Thought I was almost done assembling my new bicycle when I realized the chain is a garbled mess & I'm missing 1 bolt. Off to the bike shop 🚲

Slowly running farther & faster

Please don't make me go to Boston for dancing -- house, hip hop, afrobeat.

I need a reliable adult dance party in Rhode Island. House, Hip Hop, Afrobeat. Day parties or night time fun. Have car, will travel.

Making some decisions. Hopefully good. Meh.

Great books I read recently: - Glory Be by Danielle Arceneaux - The Fisherman by Chigozie Obioma - My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite - The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston

Finished Act 1 💃

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

SCOTUS has declared racism dead except when they can use it to protect white people

Still celebrating Juneteenth today at Newport, RI. The end of slavery in the US!! #WeDidThat

NYT: White House Debated Suspending Habeas Corpus and Invoking Insurrection Act

A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to immediately resume asylum and immigration processing for immigrants from 39 African, Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries.

Will there be another staged attempt on DJTs life tonight? What odds does Vegas have on this?

Grateful that my latest publication reflecting on the Phoenix Players Theatre Group, “Performing Black Feminist Abolition,” is in the volume Applied Theatre and Racial Justice edited by @lisabiggs.bsky.social and Eunice Ferreira. Check out this book! www.routledge.com/Applied-Thea...

Headed to show #3 of the weekend @ Trinity Repertory & Brown/Trinity MFA

Changed the bedroom curtains from blackout blacks to diaphanous white. Feeling like I'm in the treetop canopy now. Hoping ambient light rom the streets won't keep me up. Its so beautiful

So proud of the students in my Performing the Black Arts Movement course @africanastudies.bsky.social Their final performance of poetry, songs, movement & scenes by Sanchez, Giovanni, Hayden, Greenlee. Spriggs, Baraka & other BAM artists was 🔥 😊 Thnx to everybody who came to support

Vera wants to party, to get the band back together & believes firmly that she's pretty & on the verge of stardom.

Lost my phone overnight in the car again. Found it this morning under a seat. I know it's time for a new phone but they're sooooo expensive. Please just hang on. Trust I will transfer & transition all you know with dignity. I just need time.

Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay, and incarcerated journalists deserve to be uplifted and celebrated. Prison journalism is essential work. Much of what we know about incarceration comes from people inside who have risked a great deal to tell their stories.

Taught someone the meaning of "indigenous" today.

Any airline that doesn't include a seat in the ticket needs to go.

It's May Day. Saluting all the artists, large & small, known & unknown, working alone & in community. Your contributions are vital, you keepers of tradition & dreamers of the future.

Rest in peace & in power Woodie King Jr.

Why was the alleged #WHCD shooter shirtless? Was he streaking? Tripping? Suicidal? Was it a prank? Was he paid? Did the cops strip him?

How are the ratings today? Do we know if Trump, the media or another figure was the target of the #WHCD shot? Anyone looking? How much was the accused attacker paid? Since Trump controls so much media & the DOJ, we may never know. Elect a flimflam man, get a trumpery president.

Scrambled eggs, salad, veggie pad thai, smoky fish & potato soup & 🍕

Rearranged the patio & it feels more spacious. Can't wait to get out there.

The artificial intelligence industry’s data center boom is the latest chapter in a long history of environmental racism and resource exploitation in vulnerable Native communities, says Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne activist Krystal Two Bulls.

So much distraction, so much noise

Might eat a waffle

Tired of shifty neighbors who know our dogs don't get along & choose to antagonize. I'm not modifying my behavior anymore. If there's a dogfight today, it's because they chose violence

I dislike prepping for Monday on Sunday, but I know my tomorrow will go more smoothly if I do.

Cleaned up the balcony, prepped the containers, bought plants, put hands in dirt. Spring 🔥

Stop arming the US & Isreal

NEW: We released a report showing that our country's current approach to traffic safety has failed to reduce roadway deaths while imposing harsh financial and human costs. Using traffic stops as a policing tool is ineffective for public safety, and excessive stops threaten our civil liberties.

Need to put comments on papers & write a rec letter. Want to go flower shopping

Glad the #Artemis astronauts made it back safely. I remember the Challenger disaster &
