I spoke on @BAMRadioNetwork with some fellow educators about the state of reading and left surprisingly optimistic. If we make reading a social activity, will it become easier to turn off tech and sink into a book, like we used to?

Killer review of Jerald Walker's new book MAGICALLY BLACK in @therumpus.net this month. While you're there, read the interview I did with him in 2017 about his masterpiece, THE WORLD IN FLAMES: A Black Boyhood in a White Supremacist Doomsday Cult! His childhood was bananas as it sounds.

Dorothy Allison 💔
She was a lesbian feminist writer when we were a demographic no one wanted to hear from. She did it her way, all the way through. A profound influence.
