@DerraisCarter I really want a red herring emoticon now.

THIS IS SUCH A THRILL!

@surlybassey @haymarketbooks Yes!
One of my favorite collections ever. I love the Alexis Deveaux interview, and, of course, the Gayl Jones one. Claudia Tate's expert interview/conversation skills must be praised. Thank you for sharing the word of the good works of @haymarketbooks!

@steve_dickison @katewebb_uk @jstheater @hystericalblkns @EnglishNewark Sorry to take so long to respond, and you might have found this info by now. Gayl Jones' published a critical text, MINDING THE WORD, dedicated to the writings of her mother, Lucille Jones. There is at least one back-issue of the journal, CALLALOO, featuring the two.

@laura_luna So glad you were there!

I would go stand in that, though, for real. I haven't felt rain on my skin in three months.

Sunny one minute, thunderous downpour the next. Is this Florida?! Nope. Santa Clarita. #wxalert #lacounty #cbs2 @CBSLA @KCBSKCALDesk

Santa Clarita, California after hitting near 110F this afternoon was just hit by a hellacious severe thunderstorm
bringing 60 mph wind gusts, hail, heavy rain and frequent lightning.

Incredible swings in weather in SoCal.

I watch TO SLEEP WITH ANGER almost every year to get my Mary Alice-Sheryl Lee Ralph fix. It's time, and time for a Mary Alice tribute series in this house.

@ShanteParadigm I've been program director (chair), which rotates among faculty, and in the main, amongst faculty and our students, it was great professionalization and collaborative visioning, but when the Rona hit, it got HARD. Admin. Care. Boundaries. Race. Class. Gender. Map it. Whew.

[Tisa Bryant @misstisab]

@ShanteParadigm I threw myself into that work and quickly learned that DEI is just not the way to recover from racial violence at your institution. Like I needed to help them learn to help, support + protect me and others. Trauma is a curious creature.

So many feelings... Kudos to playwright Kristin Greenidge, and all who worked 11 years to make this happen.

“We are going to need bookstores that make sure those smaller companies are part of the supply chain, and not just the majors.”

[Tisa Bryant @misstisab]

Our loss of generational wealth also means this.

“Every so often, we get a 1619 Project from the majors,” [Fugate] said. “I just hope we continue to have stores that will support Black Classic Press and Africa World Press and [Baltimore-based] African World Books." +
