Man, the dude who inspired my post and all these years of hate had some good advice amongst the snark and bad advice. My editor, who was also pissed at the guy, had to nudge me into taking the advice.

And I learned UDC’s chant! “What’s the word! FIREBIRDS!”
(Had to note that the chant is likely a reference to former UDC (before it was UDC) prof Gil Scott-Heron’s song “Johannesburg”)

Read at UDC today and it was such a joyous beautiful event. Students read moving poems and essays inspired by THE W🌍RLD DOESN’T REQUIRE YOU and Cross River, MD. And all the wonderful questions! Wish I had better pictures. My heart ❤️ is full tho.

No one tells you how much of this writing life is maintaining a one-sided cold war against some writer you feel wronged you years ago.

Parent showcase day on the last day of summer camp is a scam to get you to pick up your kids early. I ain’t falling for that shit! I’m leaving my kid there after the showcase and returning in an hour at regular pick up time!

Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target and also basically a goddamn flashing disclaimer, lest it be mistaken for genuine sentiment by the most joyless dunderheads on the internet.

I participated in a reading of writers from the African diaspora on Juneteenth, and it was the warmest, most inviting gathering of exceptional black talent that I've been involved in, in a while. Big ups to Kinsman Avenue Publishing for putting together the Black Butterfly anthology and its reading!
