On weekends, I read. Today, I am left w/ these words, "In our cynical world, we have to learn to pay more attention to ourselves & those who are important to us. But we also have to fight injustice and cruelty if we are to hold on to our humanity and...do our part to build a better world."

-10..and below wind chills is no joking matter. Schools need to stop playing politics & consider well being of children & staff. E-learning or closing for the day is not a sign of weakness. School should not be the sole child care solution. Skip the histrionics about this. #PeopleOverPolitics

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.” MLK Jr

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

You have every right to reevaluate your circles, and distance yourself from people who have revealed their true selves this season. It’s okay to leave toxicity behind and build communities around you in 2025 that lead with love, justice, and truth.

My favorite collection of hers. Her writing was so funny, and so sincerely radiant with love. Even the tough love was tender on the inside. #NikkiGiovanni #Ancestor #BlackBookSky #BookSky

Racists are tragically mediocre people. There is not a single human who ever existed who shared the characteristics of being extraordinary as well as being racist. Because a central driving force behind racism is an inability to cope with mediocrity
