Remember when we were told they weren't opposing the teaching of Black history, just "CRT"? And how many dismissed those of us who said these laws were anti-history laws, and anti-Black? Perhaps one day folks will listen to those who know. thedailybeast.com/desantis-block…

So. As of today, I am unable to follow any other twitter accounts. I am not following the company’s limit of 5,000. I haven’t recently followed a bunch of accounts. So what’s going on?

This year is quite something so far. I wish that I were going to make it to NYC to celebrate this beautiful news: I'm this year's recipient of the C.D. Wright Award for Poetry. I am honored to join a remarkable list of women artists so honored. foundationforcontemporaryarts.org/grants/cd-wrig…
