People outside Black circles in Hollywood don’t know these women’s names and have no idea how much they’ve done for the culture.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

My feed is full of political analysis, so I'm going to try to post good news where I can find it. Good things still happen! It's nice to have a reminder. Here's one story: Harriet Tubman was made a general yesterday. I had no idea she led an armed military operation. www.axios.com/2024/11/12/h...

Just to make this point to my followers: Trump can’t just make a department out of thin air. The Constitution clearly states that departments must be created by law, I.e., by Congress. The necessary and proper clause supplements Congress’s power here. This “department” would be unconstitutional.

It was my privilege to attend Fanshen Cox's keynote address at the 2024 UW- Madison Diversity Forum. Her work to make Hollywood a more inclusive industry is inspiring, and her experience and advice will, I think, greatly aid UW's efforts to build a more diverse and inclusive community.

Booked a speaking gig pre-election and shared a preview of the content. All good. Post election was asked not to mention whiteness, privilege or social justice - and ‘instead’ to keep it uplifting. Since speaking truth IS uplifting, turned it down immediately. Here. We. Go.

My trip to UW Madison was so fruitful. Fortunate to learn from folx doing the work in academia that Hollywood will benefit from having exposure to (if I can help it). Onwards ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾

Please use alt-text on your images, and if you need reminders, you can go into your settings & activate the option to have it automatically require you to add alt-text before it'll let you post. Let's keep this place meaningfully accessible.

Pro Tip: On BlueSky, you can go into accessibility settings and make it so you are REQUIRED to put alt text on any image you upload. As someone who easily forgets thing, I HIGHLY encourage this. It has made sure all my posts are accessible, which is so so so important!

We’ve updated our map of extremists, white supremacists, and people who have committed hate crimes in our community. We’ve got threepers, and some GDL/Cuckwork crew dipshits around here. Two of the threepers took down their flags after we first shared our map. 🤣

If you want to support the organizations that provide the resources to respond to the current moment, these are the publications, research collectives, and nonprofit organizations that monitor, research, and provide analysis on the far right and extremist movements. go.bsky.app/Cyy1oTg

6 months ago I agreed to give a keynote at a diversity forum in Wisconsin w/out thinking of the timing. Traveling there from LA I am right back to 2016 - stomach turning in the airport knowing I’m surrounded by people who voted for him. Grateful for the reminder I’m not alone. #AddtoBlackSky
