I’m in the middle of reading Native Son and it’s easily one of THE BEST novels I’ve ever read in my lifetime.

I see no reason for its ban in high schools because it’s historical context is so important & it’s relevance in the 21st century is staggering.

@_NativeMisfit Girl I will watch the ENTIRE VIDEO several times and tear up 😭😭

Black Historical Tea:
When James Baldwin & Richard Wright Almost Fought (And Tore Up a Parisian Cafe)

In 1949, a young Jimmy Baldwin published a scathing review of Richard Wright's novel "Native Son" in an essay he entitled "Everybody's Protest Novel." When Wright read the essay, he became enraged and decided to physically roll up on Baldwin (in person) at the trendy Parisian Cafe Les Deux Magots--where the two men were frequent patrons. Wright and Baldwin had previously had a friendly mentorship/mentee relationship---Wright was 40, Baldwin was 25.

Baldwin---who had a few drinks--essentially told Wright, "don't come for me, unless I send for you." Wright (who was the reigning OG of black literature at the time) warned Jimmy to stay in his place or the two of them were gonna have a "problem."

That didn't go well.

What happened next is one of the greatest Love & Hip Hop-level brawls in black literary history: Wright started swinging, Jimmy started cussin, tables started flying--and the novelist Chester Himes was the only person strong enough to physically subdue the two men.

In the years to come, James Baldwin would go on to become one of the most important voices in American literature. Richard Wright maintained his status as one of the most influential writers in American history.

But the two men would never speak to each other again.

@a_karinna09 I gotta catch up!! 😭

You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police.

You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma.

It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.

Hot take: I actually like when people bring up how they relate to my situation. I don’t assume they’re trying to steal the spotlight or one-up me. I see it as a person trying to help however they can by connecting & being vulnerable w me, as we should if we want community

As an American…I RESENT the fact that I can’t handle the non-western level of spice in their foods. The thought of it makes me SICK 😭 Non-western cuisines are the best foods I’ve ever tasted, yet I’m a lil b***h when it comes to eating more than a Serrano or Cayenne pepper…😒

Big news out of NC that's not getting enough attn: Voters STOPPED Republicans from gaining a veto-proof supermajority.

This means the GOP can't push through a total abortion ban and NC will remain the one safe haven for repro rights in the South.

But wait, there's more... 1/3

@LauELazarini Oh sweet baby!!! I’m so sorry, Laura! 💕 Rain is up there in the ferret utopia playing and sleeping to their heart’s desire.

Did I buy a cheaper wine than usual this weekend? Yes.

Is it nasty? Absolutely.

Will I be drinking it regardless? 1000%

I had a student ask me if we were going to learn about WWIII…they thought it already occurred in history 😭😭.
