I once heard @tressiemcphd say that the best scholars are good storytellers. All of my favorite sociologists were ones who wrote the South. I wanted to follow in that tradition & use storytelling to bear witness on NC to use words honestly, beautifully . https://t.co/OCUNf5Qq2R

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in @the_rumpus & with the brilliant @rgay's edits. Mamdani’s win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects it? https://t.co/nLmzONAIg5
I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

Black Studies would like a word
In a new quantum experiment, scientists saw something that challenges everything we think we know about time. Instead of flowing forward like a river, time seemed to loop and fold back on itself. Particles behaved as if their future could affect their past, blurring the line

This year I wrote a book about how Columbus colonized the Caribbean in 1492 - not what is now the US mainland. My book DARK LABORATORY celebrates Kalinago survivance and the African agrarian x aquatic traditions people like my ancestors who were enslaved brought to the region.

A lot of academia is just folks trying to perform being smart like long irrelevant questions after talks, unnecessarily critical reviews, & sounding like a journal article in social settings when folks just chilling. There are different ways of being interesting in these settings

Colonialism was not just theft. It was the invention of a moral language to make theft look like salvation.

I never once saw Kirk change his mind based on an argument a student shared with him nor saw students that disagreed with him leave feeling empowered. Stop passing off his debates as promoting mutual understanding when it was simply about win-lose clickbait material.

Just because you debate a lot, doesn’t mean you are good at it.

Kirk justified gun deaths in America & spoke horribly about the dead if they had different beliefs than him. The right holds the rest of us to a higher moral standard than Kirk, while comparing him to Jesus. It’s a shame they think so low of the legacy of Christ.

Im not sure if white Americans ask their grandparents what they did when Black people were hung & denied into their schools. But when the little ones in my family grow up, i hope they are concerned enough to ask me what I did when America funded a genocide & I give a brave answer
