I thought I knew how I'd feel if I ever witnessed police brutality. I imagined I would be sad. I knew I would be angry. Maybe tears. What I didn't account for was the psychological shock. Still processing...

Don’t even talk to me about Michael Bloomberg in 2020. I’m a black man who raised blk boys in NYC. Bloomberg’s expansion and defense of the racist stop & frisk means that his candidacy is a nonstarter for me, and I will remind EVERY black person of his record. #NeverGonnaHappen

#BlackLivesMatter and this is ALL black lives. We’re not picking and choosing. That’s not how it works. This includes our BLACK trans family. Especially our trans sisters who need our protection!!! We are stronger together. I love y’all!

Revising a dissertation on black revolutionary women and their negotiations of radical traditions and heterosexual, romantic partnerships has always been challenging, and my questions and motivations are shifting in this current moment of awakening...

Today I'm sitting with twitter's discussion on whether or not to capitalize the B in black. I don't capitalize the letter B unless the word black starts a sentence. In short: a capital B is inflexible and blackness is deliberately excessive

If capital B Black is a political identity with roots in liberation+nationalist traditions, do I engage with the embedded patriarchal practices? Is it ethical to decide that my black women narrators, who are always becoming, must be confined on the page to those traditions?
