@electrickbob @LeftOfBlack @marthasjones_ @BasicBooks Like, literally do a google search—she’s mixed. Her mother from German immigrants and her father was a Black man

@Variety But shouldn’t he have a healthy monthly income from residuals? The amount of work he’s done?

“The chicken or the egg equivalent for screenwriters (and all storytellers) is what comes first: Plot or character. What should come first is reading Scott Myers’ book." - Keith Giglio, screenwriter, professor, S.I. Newhouse School, Syracuse University https://t.co/i7nxvc4fl2

@prageru The interview they chose to feature in this trailer is the preacher saying that the Palestinian flag bears the colors of the Four Horsemen?? 😦 Really exercising that theological doctorate, I see 😣

Quentin Tarantino: “I don’t know what a writing adjective is. I always use acting adjectives. To me writing’s almost the same thing because you’re acting like a character and that’s what acting is all about, the moment.” #screenwriting

Thanks so much @NewBlackMan for this opportunity to help make an incredible series on Black studies scholarship—needed now more than ever ever. And major thanks to the @tellyawards!

@meredithdclark breaks down the significance of #BlackTwitter in its heyday and where Black journalism is today in this Season 15 finale w/ @NewBlackMan. She wrote "We Tried to Tell Y'All: Black Twitter and the Rise of Digital Counternarratives," publ. by @OxUniPress

@ABC NPR & PBS offer non-ratings driven, non-advertisement driven news, unlike private companies. They provide a service to the public. Just b/c they don’t stroke Trump’s ego like Fox News doesn’t mean they should lose funding

[Eric Barstow @View_Findr]

@atom_jarvis @ABC Y’know @atom_jarvis if Trump were intent on getting rid of ONLY migrants with a clear criminal background or outstanding warrants, I could see that. But the zeal that they’ve shown to round up anyone, even asylum seekers, and send them out w/o due process suggests something else.

[Eric Barstow @View_Findr]

@ackocher I am not disillusioned. ALL OF THIS is ultimately to make America less brown and more white. Period. That’s why MAGA is so onboard. They would go after legal immigrants if they could, which they will try with revoking the natural born citizenship law.

Excited to hear from @profcsanders on her book, “A Forgotten Migration,” publ. by @UNC_Press

How did white supremacist southern legislatures use "segregation scholarships" to deprive HBCU's of much-needed funds during Jim Crow? What were the huge sacrifices Black grad students made to go far from home to get higher education? @profcsanders tells all from her book, "A Forgotten Migration," from @UNC_Press.

@netflix @netflix, thank you for the memories of AOL and buffering songs back in the day 🤗

[Eric Barstow @View_Findr]

@netflix @netflix—-I don’t think you’re ready for prime time. Even with lightening fast Google fiber, buffering??

@ProfCeciliaM @UNC_Press @DukeHistoryDept I need to get mine 😭

[Cecilia Márquez (she/her) @ProfCeciliaM]

It is officially the ✨first anniversary✨ of my book #MakingtheLatinoSouth. It has been an unbelievable year getting to share the stories of the Latino South with audiences & readers. Many parts of being an academic are hard but the chance to share this work has been all joy. 🥰
