“Nature is just so damn sure of itself.” Discovering how we can do better do different. Care and feeding the queers calling out fascists, gaslighters and haters. Enjoying life in the tropics. All life breathes as one.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Please make these calls to your two US Senators and your House rep. (Script below). The national security breach we learned about this week was SHOCKING & unacceptable. It should be disqualifying for both Hegseth & Waltz. But they’re hoping it will blow over.
Don’t let it blow over. 🙏😡

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors.
I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
