As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also equating diversity with incompetence.

President Trump has promised a “colorblind and merit-based” society, while also aligning himself with those who are brandishing the term DEI as a catchall for discrimination against white people, and using it as a pejorative to attack nonwhite and female leaders as unqualified for their positions.

You know that I’ve been working to assemble my list of trusted media sources. Perhaps Wired is one.

Commonplace Books Are Like a Diary Without the Risk of Annoying Yourself (Published 2022) I keep a journal of quotes, lines from songs, poetry. Nothing is my original thought — but all of it struck me as meaningful when I wrote it down.

I just discovered commonplace books and I am obsessed. Anyone else do this?

The Real Work of Being an Ally Supporting the people who need it most.

I wrote this eight years ago. Being an ally requires action. Many folks who claim to support marginalized people emphatically do not.

Friend! I’ve missed you! ❤️

Do not ask that women of color choose one of our identities to fight for first. Freedom is wholeness. We get to be our whole selves. Our whole selves deserve to be free.

Heeeyyyyyy! ::waves::

I attended a performance by poet Tasha Jones. At a point in the show she stands in front of a screen baring the names of 100 murdered Black people. Trayvon. Tamir. Breana. The Emmanuel nine. It is a gut punch realizing how quickly America grew bored of pretending to care about racism or Black death.

I'm quitting Instagram. You should too. Mark Zuckerberg's horrible changes for Instagram — and Facebook — have become untenable, writes Lennon Torres.

My first book's sales were buoyed by blogs and mainstream media, while my second gained traction through Bookstagram. I felt adrift on my third release last year and have no clue what book promotion may look like moving forward. And I say this as someone with 25+ years of marketing experience.

That is true. But I am so concerned with how these platforms are being used as tools of misinformation and manipulation. I am uncertain whether I can spread enough truth and hope to beat the algorithm. At what point, by maintaining an account, am I just abetting the thing that is destroying us?

I ditched X and TikTok. My gut tells me to divest from Meta, too. How do I keep connections with amazing people that I cannot interact with in person regularly? As an author, what do book promotion and a writer's platform look like w/out supportive mainstream media and post-Twitter, IG, and TikTok?

On this dark day it's crucial to follow #feminist journalists, activists, scholars, artists, and comics who help us understand our structural problems and offer solutions--roadmaps toward freedom, justice.

After years of enjoying social media, it feels like someplace I'd rather not be. (Bluesky aside.) But I am conflicted. As an author, social media feels like a space where I MUST be.

I'm terrified by the rise of organized disinformation. Increasingly, it feels like most public communication is less about informing and engaging and more about inciting, inflaming and manipulating. What does it look like to reject this? What do we avoid? What do we support?

Nikki Giovanni By Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein The Martian Nikki Giovanni was born in 1943 in Knoxville, Tennessee, and she has spent a lifetime instructing her people on how to return to our place amongst the stars, reminding us that this is a journey we know. It is in the births and deaths of stars that most of what we are is made. From carbon for us carbon-based life-forms, to the uranium that troubles us politically: it is all produced in the stars and the spectacular endings of stars more massive than our sun, supernovae. The cosmos is part of the Black aesthetic that Nikki Giovanni contributed to the fabric of the Black Arts Movement. Giovanni speaks for the universe when she says in "Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why), "My bowels deliver uranium." And over and over in her work and her interviews, Giovanni has riffed on what the journey to Mars might entail, how the Middle Passage can teach us about completing it, how the visions and dreams of Black women and caregivers can teach us why we should bother in the first place. As a Black woman theoretical particle cosmologist and astrophysicist who also likes to write, I delight in the North eed that the body of this extraordinary poet's work has offered me. There are of this extrack loving reasons to study and go ace-mining
