@ZeynJoukhadar Most providers don’t get how disruptive this stuff is to our lives… ugh. I am so glad that this is something you don’t have to deal with anymore! 💜
@MR_Subias@BurkettTiffani @OyinAtiOmi Drinking in excess isn’t new, but that it’s so commonplace & almost an expected “right of passage” when folks turn 21 is different than even 150 years ago. Ppl used to drink more at a celebration or holiday, but most ppl had to work 6-7 days a week so bar night wasn’t a thing.
@MR_Subias@BurkettTiffani @OyinAtiOmi True, but the alcohol content of ancient beer, wine, mead, etc was a lot less than the average mixed drink. Also, ppl now drink not just as a part of a meal, but go out with the sole purpose of consuming large amounts of alcohol.
You know the call.
All your books speak of it.
If I differ from you, it is only in this: When the call came, I heeded it. What the call commanded, I fulfilled.
The call said:
GO TO THE MOOR.
LIVE WILD THERE.
EAT ONLY NETTLES FOR ONE YEAR.
This is what I did.
@ZoeHanaMikuta Yaaaaaaaaayyy!!! Congratulations, I am so happy and so excited for you and for your younger self! So wonderful that this exists in the world.🥰💜

Publishing seriously needs to address its Anti-Blackness issue AND its tokenism issue because when you keep saying to Black folx “sorry we already have our Black book/author/editor/whatever” this is the result every single year 👇🏽
In the absence of New Year public revelry, here's a link to Tom's conversation with Sharon Blackie for her podcast series THIS MYTHIC LIFE.
Poetry and place, masculinity, hope and love, the darkness in Tom's writing...

@amandarachlee If you pick a good one, then it’s the best thing ever. I’ve been with my wife for 15 years & I wouldn’t trade anything we’ve experienced. 💜 But marriage isn’t for everyone, & that’s totally cool too.😁
