Not me crying watching the Black students at Stanford provide free breakfast for everyone at the Palestine encampment. 😭😭😭 What a way to do the work and honor the Black Panther Party.
I talk to a lot of random readers. People are alarmingly disengaged from so many reading experiences. How do we welcome folks back?!? To reading! To scale!
Mostly what I was saying yall is that if we want these advances to hold we TRULY NEED MORE PEOPLE BUYING BOOKS.
Advances are so important obviously, but why does no one talk about royalties (which you have to earn the advance out to get)? (Leading question—we have a marketplace problem.)

On this day in 1967, Muhammad Ali was stripped of his heavyweight boxing championship after refusing to be inducted into the U.S. Army. Here's a video on why he refused to be drafted into the army to go to Vietnam.
US university and college administrations, boards/regents, and powerful donors are proving the point in real time: they are a warfare ensemble--they *are* police power.
The "Strong Black Woman" stereotype is more detrimental than we think. Though we wear many hats in the household, do we want to, or are we encouraged to? bit.ly/3vUcgem
While the media ignores them, students at community colleges ARE protesting genocide too. They have far fewer material resources to leverage but are just as important. I’ll flag them in this 🧵 as I learn about their efforts. #GazaSolidarityEncampment #CeasfireNOW

"In 1948, Jean Blackwell Hutson was appointed curator at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, & in 1968, Dr. Barbara Ann Teer founded the National Black Theatre. Yet only now are...the neighborhood’s ...theaters & museums led by Black women" thecut.com/article/women-…

okay, I’m crying #FreePalestine
You probably don’t want to work for anyone who makes sweeping judgements like this based on large, complex data sets, anyway. I wouldn’t stress about it.
Sadly the op-ed in question actually says "there is room for more than one point of view on what CONSTITUTES genocide" which is far worse, bc there is a very plainly written legal definition of the term which folks seem to want to willfully ignore.

@LBrideau2 I mean the majority of authors don’t earn out their advances and never get the royalties seems more important than negotiating them? For the sake of this question, at least. Rights work is highly complex, so dealing with the most basic bit here. You have to sell X copies to earn
@brianoleary @BISG @ibpa Oh within publishing biz yes yes yes. Outside - not as much. Agents have an interest in high advances so of course they reasonably focus there, often not always.
@IBJIYONGI I agree about that! I think for many it’s what happens after. And the next book!

Thank you to the 🐐 for all you’ve done for game!
On this day in 1967, Muhammad Ali was stripped of his heavyweight boxing championship after refusing to be inducted into the U.S. Army. Here's a video on why he refused to be drafted into the army to go to Vietnam.
US university and college administrations, boards/regents, and powerful donors are proving the point in real time: they are a warfare ensemble--they *are* police power.
The "Strong Black Woman" stereotype is more detrimental than we think. Though we wear many hats in the household, do we want to, or are we encouraged to? bit.ly/3vUcgem
While the media ignores them, students at community colleges ARE protesting genocide too. They have far fewer material resources to leverage but are just as important. I’ll flag them in this 🧵 as I learn about their efforts. #GazaSolidarityEncampment #CeasfireNOW
Community College of Denver joins #GazaSolidarityEncampment 📣📣📣 (I’ve been to this campus- it’s shared space with several universities, which is quite cool)
Thank you @Bakari_Sellers! Thus needed to be said.
I’m excited to announce my return to Bama State as an Assistant Professor of Educational, Leadership, Policy, and Law. I look forward to continuing my scholarship with rural Black students, HBCU student leaders and athletes, and Black graduate students. #BigBamaState
"In 1948, Jean Blackwell Hutson was appointed curator at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, & in 1968, Dr. Barbara Ann Teer founded the National Black Theatre. Yet only now are...the neighborhood’s ...theaters & museums led by Black women" thecut.com/article/women-…

@ArtOfDialogue_ This is a great advertisement for adoption reform.
@ArtOfDialogue_ Most of the replies are “but how will they survive racism!” The larger crime here is *being* black while *robbed* of blackness. He’s robbing them too, not just failing to protect. He is both cheating these 2 boys out of cultural identity AND leaving them unprepared for the world.
@McClellanOsc Check out this guy, he will only employ people who support genocide
@McClellanOsc Thanks for coming out as a genocide supporter. You are what they protest.
@McClellanOsc Wow imagine only wanting to hire psychopathic genocide supporters. I guess you are looking for likeminded people
@McClellanOsc Good news for all who do protests against the Israeli genocide, I have a bigger company than Tom´s little bucketshop, and i would prefer to hire people who participated in these protests...its a sign of a proper moral compass....
