9/x "When death shows up too early, and without peace, there is pain and grief. Chronic illness, gun violence and loneliness are notorious merchants of early death in our #HipHop community."

Dillon can teleport at will.
But displacing his body creates a powerful vacuum at the point of departure.
Likewise, his arrival is preceded by an enormous shockwave.
It sounds like an impractical superpower, but it’s not.
Everyone’s always telling him there’s no reason to rush.

[Hip Hop Public Health @HHPHorg]

1/2 #HappyDiwali to our #NYTReadalong family. We're not hosting a show Sun, Oct. 23.

May the news (@nytimes or your local paper) continue to be a light in the ongoing battle against the darkness of ignorance.

[Micro Flash Fiction📖 @MicroFlashFic]

You can outlive yourself.
Crawl out under the wreckage and survive who you used to be.
Close your eyes, wrap yourself tight, and lay your bones in the clay.
But don’t forget.
Build a shrine to the memory of ancestor you. Thank them for the road ahead, your daily inheritance.

[Optimism A. Light @optimismlight]

Princess Esper wanted freedom. But first, she needed money.

So she studied disguises. And the blade. And alchemy.

After she was kidnapped by dragon, a brave knight won a huge reward for saving her.

Now she roams the land, teaching others to be ladies.
And knights.
And dragons.

@sree @kentingley @neilparekh @BigGreenPen @muckrack Listen up for a fantastic #NYTReadalong #ProTip for journalists from @KenTingley re: effective interviewing:

"Just shut up and wait. People hate silence. When you ask a tough question, don't be quick to move on to the next thing. Wait it out."
