We ALL need a hug!  Black men are in crisis. We need a new game plan for emotional intimacy – one that reimagines how we can support each other and our mental health by @davidstampsii bostonglobe.com/2023/06/15/opi… via @The_Emancipator

“They celebrated my hard-earned accomplishments with multiple hugs and kisses, despite living in a society that said a Black boy from St. Louis was not enough. Maybe I can model healthy behaviors for them…” David Stamps The Boston Globe bostonglobe.com/2023/06/15/opi…

David Stamps remembers his father’s tough love like it was yesterday, but over the years, his dad has come to embrace emotions and intimacy with his son. “It seems small but feels much larger,” Stamps writes in The Emancipator. Read his piece here: bostonglobe.com/2023/06/15/opi…

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

Affirmative action gutted. Black, Ethnic, LGBTQ+ & Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies attacked. The fall of Roe. Banning books. Banning ideologies coined by Black Feminists. And y’all want Black academics to go on as business as usual? Nah.

AAPI fam….the Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action is a bad one. Our community is harmed by it. Don’t let anyone fool you. “Ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal…Equality requires acknowledgment of inequality.” Justice Sotomayor

"While Ms. Smith has laid the groundwork for her new venture, she has yet to carry out her plans." HOW THEN DOES THE COURT ISSUE AN OPINION GIVEN THAT NOTHING HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED?????!!!!!!

Supreme Court's Fourteenth Amendment: - DOES NOT allow for race-conscious measures to remedy widespread structural discrimination; - DOES allow bigots to refuse service to minority groups so long as the bigotry is sincere

Between 2011 and 2022 alone, Black land-grant universities lost nearly $200 million in resources because states declined to provide them with matching funds while fully funding predominantly white universities, a new report notes. chroni.cl/3KeYze8

You know what’s harder than writing…editing. What was I thinking last month when I wrote this draft. 🤦🏽‍♂️ #AcademicTwitter #writerslife

Don’t come to Maui. Cancel your planned vacations. Survivors need the hotel rooms. Give our community time to grieve and heal.

People aren’t going hungry because we cannot feed the poor. People are going hungry because we cannot satisfy the rich.

The rule of 5: You can be as knowledgable as the top 20% of the people working in a field just by reading the top 5 books or research papers in that field.
