@imjenniefrost Maybe a good time to remind her that what "bothers" us in other people is often a sign of what bothers us about ourselves (and, oh yeah, that her recovery isn't your responsibility).

I’m beginning to map out my book tour for PRAYING NAKED. Does your town or university have a reading series? Would you like me to visit your classroom? Do you have a living room in which I may recite my verse? Can’t wait to share this book with you! ✨🙏🏼

Three new films I HIGHLY recommend: Netflix’s The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, HBO’s Native Son, and Amazon’s Guava Island.

All are utterly fantastic. Global blackness.

I keep seeing people say this, but I can’t wrap my mind around the idea that people actually believe that anyone who disagrees with them politically Is “mentally ill.”

[Kristi Larkin Havens @larkinhavens]

It's always a little startling when I realize how many of my students don't know what Record Store Day is. Or liner notes. Or why you might want to buy a record rather than just that one song you like. There are days when I am extremely grateful to be really old.

The Alan Lomax Archive is freely available to everyone. That's 17,400 digital audio files, beginning with Lomax’s first recordings onto (newly invented) tape in 1946 and tracing his career into the 1990s. Incredible!

The epic Droneflower version of the GNR song Estranged is out today. I too was transfixed by Axl swimming with the dolphins and always wanted to cover this song. @SacredBones @StephenBrodsky We hope you enjoy
