This is the weeping time.

“Here,” she said, “in this here place,
we flesh; flesh that weeps, laughs; flesh that
dances on bare feet in grass. Love it. Love it
hard. Yonder they do not love your flesh.
They despise it.”
Baby Suggs. BELOVED.

Cornell threatens to suspend grad student, Momodou Taal, without due process which could result in his deportation. Folks thought a Trump admin would set this precedent. Biden did.

Great book that illuminates the intense desire of Black Mississippi kids to be free.

Also-per pupil spending white/black, 1962:

Amite County: $70.45/$2.24

Tunica County: $172.80/$5.99

Students - writing their way towards freedom. In these conditions.

Powerful.

At California State University, lecturers make less per month than the chancellor receives in housing and car allowances. The CSU faculty union wants the university to invest in high-quality teaching, not administrative bloat. https://t.co/QohQuqMP3O

my favorite writing lesson that applies to both my creative and academic work is that without good reading there is no good writing.

ATL’s long history of black movements produced it’s present surveillance based counter-insurgency policing paradigm
that emphasizes “anti (urban) terrorism” (see also: anti-gang) policing strategies 🧵
