lessons — both technological + methodological — in here.

Love this country never going home

The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls. Why is nobody talking about this anymore? These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.

News Analysis: The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday on the legality of President Trump’s order to end birthright citizenship. Some conservative legal experts say the case might be a closer call than once thought.
