This is the Playwrights’ Center, which first brought me out from NY to Minneapolis on a writing fellowship. It was where I taught, learned, developed work and had a great time for years. I’m so proud of them for holding the line on DEI, despite the risk. Donating some $$ right now!

Hilariously, an account which approached me on DMs and asked where I was from has now blocked me! @maxwelldavidd or sumpn like that. Seems to have taken offense when I referred them to my Wikipedia article for that info.

You know a book is good when you find yourself just standing reading in the middle of your bathroom because you couldn't put it down long enough to brush your teeth for bed (in this case @nisishawl.bsky.social 's latest #sci-fi, Making Amends). #booksky #readabook #bookrec

When I was growing up it was with the rule there were only 2 schools that would train Black doctors Howard and Meharry. I was also told a B would eliminate me from medical school

Only 2 white doctors accepted Black patients in my Midwestern hometown, population 100,000. When I was a kid. Only 2. How's that not supposed to have a lasting impact? Must have been at least 5000 of us.

tl;dr version: Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat was 100% intentional and a culmination of extensive civil rights theory that she had studied, being put into practice

I have warm and humorous memories of my family running laps in Costco to get free samples. Didn’t matter what the samples were for b/c my family was lining up for that shit. Gonna get a membership this weekend.
