There is an Op Ed about Toni Morrison that doesn’t engage with her actual work written by (white) people who don’t seem to have read her actual work.
Folks waited for her to be dead a good while before acting up.

I finally made it to the later seasons of The Walking Dead and while I am not happy they keep killing my favorite characters, eventually Samantha Morton shows up in an ashy bald cap and I’m…I’m here for it.
I also need all context before watching Daryl’s spin-off.
Open antique book showing the engraved frontispiece portrait of Phillis Wheatley on the left page. The right page reads: “MEMOIR AND POEMS OF PHILLIS WHEATLEY, A NATIVE AFRICAN AND A SLAVE. ALSO, POEMS BY A SLAVE. THIRD EDITION. BOSTON, PUBLISHED BY ISAAC KNAPP, No. 25 Cornhill. 1838.” Beneath the main title is a short abolitionist verse beginning “Some view the sable race with scornful eye…”
Oval portrait engraving of Phillis Wheatley, a young Black woman, seated at a writing desk in profile. She wears a simple 18th-century dress with white neckerchief and cap, thoughtfully touching her chin with one hand while holding a quill pen over paper with the other. An inkwell and small book rest on the table. Surrounding the oval is the caption: “PHILLIS WHEATLEY, NEGRO SERVANT TO MR. JOHN WHEATLEY, OF BOSTON.”
Phillis Wheatley, first published African-American female poet, died #OTD in 1784.
Born in W. Africa, sold into slavery at 7 & one of the best-known poets in 18th-century America. Her achievements were a catalyst for the fledgling antislavery movement.

Shit, Free Santa.
Promise I’m not a bot, just a very late join to a new blue hellscape.
I’m here for the writing and publishing tings. I consulted the girls and the girls said everyone moved to bsky.
I’m just settling in! 😁
