Grateful for you, too, sis! A dream collab partner 💕
Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence.
What a legacy.
Hey there! Just seeing this. Still looking for bookmarks?
Ok, friends, here I am, once again plugging the Booktok/Bookstagram that @autumnadia.bsky.social and I launched recently. It's called Specs 'n Texts, and you can find us on Insta and TikTok. We're also at @specsntexts.bsky.social

Such a good album!
It’s Black History Month! Teach Black Resilience. (a short thread)
Everything is doomscrolling right now. I get it. Have you had something to eat today? Taken your meds? Checked in with a friend?
It's important to still take care of yourself and give yourself grace. One thing at a time.
"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."~Audre Lorde
Listen, and I'm saying this for myself as well, if there are any books or articles that you want or need, go download or purchase them now before they disappear. Like right now. Like, yesterday actually.
Also I’m saying it: buy my book for Black History Month because it features the voices of incarcerated disabled girls of color. They can actually identify what can be improved in education, not these fucking bullshit exec orders.
Miss you, too!!
New pub alert! Published a new piece on Black Feminist Text Selection with the brilliant Latrice Ferguson, Angela Crawford, and and @ebonyteach.bsky.social.
We draw on Black Feminist scholarship, to focus on how Black women teachers see text selection as practices of care and community building.
Making sure this is seen
Ok, folks. So, I've floated this idea before, but now I feel ready to try to tackle it.
Sooo, if I were to start some kind of public Global Black Studies academy with accessible content on some kind of video platform, who would want to help me?

maaan these wedding vendors are out here getting away with highway robbery
shit is obscene
Showing up this way is one way to show support. I've also made this for my students so they can move from fear & rage to actions. I will keep adding to it but wanted to share with you all. Clearly inspired by @prisonculture.bsky.social @miamingus.bsky.social & others! docs.google.com/document/d/1...
You must be unintimidated by your own thoughts because if you write with someone looking over your shoulder, you'll never write.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Any readers/writers have suggestions for where I can get an annotation kit with transparent sticky notes that isn't A*azon?
Museums!
In 2025, I plan to log off, go outside, and touch grass far more. 🌱
Honestly seeing Him move in even the most mundane circumstances.
When I pray about something (even something silly), I know He hears me because it’ll come up in a casual conversation with an answer or a message.
I can look back over my life and see every place God has had His hand on me.
One day I’ll actually get a winter break!

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.
