@LesleyMWheeler @Pardlo @ALSCWorg Fabulous panel, wonderful to meet you all! That discussion could have gone on for ages.

INTERVIEWER: explain this gap in your resume
WHITMAN: I was writing Leaves of Grass
INTERVIEWER: I mean after 1855

INTERVIEWER: ok but *after*
WHITMAN: Leaves of Grass (1860)
INTERVIEWER: let me guess...
WHITMAN: then I was a sexy nurse

Preserving the South Shore Nature Sanctuary is not just about “saving the trees,” though it is also that. It is about protecting low-income Black residents’ equal access to nature and all of the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits that such access provides. #SouthSideParks

On Thursday, I get to introduce Divya Victor @sugaronthegash and Aaron Cohick @ColoradoCollege who will discuss their collaboration on the artist’s book edition of CURB (a crucial, potent text) which you can visit in Special Collections @UChicago thanks to André Wenzel!

“Linklater’s scores trace out possible movements from where she is. These movements are anchored through practice to an ancestral tradition; they live in the displaced present of the colonial past.”

The brilliant @downevent has put together this super useful bibliography of texts by members of the Black Panther Party!

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

I'm putting together a list of books published by members of the Black Panther Party and affiliates, after being unable to find a similar resource elsewhere. Please share and let me know what needs to be added! https://t.co/IWQOES2Qxh

This is so incredibly shameful. Seeking asylum is not a crime. Shooting tear gas at asylum seekers lacks a basic level of humanity. This is your government. This is our government. Do not look away.

@natiop @ClaudioJacobo Approve. New union cloaks? New union LACE CUFFS?

Amazing rally today at the @uchicagogsu walkout—seemed like it could have been over 600 people! Loved the banners too. I wonder how long they’ll stay up?

[The Chicago Maroon @ChicagoMaroon]

The Graduate Students United walk out today was one of largest campus demonstrations in recent years. https://t.co/81bY6BJPo4

@KavehAkbar Everything in Jorie Graham’s Erosion, and Fanny Howe’s Come and See, especially “A Hymn”: “Some long-ago light is pulsating in a trout’s heart / on a laboratory dish. / That light has entered all the holes, / no matter how small, because it is the light that wants to live.”

My sober folks, it’s okay to leave the family event if there’s more alcohol than you’re comfortable with. I guarantee the people there love you and your sobriety more than they do this holiday. Take a cookie. Tell everyone you love them. Go.
