When @danhf.bsky.social shared with me his idea for a special issue on The Dark Fantastic, I was surprised, honored & (truly) shy about it all. My dear colleagues @srtoliver.bsky.social & @autumnadia.bsky.social have curated an incredible issue here. Grateful to SR, Autumn, Dan, Gerry & SFFTV! 🖤✨🎬

I ❤️ this so much. Some of my very best friends are folks in my generation-ish of scholars. In no particular order: @heidihadley.bsky.social, @autumnadia.bsky.social, @nrdz.bsky.social, Rebecca Linares, Sharim Hannegan-Martinez, Josh Coleman. I admire those who came before, too, but these my aces!

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.

Everything is doomscrolling right now. I get it. Have you had something to eat today? Taken your meds? Checked in with a friend? It's important to still take care of yourself and give yourself grace. One thing at a time.

Listen, and I'm saying this for myself as well, if there are any books or articles that you want or need, go download or purchase them now before they disappear. Like right now. Like, yesterday actually.

Also I’m saying it: buy my book for Black History Month because it features the voices of incarcerated disabled girls of color. They can actually identify what can be improved in education, not these fucking bullshit exec orders.

New pub alert! Published a new piece on Black Feminist Text Selection with the brilliant Latrice Ferguson, Angela Crawford, and and @ebonyteach.bsky.social. We draw on Black Feminist scholarship, to focus on how Black women teachers see text selection as practices of care and community building.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Honestly seeing Him move in even the most mundane circumstances. When I pray about something (even something silly), I know He hears me because it’ll come up in a casual conversation with an answer or a message. I can look back over my life and see every place God has had His hand on me.

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges. Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition. Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.
