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!).

I am not questioning @shaunking’s race. I am not questioning that he has done some good work. I AM questioning how he handles critique & calls for accountability from other black activists & radicals. I AM questioning how he has decided to use his power.
I AM suspicious of his doubling down with lawyers plus screenshots plus tagging. I AM disappointed that no matter how many of us say “Hey, is this how you wanna handle this? Is this how you lead?” he has left up these tweets. He has not examined his abuse of power.
How people respond when hurt or angry or afraid reveals a lot. We are asking for humility, accountability & real leadership that doesn’t rely on silencing, domination, coercion, violence or the prison-industrial complex (including cops & lawyers).

Being black in America is wanting to defend #ShaunKing from racists while critiquing him & calling him in on his abuse of power/influence toward other black people. Being black in America means knowing that white people will delight any time black folks fight.
Being black in America means knowing that black folks do harm to each other & we are inclined to ignore that harm too long to keep up appearances for white folks.
Being black in America means recognizing that we have all learned & internalized white surpremacist heteropatriarchal modes of relating that hold us back & working daily to learn new ways of being. But white supremacy gives us no time, space or privacy to do that work.

Black folks only. Seriously, I only want to talk to black ppl on this: What is going on with #ShaunKing? Why would anyone with his influence & power go after other black cultural workers asking for his accountability like he’s doing? Something doesn’t smell right here to me
I get that no one wants to feel accused. I get it’s hard to be in the spotlight. But he knows what tagging & screenshotting folks like this will do. One is a black queer woman college student apparently? Anyone who uses their power in this way is suspect to me. #ISupportClarissa
To be clear this isn’t a quick smart @rgay style troll smackdowm, this is a public mini meltdown/tirade targeting other black activists...I just...What in the hell? Remember yall, I’m talking to #BlackTwitter here.

Good morning world
That's Robert Stack belting back a bottle of bourbon driving past his oil wells in an Allard J2, in 'Written on the Wind" (1956). For my money, 10x the Texas soap opera potboiler of "Giant"
Also features untamed vixen Dorothy Malone in a Woofill Wildfire, hubba hubba hubba

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈

Good morning! If you’re just tuning in to #VA05 because of @Denver4VA’s penchant for #Bigfoot erotica, there are some more things you should know:

1/
.@Denver4VA has never condemned or distanced himself from his unrepentant racist running mate @CoreyStewartVA. Not only is Corey a carpetbagger neo-Confederate, his campaign office is a jobs program for white supremacists. 2/
Cville and Albemarle have the highest insurance premiums in the nation thanks to Trump’s healthcare sabotage. @Denver4VA has no plan to help #VA05 families and doesn’t seem to care. 3/

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Good morning everyone, especially @JullyBlack, who gathered up Jeanne Beker's colonizing ass with the force of a Jabari bark on national television.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
