The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

It's a #Nickleback and chill kind of evening...hopefully that soothes this #disturbedspirit. Also, does #Canada want to adopt a poetess? #notaskingforafriend

Is this the equivalent of buying a huge truck to make up for certain inadequacies? Investing billions in AI because you lack it yourself? 🤦🏻‍♀️

When I see trees in winter I think how the branches represent the paths we all take and how no matter which one we choose, it eventually comes to an end. Slightly morbid 😂 but true. #photography #NatureLovers #trees

I'm sure many of my daily poems will be the capture of this moment in history, which I hate because I'd rather write about the glint of sunlight on dragonfly wings or the sweetest hugs from my grandson every morning. 💔
