Dear @Ticketmaster
I'm a Spurs fan who doesn't live in San Antonio. How am I supposed to get tickets to game 5? Are yall lifting the geographical restrictions any time soon?

Last Saturday, @UnnameableB was a wonderful host for the #StayBlackandDie tour stop as I deliberately planned the event for the weekend of Mother’s Day in honor of Maxine 🫶🏾

@jam_in_on engaged the work meticulously, and folks from various parts of my life were in attendance!

See you tomorrow with @jam_in_on at @UnnameableB!

_Stay Black and Die: On Melancholy and Genius_ being named a @SeminaryCoop Notable Book of 2023, before it officially drops, is an honor and a gift—check the OP link for the other notable titles; and let this be another reason to purchase the book! 😉👇🏾

And so it begins…

The sample included here is the Preface to _Stay Black and Die: On Melancholy and Genius_. As the book nears its tangible arrival into the world, I hope these pages provide insight into what I am, and have been, up to for the last 5.5 years.

My students at UVA are creating short lectures each week in our "Making a Monster: Race and Monstrosity n the American Imagination" course. Here's the first of many: https://t.co/C0NgqBpwNz

If capital B Black is a political identity with roots in liberation+nationalist traditions, do I engage with the embedded patriarchal practices? Is it ethical to decide that my black women narrators, who are always becoming, must be confined on the page to those traditions?

[JAM @jam_in_on]

Today I'm sitting with twitter's discussion on whether or not to capitalize the B in black. I don't capitalize the letter B unless the word black starts a sentence. In short: a capital B is inflexible and blackness is deliberately excessive

Revising a dissertation on black revolutionary women and their negotiations of radical traditions and heterosexual, romantic partnerships has always been challenging, and my questions and motivations are shifting in this current moment of awakening...

#BlackLivesMatter and this is ALL black lives. We’re not picking and choosing. That’s not how it works. This includes our BLACK trans family. Especially our trans sisters who need our protection!!! We are stronger together. I love y’all!
