I think when I say that Black studies that continues to go over the history and plight of Black predicaments without offering a look into the future are frustrating (for me) I say that bc there is a thought that people already know their predicament. Not that people are already

Just finished the last season of @SuitsPeacock and I could have sworn I’d seen the entire thing like season 6 or 7. Did my @netflix show me the wrong season? Felt like hella recycled material and like the writing didn’t evolve at all…damn that was disappointing

[Philip Butler, Ph.D. @hitechmonk]

What @SnoopDogg has become is what @NipseyHussle never got the chance to evolve into. He was lowkey on his way of doing his own version fr. . .

Most students don't know what questions to ask when thinking critically.

But, critical discussion is the ONE aspect of academic writing needed to be included in a literature review.

Here are some questions that you should ask when reading and understanding research papers:

Just finished this chapter I’ve spent damn near a 9 months on. Relieved and . . . damn that was a long time 😂

light it is also more naturally occurring than light?

I’ve admittedly made a couple jumps and if you’re reading this you’ve jumped in midway through a conversation I’ve been having with myself, the articles I’m reading and a few other people

[Philip Butler, Ph.D. @hitechmonk]

does take place in darkness. There isn’t enough light to completely eradicate darkness at any time. And if darkness is present-eminent to light but light cannot surpass darkness it just highlights that there is further darkness to explore than is darkness not only faster than…
