@kjy1066 Exit West by Mohsin Hamid!

@PVDMayor The changes you made show (again) that you are more concerned with rich developers than you are with actual people in Providence. But we're the ones who vote! Me and my family will be skipping this one.

@CRSantantasio I love this book! I'm not convinced that switchback time is its own thing rhough

This pervy lesbian mermaid by Georges Léonnec circa 1926, is still one of the greatest things I've ever seen! And yes, she is smoking sardines.

@jkbphillips Yeah, I think you're right Broadwater is an incredible person. As I've seen people say elsewhere, it's too bad this piece didn't lead with him

[K Chess @kchessok]

@jkbphillips Reading this was so weird -- I feel like it's the same article with the same (upsetting) facts I read two years ago. Sebold doesn't seem to have much to add.

[Hanif Abdurraqib @NifMuhammad]

all of the best advice I've gotten from other artists, very early in my life of writing, has had little to do with the actual making of art, and so much more to do with how to treat people -- peers, younger artists readers of yr work, booksellers at your readings, etc etc

[K Chess @kchessok]

Yes, this is absolutely a subtweet

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Question no one is asking about “work requirements” for assistance: why are jobs paying so little that people with jobs need assistance to pay for rent and groceries?

[K Chess @kchessok]

I wouldn't know how to even start making a list of cities to live in if you are BIPOC or anyone in your family is.

[K Chess @kchessok]

Those lists of best American cities ranked by livability make me really mad. Like, I guess some cities in Florida are great if you aren't lgbtq, you don't have any family or friends who are lgbtq, and you don't give a fuck about anything.

Read the thread, man!

This morning I submitted the People over Parking Act, a bill in the U.S. House that eliminates parking minimums across the country in transit rich zones. We are in a housing crisis and eliminating parking requirements lowers costs to build. It’s good housing & climate policy.

This #MothersDay, we’ll be freeing as many Black Mamas and caregivers as possible so that they can come home to their families and communities.

We’re breaking open cages — are you with us?

Join the movement to #FreeBlackMamas!
