My thanks to @Othuke__Umukoro for inspiring me to dive into the spiky, salty, shrewd satirical poems of @TabanloLiyong. So much to savor in this African giant’s flavorsome quarreling in and with English. Chew on this sermon from the 1990s. (I love his promotion of Col. Sanders.)

Hey! It's been a minute! I've got two hours to fund this audiobook on #Kickstarter and this translation on #kofi. Anyone feeling like a hero tonight? #BlackArt #AfricanArt #JewishArt #SmallPress #Indie

Still haven't seen the Peanuts musical on Apple TV+, but it has this gorgeous song, written by Ben Folds, sung by Jayd Deroché. "When We Were Light"

What happens when a photographer’s lens captures the truth of human resilience?

@Refugees are too often unseen. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, draw inspiration from our former UN #SDGAwards judge @Muheisen81, who gives them a voice & reveals to the world the faces of the displaced.

Before Friday’s @POTUS-Putin meeting in Alaska, Razom’s adviser on abducted Ukrainian children, Katya Pavlevych @Kpavlevych, urges the U.S. to pressure Russia into returning the children. In a video for the @nypost, Katya lays out Ukraine’s attempts to negotiate the return of children with Russia and the role of America in this. Watch and share 👇

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Just wow. The Boryviter mosaic — badly damaged in Mariupol, restored in Kyiv — now stands in Trafalgar Square.

Unveiled by @usykaa and @richardbranson ahead of Usyk’s fight at Wembley.

This falcon is Ukraine: rising strong from the ashes.

Ronald L. Fair’s Hog Butcher is a gripping, poetic novel about a young Black boy shot by police—and the two children who must decide whether to tell the truth.

An American citizen who was killed in a Russian attack on Kyiv this week was an artist from Oregon, Fred Grandy. Upset by a reversal of US policy on Ukraine, he came to Kyiv in May to help clean up rubble from Russian attacks. He was among the 28 people killed on June 17.
