On the birthday of David Robert Jones, a reminder of him very politely telling original MTV VJ Mark Goodman in 1983 that MTV was looking real racist in the light for playing pretty much zero Black videos on the channel. And Mark Goodman's answers are remarkably bad.

@DrMaDMo He's done an amazing job navigating obstacles and systems in a way I haven't seen before. His team is solid. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they're planning or discussing how they want to move.

The recently opened Black Lives Matter Harm Reduction center doesn’t just provide narcan & harm reduction kits.

Policing who *should* get accommodations based on assumptions ("they don't have a diagnosis" or "they just want to goof off") only hurts disabled students by tightening restrictions.

In the story I end up triumphant. We both agree on that.But,how I got there? She had a wholly different version

whew! this is blowing up! Though I am speaking about Indigenous students, must add this applies to all marginalized students.

The world's first trombone rhythm game is instantly a GOTY contender. And no, I'm not kidding. Turn up the volume and hear Beethoven like you've never heard it before. https://t.co/Qu7Cmkhjzc

I hope that the other experiences POC in academia are also sharing on here are heard by allies & that allies take action to ensure they are not the ones further oppressing us in these systems that already make us feel alone at times.

I was at Marshall’s when a little girl taps me on the shoulder and asked me if I spoke Spanish.
