As universities prepare to commemorate ā€œMartin Luther Kingā€ Day, often hosting celebrity keynoters and paying them handsome sums of money, let’s not forget King’s fierce commitment to eradicating poverty or that he was killed in Memphis, where he went to march w/garbage workers.

This may not seem like the most dangerous thing we face, but it's one of the warning signs of fascism and...wait for it...genocide. The cult of antiquity & the imposition of monuments to a nation's mythical glorious past precede both of those disasters. nyti.ms/2H0nDob

Does this weird logic apply to anything else? donā€˜t raise the minimum wage, what will those who worked for low wages before think? Don’t end child labor, what abt all the children before who toiled? no to affordable housing, think of all who have paid for unaffordable housing

Silliness tweet: one of the best film expressions of black joy is the dance off in House Party. I still have good, fun, and scary dreams about an epic house party I hosted in high school.

Also nightmares and regrets about another that didn’t happen because I got busted. At the time I wasn’t fond of parents. They were right. Sigh. (But they didn’t understand fun!)
