I love that period when you find a great album & you don't care about anything except the album. You forget about everything, it’s just you & the album.

The real flex is knowing yourself so well that somebody misunderstanding you doesn't send you into an identity crisis. Like... okay? You're allowed to be wrong about me.

we often get too caught up in the appearance and insecurities of our own bodies we forget to be thankful that it’s functioning and working for us everyday
I am so grateful for this body. For the opportunity to be fully in it. How it works. Responds. Submits. How it carries on.

I have such a deep love for anybody who shows up for me. People don’t have to take time out of their day or life to celebrate you, support you or be there for you… so when they chose to do so, it means a lot.

Photography has made me an even better anthropologist and philosopher. Forever an excited student of the medium.

Outside of your own archive, the PDFs are absolutely necessary (forget “good”) for GRANTS, FELLOWSHIPS, and other literary competitions. Having proof of publishing is the difference between being awarded and not! The PDFs can save your life! That’s what’s good!
I think it’s less about writers saving our work and more about the work now being unavailable in the digital space. What good does me or someone else having a PDF do if others don’t have easy access to read / reference?

Production has wrapped on ‘FOREVER’ season 2. It will feature a four-year time jump from season 1. Keisha and Justin are living separate lives with new relationships and jobs. An unexpected reunion forces them to ask whether exes can truly be friends.

NEW: I spoke with Black farmers who said the cyclospora outbreak has sent a record number of people to their markets and CSA programs. They want people to know that you can support Black farmers all year round, not just during disaster. capitalbnews.org/black-farme…

There’s been a lot of conversation online about the dress code policy at Tuskegee. But current students have been largely left out of the discourse. So I talked with some of them: whatimreading.net/p/tuskegee…
