Happy Birthday to WEB Du Bois, who wrote about the wildly important concept of psychological wages of whiteness in the first history of Reconstruction, Black Reconstruction in America, which he messily dedicated to his mistress, Dr. Virginia Alexander, and not his wife, Nina Gomer #BookSky

If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

I treat undocumented and transgender people (among others!) in Baltimore. If you know anyone who could use my help, which is completely above board and legal (I'm not being coy, it is! and will stay that way!), please let me know.

Has ANYONE been able to get through to Senator Alsobrooks in the past week? Voicemail full, no local offices I can call, and no fax number that I can find. Do I need to strap a note to a pigeon?

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers. Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

For years I've loved the West Wing episode "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen" except for the hospital admission scene. It's just now hitting me that I hate that scene because of the attitude towards pregnancy.
