Love this interview with @vashtiharrison.bsky.social and Traci N. Todd in PW. So much of this conversation is relatable— smothered pork chops, Aaron Douglas paintings, and Afrofuturism. #BookSky #BlackSky #childrensbooks www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Past, Present, Future: Traci N. Todd and Vashti Harrison in Conversation

We invited Traci N. Todd and Vashti Harrison to discuss their new picture book collaboration, That You Are Here Is No Small Thing, an evocative exploration of the history of Black Americans.

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

If these elections had gone the other way — if the Democratic Party had underperformed or even lost one of these contests — then every commentator under the sun would say, rightfully, that Democrats were in disarray; that even the president’s deep unpopularity couldn’t keep them afloat with voters. But Tuesday was a Democratic victory. And the party didn’t just win — it won by commanding majorities on virtually every field of play. In polls, in focus groups and now at the ballot box, the public is telling us something very clearly: Trump is simply too much. If this is an opportunity for Democrats to win back lost ground — and it is — then it is also a warning to a Republican Party that has tied its entire identity to the man from Mar-a-Lago.

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

The Value of Joy

By canceling Joy Reid’s cable news show, MSNBC has not only silenced a brilliant host: It’s silenced the next Black voice you haven’t yet heard.

Heart. Hair. Hands. #bhm days 4,5 and 6. Black History Month might need to last all year for me to do these posts, but I’m ok w/that. We’re gonna need some timeline cleanses over the next couple months. Take a break from doomscrolling and look at these cuties inspired by my recent school visits.
