    wow, a true ally is one who lobs you the ball for the informational thread you had planned to write. For those of you new to comics, here is a brief explainer of how comics sales work. The tl;dr version is that if you want to support a title, the best way is to pre-order it.

    . - first, CONGRATS!!! Second, for those of us who are still relatively new to understanding how comic books work, can we pre-order this somewhere and/or support in other ways? Third, CONGRATS!!!

    Also still happening, while Republicans swipe documents off an unfit president's desk to keep things "civil."

    Hundreds of immigrant children remain detained including at least 25 babies- four yrs- old and younger. The anguish of their parents is palpable-not knowing how their children are or why the government won’t release them

    To understand the freakout over the shape of Zina Bash's hand yesterday, you have to realize that the alt-right has weaponized the wink. Permit me to get Geertzy with it. (thread!)

    Test scores today function as a convenient proxy for race (and poverty) that give convenient cover to white, middle-class parents who in reality simply do not want to enroll their children in schools with lots of black children. The evidence on this is pretty clear.

    oh it’s super wasteful. The woman told me “you can buy the products again right there” and pointed to the shop 10 feet away. I was like “so you can throw them away again when I come back here in a week?”

    How much terrible for the planet waste Security Theater has created? They know your Shea buster wasn’t a bomb just as they know my braids don’t hide tiny terroists in them. The performance must be public and they must be seen but the stuff they are doing is keeping no one safe

    People have told me that they bought the book for themselves, but their mother or auntie stole it and refused to return it (my favorite compliment).

    Everywhere, people have shared with me incredible stories. Reading the book to someone in hospice care before their passing, or on the way to court every morning as a juvenile defender, or while working as the only black woman in a school/workplace/program.

    Today is the one year anniversary of my very first book, Electric Arches. Thank you to everyone who’s bought it, checked it out from the library, or listened to it on audio. This book has had a really special life and you all made it so with your big big hearts.

    I keep thinking of retorts, like THIS IS A LIPID THAT HAPPENS TO BE IN A SOLID FORM. A CREAM IS A VISCOUS LIQUID. But then I think about how the word lipid might sound like liquid to them. Then I remember I’m in line at CVS & everyone is waiting & this all happened 3 weeks ago
