"My chest constricts with the enormity of my gratitude for his existence and joy. And, as I have often done in the last 100 days, I think of Gaza."

This is the 2nd anniversary of the start of a genocide that made Gaza the most dangerous place on earth for children— that has raised a mirror to the rot at the core of our world.

Never has it been clearer that none of us are free until Palestine is free.

I’m looking at what Black women artists did in their thirties.

Lucille Clifton published Good Times at 32.

Toni Morrison published The Bluest Eye at 39.

So glad that I set up these one-on-one meetings during week 7. 1) we all needed the break, 2) students seem to really enjoy the course so far (even though the readings can be dense), 3) I have a much better picture about how I will handle the rest of the semester 😀

DocLB2 @doclb2.bsky.social · 1d

Today, in lieu of class, I'm holding one-on-one sessions with my graduate Contemporary Theory students. I'm looking forward to their response to the course thus far and happy to have a break from some pretty dense reading 📚 but super excited to read Fanon and Cèasaire next week! /1

The film-maker is talking about the killing of Ajike “AJ” Owens, a black woman shot dead by her white neighbour in Florida two years ago. Gandbhir first came to the case in a personal capacity, as 35-year-old Owens was a family friend.
