The way I just almost signed off this professional email with all Black women sistah-scholars with “Happy Holidays” smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

I'd rather see a Rolling Stone cover story about what their editors said 35 years ago when writers approached them about covering *Straight Outta Compton*, N.W.A, and hip-hop, in general, AND why they weren't hiring Black writers in 1988. Give me the 35th anniversary of *that*.

“Perhaps the only rapper to publicly call out Lanez, and stand by his words, is Bun B. “We have to protect our Black women, and any Black man that doesn’t feel the same way is not my brother””

Two hours before the Montgomery brawl, these ladies held a ceremony at that same location, honoring the ancestors. There is power in ancestral healing.

Gentle reminder: Keke ain’t said sh*t. ALL of this happened because BooBoo the Fool chose to air out his hurt feelings on Twitter instead of texts. Then doubled down publicly. Then deleted Twitter & came back. And now has “a source” (his mama) talking to people.com

This week in academia, everyone has rediscovered they have an email account. It’s an email frenzy. Is your away message still on? Are we still technically “away”? Send help. 😵‍💫 #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

Yo, this is preaching. Delayed not denied has been my entire life. Now, working as hard as a can as a “small fish in a big pond” I felt this. I’m tired and often looked over—but we press on.

Exquisite essay: "I will never question the merits of rest. But in the hands of liberalism, rest and self-care has become highly individualized, reduced to a choice which shifts the burden away from the very institutions who steal our time/energy/resources in the first place..."

Me every time I see a black person pop up on the TL with a NASA headshot.

March 19-28 @blkperspectives is hosting a forum called "The Books, Archives, and Monuments That Shaped Me," which brings together scholars to discuss foundational books, historical monuments, and archival documents that have inspired them to be historians. loom.ly/MfUaKY4

Justice for Juelz, whew The Trust on Netflix is a mess! And I definitely hate a few of the people on here. Sadly, most of the women on the show are 😵‍💫😵‍💫

This is not a real place. 🙈

The fact that a competent and qualified Black woman has to go up for a job against a clearly incompetent and unhinged man is such a spot on representation of so much of the experience of being a Black woman in this world #Debate2024
