Black Twitter is legendary. Iconic. Hilarious. A testament to social media movements ability to create change. So this talk on the @urbanreadsbooks.bsky.social stage about it looks pretty good.

Sinners is a good movie. A really good movie. So knowing there's a talk about the movie and its use of hoodoo is gonna be great. Plus, a fellow Terp is on the panel!

As the genocide in Palestine continues, it's important to hear from the youth about their conditions, their humanity, and their dreams. They are not numbers; Free Palestine.
