As a writer I find this comforting. We write to have conversations with people in other times and places. Books are carriers of legacy. Books are the way the dead talk to the living.

If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?

I have not read a lot of his work, only individual essays. I want to remedy that, though. So any advice appreciated. I like this piece: If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is? archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

A new way to resist? I’m in.

Thank you for this! Grief is a good container right now for these feelings. Grief and maybe regret, too, knowing it could have been a different story.

Sometimes I feel bad that I’ve given up on people, too, not just places. People caught up in toxic spaces. Since I want/need to move on, I feel bad that I’m leaving them behind, that I now, in a way, have an aversion to them. It’s complicated 😅

Glad you’re writing about this. What do we do with all these old places and spaces??!!

I feel this way about my old church. But I also feel bad about that sometimes….

Robert picked a second batch of apples off our Granny Smith tree yesterday. She’s a fierce tree living at 4,000 feet in snow & ice, deer and squirrels nibbling at her leaves & bark. This year she gave us the most apples ever! Be like Granny and stand strong; raise your voice and tell your stories 💜🍏

Nice to meet you and doing that now! My 30yo daughter is a licensed wildlife rehabber here in the woods and she will be very happy to hear there is such a thing as ecotheology 💜

What I am telling writers in my flock today: Writing is a subversive act. Writers are resistors. Use your pen, lift your voice, tell your story, don’t give up. Resist.

Ha so true. Fruit of the Spirit is a weird one that confused people.

The term definitely denotes that. But it feels dehumanizing to me. I wonder if it’s because I’m a writer first? Words have many layers of meaning to me and affect me deeply. I hadn’t thought of that as a reason before.
