I hate when people argue so loud their argument pushes its way into your home but they can’t enunciate.

Do you want an audience yes or no?

Because Rory has been parentified by Lorelai and put on a pedestal by the entire town I think she looks for men she has to prove her worth to just to feel something.

I think Lorelai got rid of Max because he could hold his own in arguments with her. He could also keep his cool & communicate in a timely fashion unlike Emily. Lorelai left Max because she’d be held accountable. He wasn’t perfect but he wasn’t an enabler like everyone else.

Checked the mail and found the new issue of Callaloo, the Journal of African Diaspora Arts & Letters that focuses on Black Appalachia and features my thesis, Elegance Is Refusal. Thank you @crystalwilki.bsky.social for including me!

Dean was right to breakup with Rory, and he should’ve stayed broken up. I don’t even like the boy but Rory was always gaslighting him. She’s completely bought into the myth of her goodness & would rather gaslight than hold an unflattering truth. Boo

Consider yourself to have been blessed to be alive in any kind of overlap with Nikki Giovanni, May Allah be pleased with her.

She has left her voice with us. This is one of my favorites.

A powerful artist and activist. Just everything about this woman and her poetry was good and clean and straight truth. She pushed us. She’d cut you and then smile to show that she’d done it with love.
Rest in Peace and Power Nikki Giovanni.

I actually think the politics of the assassin have almost no bearing here. We’ve seen the class consciousness of the response and his incoherent beliefs do little to nothing to change that.

I'm not convinced that the politics of the killer matter more than the politics of the act.
