Tomorrow is my mfa graduation. I'm not going to the ceremony (cuz, girl), but I'm proud of the body of work I created and how I've picked myself up to finish what I started.
I've already shared some of my thesis zine in progress on patreon.

If you want a sharp analysis of the history of repression in the district this book is a good place to look.

With an offensive rebound with 2.1 seconds left, @washmystics.bsky.social rookie Kiki Iriafen gets her 9th rebound of the game and 247th of the season. She passes Chamique Holdsclaw for the most rebounds by a rookie in Mystics history, and she did it in one fewer game. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

The Anacostia Museum is such an important community institution in DC - where Black archives and neighborhood history have long been valued and preserved, before NMAAC. Community museums are vital and ACM deserves everyone’s support!
“The museum’s budget has been cut at $3 million and unless that changes, there is a proposal that the museum will be blended into the National Museum of African American History and Culture,” said Pannell, 74. “That would not be a good thing.”

Sydney Johnson said postgame that Shakira Austin didn't start the 3Q because she needed a bathroom break. He added, "Not only do we have the confidence, but we have the reps to play with different players and know that we can still be us. ... Super proud of Kira to reset." @thenext.bsky.social #WNBA

One thing you can do Right Now is be extremely vocal when you have librarians stocking inclusive collections. Call and tell them how happy you are, show up to board meetings. Bc the other side is *always* complaining and doing it in an organized way.

also you can donate to Lavonnia Moore here:

Right before I saw the message from Trump I got a very different one from a friend in Tehran, so deeply surrounded by bombing that he was asking me to help communicate his last wishes. This is what my own taxes fund, so much pain upon my loved ones. We are complicit in so, so, so much violence.

That process of grieving the life you thought you were going to have so you can make space for the one actually emerging is so damn real.

South Carolina wbb is the sport’s current gold standard despite yesterday’s loss and still an active dynasty, and that is all a result of Dawn Staley’s leadership. People trying to dunk on her are either insecure, don’t know ball, or most likely both, and they’re overcompensating.
I really don’t understand people dunking on Dawn Staley like her team hasn’t only lost 4 games in the last 2 years, and didn’t just win 2 championships within the last 3 years.

Deeply unserious stuff.

This continues to be my take. Anyone who looks at her at 19 and chooses someone else’s future is not to be trusted imo.
If Sarah Strong was in this draft and she didn’t go No. 1 every GM who passed on her should be arrested. I love Paige but that is a 19-year old just barely scratching the surface and she’s already absurdly good

Sarah Strong just notched her 36th game this season with double figures in scoring. That's the most by a freshman in the entire HHS database (since 2009-10). #wfinalfour

Goodnight, sweet Terrapins. You made a March memory that’ll last for the ages and gave the Gamecocks a hell of a fight today.

If you had told me in November that @terpswbb.bsky.social would lose a close Sweet 16 game to top-seed South Carolina I would have grudgingly accepted that.

If you then said we’d do that despite losing Bri McDaniel & with Sellers hobbled much of the time I’d be very impressed.

I am very impressed.
