Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence.
What a legacy.

Everything is doomscrolling right now. I get it. Have you had something to eat today? Taken your meds? Checked in with a friend?
It's important to still take care of yourself and give yourself grace. One thing at a time.

Listen, and I'm saying this for myself as well, if there are any books or articles that you want or need, go download or purchase them now before they disappear. Like right now. Like, yesterday actually.

Also I’m saying it: buy my book for Black History Month because it features the voices of incarcerated disabled girls of color. They can actually identify what can be improved in education, not these fucking bullshit exec orders.

New pub alert! Published a new piece on Black Feminist Text Selection with the brilliant Latrice Ferguson, Angela Crawford, and and @ebonyteach.bsky.social.
We draw on Black Feminist scholarship, to focus on how Black women teachers see text selection as practices of care and community building.

If anyone knows of any extra-help, substitute librarian or library worker jobs (especially in the Bay Area) please kindly send them my way! (:
I’ve applied to a couple of places, but either haven’t heard back or they went with someone else.
Long live libraries! ✨💚📚

Ok, folks. So, I've floated this idea before, but now I feel ready to try to tackle it.
Sooo, if I were to start some kind of public Global Black Studies academy with accessible content on some kind of video platform, who would want to help me?

Showing up this way is one way to show support. I've also made this for my students so they can move from fear & rage to actions. I will keep adding to it but wanted to share with you all.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Honestly seeing Him move in even the most mundane circumstances.
When I pray about something (even something silly), I know He hears me because it’ll come up in a casual conversation with an answer or a message.
I can look back over my life and see every place God has had His hand on me.
