First issue in spring 2026 still accepting submissions.

Across Africa, Reporters Without Borders has documented sustained online harassment and surveillance targeting women journalists in West Africa, noting that digital abuse has become an emerging barrier to press freedom.

👀 China makes it illegal to podcast on health issues without a degree. Before 2025 we might have felt this is wrong but it’s hard not to be jealous. (Yes, every member of our team has a collection of letters after their name)

I would had hoped that people understood that some people do in fact prefer video/audio for receiving information (especially when they may have disabilities that make reading difficult) and not use ableist language against them but apparently that was too much to hope for …

Yes many of us hate that everything is video these days for many valid reasons but on the flip side other people have valid reasons for preferring video and they don’t deserve to have intelligence based insults thrown at them.

Someone should have link in bio or pinned post maybe Nerve to Write #Lit #Disability #ChronicIllness #Neurodivergent #Writers www.nervetowrite.com/about

instagram started serving me a bunch of videos about “so everyone has this mystery illness right we’re all suffering 😷” and thousands of comments agreeing and i’m just here to say no it doesn’t have to be like that actually

always strange to talk about but when i see everyone around me accepting sickness when i have been doing just one thing different while attending movies parties bars concerts flights…….i feel morally obligated to occasionally mention that wearing a mask has been a game changer. simple as that

Apparenly she's dead and someone said "her politics sucked" and proceeded to post clip after clip of film clips. Calling Black people savages and denigrating Muslim people is beyond bad "politics".

Interesting that Alain Delon was called the "male Brigitte Bardot" Bardot, who has a long history of making racial insults, was required to pay €20,000 for a 2019 letter calling residents of (French territory) Réunion island “savages.” She's written racist books. Link: archive.ph/2021.11.05-2...

Jasmine Crockett: “People are understanding it’s not good to have a con man as commander in chief — People are frustrated because the cost of everything is going up. We’ve lost 1.1M jobs since he swore in just in January — People are not happy with anything that is going on”

One of the best books I read this year

Same, all it took was one skeet handful of almonds + butter + Tajin chili lime seasoning + roast function in air fryer 🥜🌶🍋‍🟩

black people: do yall wear sunscreen?

Wow, phenomenal list. And the film recommendations! In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones (1989) is set in 1970s India and features architecture students in their final year of college. Part autobiographical, a young Arundhati Roy relives her own experiences. She's in it! #FilmSky #Lit

"The 1st part explores how to conceptualize alienation as the foundation of the subject & the necessity of detaching it from oppression. The 2nd part focuses on capitalism and its antisocial core. The last part addresses the connection between psychoanalysis and power." I expect certain* citations.

Yes, even in winter. #layers

All the time! Nothing lower than SPF 50. Even on cloudy days, even in the winter

my poetry addresses racists and white critics who will never read my work, so it's important that those familiar with me to go out and tell them that "brothadirt doesnt like you" - not that, you know, they wouldnt already know this. but maybe go tell them anyway.

This is also a structured method for clinicians to consider hosting non-clinical, commununity/peer support meetings - which a lot of therapists have inquired about. Therapists do not own sitting in a circle, and community circles are not mental health services!

it is the second day of #Kwanzaa, Kujichagulia , which focuses on self determination and for me that also means revolution and reimagining. Here are a few books that you can pick up today and this week. #booksky #blackbooksky

Just in case you missed this article about the erosion of the 14th and 15th Amendments during the holiday. Important reporting by @adamserwer.bsky.social

Yep that's definitely us💪🏾👩🏾‍🌾👨🏾‍🌾

Here's @pepepierce.bsky.social's book I'm referencing -- Speculative Relations: Indigenous Worlding and Repair www.dukeupress.edu/speculative-... And the introduction is free to download and read!

Thanks for bringing me into this conversation! I would add that Worlding as I use it is meant to be less egocentric and more humble. The Worlding can happen/is already happening without me/without humans, so we need to relate to the world with care.

We’re just going to produce entire generations unable to write or read aren’t we

Waaaaaaaaay back further than early 20th or even 19th century. Perhaps to the pre-colonial, pre-European contact oral cultures that Europeans judged to be inferior. Where song and speaking didn't (doesn't) have the solid division some love to make.

Me and @caboosezine.bsky.social have talked a bit about whether we want a video component to our podcast and have nixed it so far. maybe it's because I have low vision but I never choose a visual option for podcasts and it annoys me that I may miss out on context because I do.

Was invited to contribute to the Quarter Mark on significant moments of the first 25 years of this century. With thanks to DB and Rinaldo Walcott for reading and thinking with me. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

If you’d like to read it and cannot, let me know and I’ll see what’s possible.

The gift link didn't work for me but there are ways. And it is worth getting behind the paywall to read this both because of @hystericalblkns.bsky.social's look back but because what it looks like for our collective future to know deeply that "the solidarities ignited on May 25, 2020, continue"
