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.

The deadline for proposals is 14 March 2025. Find out more through the link below:

I've seen posts of people explaining the show and I will not be sharing them. I don't care if you didn't get it.

If you don't get it, it's not for you. Black culture is always on display and up for the world's consumption.

You can't have it all.

of all the many terrible things that seem to be afflicting the public, the prevalence of defeatist mindsets with zero capacity for creative problem solving (or indeed the unwillingness to even *imagine* possible solutions to problems) might be the thing which freaks me out most.
Electricity generation has always felt like an impossible engineering problem. Demand has to match supply - yet we managed that with ancient, all-analog equipment for over a century.

Now we have so many more tools at our disposal. Why should this be hard?
