Dance when there is music. Sing when there are words on your heart. Live and laugh. Try to leave the world a little bit better than you first encountered it.

Anyone want to explain why we would want to spend money to house folks in prison, criminalize poverty in a new way, and more when we could just like... house people, give them mental health resources and... everything else? [New idea maybe? 🙄]

"Yesterday, a new study estimated that there've been nearly 65,000 rape-related pregnancies in the 14 states that banned abortion after Roe v. Wade was overturned. The research [was] published in JAMA"

Tennessee saw an estimated 4993 rape-related pregnancies since enacting an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape/incest, according to a new study from @JAMAInternalMed

The Supreme Court ruling 5-4 against the Navajo Nation in its water rights dispute is egregious.

This is stolen land and this ruling by SCOTUS continues the legacy of stealing from Indigenous peoples.

“Some things should hardly need saying. It’s not ethical or legal to shoot someone for ringing your doorbell. Or leaving your driveway. Or rolling a basketball into your yard. Or accidentally getting into your car before quickly leaving it.”

This has been a frustrating week for me at so I haven’t said much. First, my prayers for the families of the 6 victims. For about six or seven years I’ve discussed how extreme Tennessee has been. Dr. Ray Block & I wrote a book about this & what it means for African Americans. 1/3

I can't say enough how weird it is to see on social media something about winter when I'm living in a place that has the same temperature every day.

It's weird... but I'm LOVING the perspective.
