We created a new platform based on our Metaphor Club. We're tired of the algorithms, and we're tired of being surrounded by anti-Black racists, misogynists, homophobes, and anti-intellectuals. $99 per year, and that helps us pay servers & keep those folks out. Want in? Email: alpha1906@gmail.com

Had a great time seeing my sands for our 40th anniversary since we crossed at Cal. Our real anniversary is April 21st, but this was the closest date we could meet. Love 'em to death! #2, #3, and #6. #1 is out of the country, #2 out of town, and #5 RIP

When people with authoritarian tendencies, like the corrupt New York City mayor Eric Adams, think they're creating powerful images of law and order...but don't realize that the message conveyed is one of a single man going against an unjust system. #LuigManigone

So back in 2000, I was signing copies of the Divine Nine at the Delta convention when I hear Nikki's voice. It is unmistakeable, but the LAST voice I thought I'd every hear addressing me. She says, "Is that Lawrence Ross, the author of the Divine Nine?"
I turn and go, ye...and then I'm STUNNED

I was fortunate enough to get to know her personally, and I have some funny stories to tell. She was just a wonderful person, and absolutely gracious to me for over 20 years. This is a devastating loss. She wrote the foreword to my book, The Divine Nine.

I'm crushed.
Nikki wrote the foreword to the Divine Nine, and I also had the pleasure of spending a whole day with her at Virginia Tech about 20 years ago.
Just a wonderful person to me as a young writer, and I've never forgotten that grace.
