Amazing talk, elegantly delivered. You can feel
the love and fierceness through the screen. Powerful reading blackness as fundamental and necessary in the book’s cosmology. I’ve been waiting years for someone knowledgeable enough to wade the thicket of alchemy and race. 🥹🖤🖤🖤

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

I laugh at how naive I was when we came out of lockdown that there would be a surge in funding for research into brain fog, inflammation and other #Covid by products. Never dreamed that folk wouldn’t even test, much less demand answers #Disability

Mike Johnson: "Because we know that support for American families doesn't end at birth, our policies reflect this. With the Working Families Tax Cut we passed the most pro-life and pro-family legislation that has been signed into law in decades."

And Kyle Abraham.
I saw Kyle Abraham's A.I.M. and the show had a live three-piece jazz ensemble on stage and two PHENOMENAL singers were featured. The first chanteuse sounded like Abby Lincoln and the other Billie Holliday-esque.
Kyle himself performed his dance choreographed to Nina Simone's "Ne Me Quitte Pas".
