#Wicked and finally, you see, Glenda chooses to align herself with regimes of oppression and patriarchy fully aware of its ultimate goals for social destruction! My body shook—angry but not surprised but ultimately recognizing Elphaba justice theology.

#Wicked For me, Glenda is the most disturbing because she represents so many people we know. Performative allyship, performative everything. Is she the new “Karen.” Yes, but much worse. She sings unity in your face but in the end she still chooses against the wellness of everyone. Sounds familiar?

#wicked is timely, sobering. The logics of other represents those on the social margins. Yet the greatest hope has always been courage of the heart against greed and betrayal—so much betrayal. Let’s not downplay those who play in our face & gaslight us, including Glenda.

Los Angeles, my city, is doing the work.

Michigan leads in these efforts nationally. Yet, NYT journalists & conservative opponents headily weaponize Black students' experiences with anti-black racism, in American and everywhere, against efforts at Michigan. Shame on the NYTs. #DEIB #Michigan #UniversityofMichigan #SocialJustice

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, TDOR, Speaker Johnson, enacts transphobia Bathroom policy, rehearsing fears and both scapegoating and vilifying and *dehumanizing* our Trans Sibs!

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Dear Queer person,

Breathe and walk slowly today.

Dear Queer Person,
Don’t let the times gaslight you. You matter. You are unique. Breathe deeply. Google Audre Lorde. She loves you.
