“It does not occur to Williams to ask why a Fortune 100 company would solicit a lecture from Thomas Chatterton Williams, a Black public intellectual who, just like Kendi, tells people how to feel about race for a living.” www.vulture.com/article/post...

Read news, op-eds, and analysis, not AI summaries. Create your own art (even if it's messy) or hire an artist to do it. Do your own homework. Talk to people, not chatbots. Keep your thinking and skills sharp and cherish our messy humanity. That's the new punk rock.

Strikingly, the only group that responded en mass and IMMEDIATELY to the neo-Nazi march this weekend in Columbus was a group of black men.
Everyone else? Oh, they put out statements. Black men linked arms and marched the NEXT day.
And this is why I say “Godspeed” to everyone who ain’t us.

been meaning to read this. perhaps time to bump up the reading list queue #blackbooksky
Currently reading. The more I get through, the more I can’t blame Trump’s win on his base being dumb. They know what they’re doing. They just don’t give a damn y’all. #blacksky #blackbooksky
