Folks have been tweeting about the complicity of folks who work(ed) w/ #RKelly like @ladygaga or Jay Z. Can we add some accountability calls for @macklemore & @RyanLewis whose 2012 song Thrift Shop says “Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets (Pisssssss)”
By #accountability here I mean public acknowledgement that they made light of & profited off R. Kelly’s documented abuse of minors? Perhaps donating some profits for that song to sexual assault prevention organizations? #SurvivingRKelly #MeToo
And before yall be like “omg it was so long ago/a joke” In a 2013 interview about the lyric Mack said: “R. Kelly to me is the G.O.A.T. of R&B. I wrote that line in 2008 when that line was actually relevant. [If I meet him], I’m gonna be like, ‘Man, I’m so sorry’...He’s a genius.”
Full interview and quote here: rap-up.com/2013/07/11/mac…

Alright yall, #2019 is the year I speak more things into existence, so I’m just gonna say it: @HugoAwards nominations are open. My book #BodymindsReimagined is eligible for Best Related Work as an academic work on speculative fiction. Praying someone who can nominate sees this.
#BodymindsReimagined is an accessible academic text from @DukePress on (dis)ability, race & gender in black women’s speculative fiction like that of @OctaviaEButler, @nkjemisin & @Nalo_Hopkinson. Twitter, do your thing & bring me a #Hugo nomination for Best Related Work. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Need more evidence? Here’s an unsolicited @goodreads review in which the person says they got a date after telling someone about my book. So I’m not saying reading & nominating #BodymindsReimagined will get you dates but I’m not saying that’s NOT what will happen either...

Good morning world. The semester is creeping up on me so I think it’s time to get back to doing daily work #goals! I know today is Saturday but I’ve been caretaking all week so I’m working today.
Today’s #goals:
-Catch up on email
-Prepare one lecture start to finish (read the readings, write lecture, make PowerPoint, integrate with @tophat & practice for timing)
-Meet with co-author to outline our next article
-Read primary sources for 1hr
For folks who are new to my account, I do these daily #goals most days during the semester in line with the practices of @NCFDD which helps faculty be more productive while maintaining work/life balance. Highly recommend to all academics (esp if your institution will pay!).

Anyone who can look back at their 16 year old self and be like “yup, I totally had the reasoning abilities of an adult” does not currently have adult reasoning abilities. 16 year olds are not adults. That’s not what age of consent means.
Addition: even if we accept the premise that a 16 y/o can reason like an adult. No one can make reasonable decisions w/out adequate information. MANY American teens do not get quality comprehensive #sexed in order to make educated sexual choices.
We can’t claim teens “can make their own choices” when we limit their knowledge of their options, including info on communicating & listening to boundaries. This means quality sex ed for all genders & sexualities. Until we have better sex ed, no teen can make adult sexual choices

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

POS trash George Zimmerman made menacing threats to Beyoncé & Jay-Z during filming of “Rest in Power: Trayvon Martin Story”
In a series of texts, Zimmerman called Beyoncé a “broke whore” & promised she & Jay would “find themselves inside a 13 foot gator.” theblast.com/george-zimmerm…
Texts were sent when Zimmerman was contacted by Dennis Warren, private investigator who tracked down potential participants for series
Warren found himself on receiving end of hundreds of harassing texts/voicemails from Zimmerman, who killed 17 yr old Trayvon Martin in cold blood
Zimmerman sent similar texts to Michael Gasparro, who executive produced series with Jay-Z.

Zimmerman messaged Gasparro with the producer’s own address, told him members of the Genovese crime family, a powerful organized mafia family, were looking for him.

In a yearlong pursuit of money and influence, Elliot Broidy & George Nader played Middle East countries against each other, as they leveraged connections stretching from Persian Gulf palaces to the Oval Office into millions of dollars in contracts.
Nader & Broidy pushed the interests of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates at the highest levels of the U.S. government.
