To clarify: Shakespeare’s “other race plays” (ORPs) are not opportunities to look for blackness, per se, as race is not a synonym for black. One larger objective of this new paradigm is to other whiteness. If an ORP is part of your pedagogy or research, look beyond blackness.

Amy Coney Barrett having adopted two black children means nothing. And there are countless stories of evangelicals adopting children and abusing them

This morning I had the privilege of speaking w/wonderful high school teachers re: #Shakespeare & race via @humanitiestexas . I did show & tell w/an assignment of mine from 9th grade; race was on my mind but my teacher didn’t foster that conversation in 1999. #RaceB4Race #ShakeRace

🪰Black fly, #racism , #Shakespeare ...got that covered in @ProfFarahKC 's Titus Andronicus: The State of Play vol., where I discuss the "various ways to interpret the entomological allegory" & the easy transferability of racism in the domestic space (nation/home) #ShakeRace 🤓✊🏿

If you’re watching #RaceB4Race from the comfort—or safety, in some cases—of your own home, etc., enjoy hearing the scholarship and having the opportunity to witness solidarity, community and community building in action. And remember: #NoPoaching 🚫 Respect #BIPOC ideas🤓

Black folks… Give yourself grace today. Find some peace today. Engage in joy today. Make sure you eat. Unclench your teeth. Take deep breaths.

🎭The first epigraph in *SHAKESPEARE'S WHITE OTHERS* is from Claudia Rankine's unpublished 🔥 play "HELP" (performed at @TheShedNY , '22) ✊🏿"This is why to stay alive, forget thriving, I need to negotiate whiteness" -C.R. 🙏🏿Claudia is one of many people who inspired my thinking

There's an incredible sense of urgency around the #antiracist work I & my colleagues do. & as Black person, Black man, in America, there's a real threat to my existence that exposes pausing as a privilege, a luxury some folks can't afford rn The ancestors did not pause #CantStop

I do not understand why people are organizing virtual academic conferences this year. This would be a perfect time to pause and read all the papers from last year’s conference and maybe also go for a long walk.

@asdurso @KeilandWCooper Great point! Thankfully, the hashtag wasn't even used correctly, at least not in the apology, which goes to show how non-important this matter is to this data collector who isn't truly paying attention. Black people are not learning opportunities, esp not for wp's mistakes.
