I’m incredibly grateful my elementary/middle school took us to see Alvin Ailey every year. Little me was in awe at the dancer’s strength, beauty and grace (they were the reason I didn’t immediately quit ballet). RIP🤎
Judith Jamison, an international dance pioneer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, has passed away at the age of 81.
Judith's grace, stature, and God-given talent inspired us all to dance like no one’s watching. In 1965, at a time when Black dancers were rare in ballet, she became the standard of dance with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
Jamison helped bring the dance company international acclaim with two of Ailey’s signature dances, “Revelations” and “Cry.” She danced with the Ailey Company for 15 years before leaving to perform on Broadway. Later, she returned to the Ailey Company as its artistic director for 20 years.
Thank you for the gifts; may you dance a heavenly dance.

I’m listening to Republican strategist Sarah Longwell on NPR talking about public opinion of Trump’s tyrannical posture and she just said:
“When I ask voters in focus groups if they think Donald Trump is an authoritarian, the #1 response by far is, ‘what’s an authoritarian?’”
really fucked myself by thinking i had avoided falling into the hope and optimism trap and discovering all at once that i actually did believe a different outcome was possible and even likely
It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.
This man lost to Biden.
Lost by ALOT.
If you think that this is ANYTHING other than misogyny at play you’re lying to yourself.
She is THE most qualified candidate on YEARS.
She is viciously intelligent and driven.
She is losing ground with MEN, latine & Blk voters.
