This reminds me, I wanted to talk about crypto. Just like there's a push to get everyday people gambling, there's a push to get regular people really into crypto. . . Same grift.

Yoooooo, our pastors @stillnaima.bsky.social and @solomonmissouri.bsky.social and showed up and showed OUT for my class yesterday. Brilliant and incisive of course--we know that's what they do. Also warm, generous, and with a word for a time such as this. Easily the highlight of the year for me.

If you could ask Solomon or Naima something about their work, or about how they see Black life online, what would you ask them? If I mention your question in our session later, I might send you a book from my library :)

This is one of my all time favorite threads from our digital pastor. Excited to talk about this and all things where Black oral traditions and digital cultures connect with @solomonmissouri.bsky.social and @stillnaima.bsky.social this afternoon!
