The murder is horrific and traumatizing enough but for us black and brown folks the breathless "this doesn't happen here" / "this is beyond the pale" *compounds* the grief

If the U.S. can afford foreign land grabs, it can afford to feed children and keep people alive. The priorities are rotten.

It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

It pains me when I see women journalists share their work prefaced by “I wrote a thing.”

I used to do that. I don’t do it anymore.

Don’t minimize or trivialize your own work.

There are enough men willing to do that for you.

My latest book The Starseekers is out today! And in a twist it’s oddly topical despite being set in the 1960s.

NASA, student protests, humans vs computers, education, PBS, and museum heist are a few themes I can easily match to current headlines.

Which makes it’s fun and very interesting 😅!
