"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

Appropriately, I missed the deadline for Editor Appreciation Day. Let me say the editors I have worked with are *superb* and *essential.*
Props to Doyle at Bloomsbury, Parr at Library of America, Morrison at Fordham, Kasprzak (formerly at Minnesota), all my former fellow coeditors on Lateral.

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Within @aaup.org, there's a lot of advocacy chapters who wonder what power they have without a CBA. We're here to say it doesn't matter. Organizing is organizing is organizing. You want the contract but if you act like a union then you're a union. I call this The Newsies Principle.

My fav Shakespeare thing is how Henry IV part 2 starts with Majel Barrett Roddenberry saying, "Previously on Henry IV..." and there's a clip reel ending with Hotspur yelling "FIRE EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT."
Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."
Then Majel's voice: "And now, the conclusion."

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Yes! Truly gripping work.

I was ready to go UP for Cynthia Erivo in Othello with David Oyelowo (and I still am) but I thought she would be playing Iago. It's alright, but she would eat that for the record

The issue isn’t cost. It’s that the entire infrastructure in this country has been put into cars. Parking lots everywhere and bus stations nowhere. Light rail that comes every half an hour and isn’t synchronized so it takes forever if you have to switch lines.

It is funny to me when the criticisms of Black women’s novels are the same even when the novels are *incredibly* different. I know that when there's a pattern in what I say about markedly different texts, as a critic, that's probably about me. I wonder how many other people think about that.

I'm noticing the active construction of the homicide committed by the person getting evicted juxtaposed with the passive construction of the homicide committed by the cops
Authorities say a gunman who killed a Florida sheriff's deputy earlier this week died of his wounds Saturday from the confrontation.
