"Soweto-born dancer and choreographer Dada Masilo passed on Dec 29 after a brief illness at 39.
She pushed boundaries, reinterpreting classic ballets with African dance motifs. Her bold and fearless approach led to collaborations with renowned artists, including William Kentridge & Gregory Maqoma."

I appreciate this because this essay is not in "The Source of Our Self Regard", or in "Burn the Book" which Morrison edited and which has several esssys by other writers in this vein.

Saw a powerful pair of works by Ayana V. Jackson this week.
An Afrofuturist response
to the history of the Atlantic slave trade, Jackson created the images on the coast of South Africa by posing as an inhabitant of Drexciya in dress made of Ghanaian currency.

Not really a resolution but I'm resolving to be better about using the things I buy for myself but have never used for whatever reason.
Example: my previous job had a really strict 'no scents' policy. Great in theory and practice unless you're a Black girl with specific hair needs 😅

I think if you’re a young person (or an older person frankly) considering some kind of creative project, the state of the world is more or less “fuck it we ball” like, you might as well

You know what I miss? Writing.
Back when I was more seriously reading tarot as a way to build a little side career, I was blogging more regularly about my practice, tying my readings to life's happenings. There's a part of me that screams out to do it again, but I probably won't -

The way my sinuses decided to just be a nuisance today is honestly unreal.
Sneezing fits, sinus pressure and the occasional nasal drip. Just the worst!

The grace you give to others, The benefit of the doubt you always have for others; let’s start to extend that to ourselves. You are trying to figure things out internally while making a living. You are Balancing daily. Learning daily. Experiencing daily- life isn’t easy, so stop beating yourself up

Folks, *please* take this chance to materially support Palestinian work + voices + dreams. Dreams on a Pillow could not be more necessary. I'm so moved by Rasheed's creativity, perseverance, ingenuity. This industry and this world don't deserve him, but I'm so grateful that he's here with us 💪🍉
After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.
I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share!
