As #PValley returns for its final season, I spoke with creator Katori Hall and stars Nicco Annan, Brandee Evans, Shannon Thornton and Gail Bean about the show’s legacy of Black Southern culture, queer identity, and bodily autonomy for @papermagazine https://t.co/sElR8ytiWJ

Anyway, a man pushed a 23-year-old woman named Nathaly Ramirez off a 15 story balcony in the Bronx the other night. Her baby was in her arms. Nathaly died. The baby survived but is in critical condition. Domestic violence is a scourge and it’s all too common. Disgusting.

The rape victim to prison pipeline is cruel beyond words. We must break the cycle of abuse, and we must extend compassion and practical resources to survivors.

“If 2020 reminded us of anything, it’s that the struggle for African American autonomy in the American body politic is a multifaceted one tied to necessary and interlocking social, political as well as cultural revolutions in valuing Black life.”https://t.co/LnrSGlRQpj

In my #ADifferentWorld review, I draw a comparison between the original series’ willingness to depict the Anti-Apartheid movement that took originated at HBCUs, and the reboot’s decision to not include the current state of HBCU student activism around Cop City, ICE, and Palestine

[taylor crumpton @taylorcrumpton]

@LittleCharlesTV @jbrous41 That’s a fair point. I bring up in my review the limitations of a 10 episode first season, the possible influence of corporate censorship, and my hopes for them to improve in their sophomore season.

Vogue World’s Creative Director, has thoughts on your Internet outrage. I got Juan Costa Paz on the phone to ask him about his much discussed robots.
