I make poems, pies and dances.

@DanceFayemoore I cursed at the screen. They clearly missed the part where when taking a concept from Black feminism it is a good idea not to become the leading example of the worst kind of double bind gaslighting. 🙄🤬

@MsPattiPatti my mom's last wish is to hear from you. She loved the video you made for her when I interviewed u. On hospice now, given a choice between u and gospel, she often chooses you to bring her peace during times of pain.

@Slumflowerr I needed someone else to confirm the extreme WTF of the moment!!

@AskTarget I get that supplies can sell quickly. Last night, your website indicated limited availability, this morning good availability. The store signs say there are no tests at all. Is this true?Are you concerned that the pharmacist is selling his outside service as an alternate?

[Shalewa @MUVDanceCompany]

@Target while your website says that there ARE tests available, the pharmacist on duty says there are not test. He was happy to offer me the services of his personal testing company though. What's up with that? #baitandswitch

@ByrnsIorek These dudes are frighteningly awful. Alas, that is apparently sufficient to the task of getting the ogre acquitted.

Getting clear on what the work is with @ltalusan.

Y'all. Let's talk about the okey doke the authors are trying to pull in this article. Shall we? https://t.co/GwdTS4AmaN #. .

[tangerinejones @tangerinejones]

It would seem I need to clear up some confusion about #Ragebaking for folks. https://t.co/hyv7sNuw43

@anamariecox "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired," is credited to Fannie Lou Hamer, noted organizer and leader in the Black Freedom Struggle. Also, Rosa Parks being tired, is definitely apocryphal. Misremembering these women's legacies in this context is not great.

@realTrumpcast @page88 please do not misrepresent antiblack lynching as solely directed at boys and men. Black people of all genders were victims of homicidal mob violence.

@crissles Listening to your read as the news of the conviction of Botham Jean's killer breaks, and thinking about the possibility that the judge's ruling in the defense's favor removes a cause for future appeal. #notalawyer

Has engaging with the supernatural in writing this book shifted your thinking/feeling/experience around religion and spirituality? If so, how?

@ezraklein Redlining fueled exclusion & bigotry not parallel to resistance to displacement by gentrification. convo w/Eric Kaufman was distressingly light on critical response to ahistorical statements and willful mischaracterizations. Many other examples. You usually do better.
