Happy Juneteenth !!!

On June 19, 1865 Union General Gordon Granger announced that “all slaves are free” in Galveston, Texas.

"Afterlives of the Plantation" was my favorite read last year - incredible research. It inspired me to go to the @AAIHS academic conference off the strength of the writing.

I had the incredible opportunity to speak with @ProfMcInnis about his work!

Well deserved!

[Jarvis C. McInnis @ProfMcInnis]

So grateful for this recognition of my book by @AAIHS, a leader in the field of Black intellectual history! 🙌🏾🥳

@siddharthkp This is interesting point. I think the other side of the coin is that it's easier to "sponsor" a feature you need when a team doesn't have capacity.

It used to be that unless you got explicit go-ahead from the EMs on each side, you'd be subject to your dependency's roadmap

No matter how hard you work, how badly you bleed, how little days you miss, how much time you miss with your kids, how invaluable you are to the company, they will still axe you the second a single quarter goes sideways. Loyalty is always one sided.

Idk I feel like I had a different takeaway from this panel. That there is still power in ritual in a world where shortcuts prevail

this speech is literally 1:1 how you should treat making art

@MgBeanie @JPenumbra I feel like M2.0 did a good job balancing the slice of life aspect. S1 and S2 have their overarching storylines but you get a lot of Virgil and co. in both volumes.

I need to refresh my memory, but it was more than "bam sock pow" imo 🤷🏿‍♂️

[Maliha @CaffeinatedLiha]

Can we normalize returning summaries to the backs of the books again instead of reviews and praises? I just want to know what the book is about.

[Jonathan Powell @itsjjpowell]

Jay Electronica would definitely slide on this "Ode to Nikki" off of To Whom This May Concern

[Jonathan Powell @itsjjpowell]

@NikDraperIvey Static Season 1 and Shadows of Dakota are my favorite interpretations of the character.

Great run, can't wait to read the finale!

Getting your car towed by ppa is basically a Philly Baptism

@iamMelsmith Sing About Me / Dying of Thirst is one my favorite storytelling tracks of all time. And in my top 5 all time Kendrick tracks

No notes on the halftime show besides dtmf should’ve been longer

[Miguel Salazar @miguelxsalazar]

it’s as if the entire concert was delivered in secret code and the only way you can crack it is by learning a language that 42 million ppl in this country speak

[Jonathan Powell @itsjjpowell]

This reminds me of the point ppl make that so much media of Black figures is in black-and-white.

I just found out Ralph Ellison died in 1994?! And 99% of his photos are black and white

Racism is so crazy because that shit really wasn't ass long ago as history tries to portray.

Posting this old istio meme bc I have no other place to put it:

@ankit_hb I think the other element is that in the original series Jujutsu society's dependency on Gojo left them unprepared to face crises. To some extent is seems that Yuji internalized that and stepped aside. At the same time he was thrust in Jujutsu rather than being raised in it
