People of color are not an anachronism. Art history can be a mirror for everyone, you just have to keep looking. <3

For a spot of positivity, please know that I only survived last year due to people who believed so strongly in my work they kept supporting me, even when I was too ill to do it.
Individuals have immense power to help others. Don't forget that.

I do mean that.
I came back today because I feel so helpless. Waiting to hear.
What do you do at a time like this?
You do what you can.
You thank those who helped you, when you couldn't help yourself.
That's what you do.

This woman from Zanzibar (ostensibly) holding a pangolin has captured my imagination ever since I first laid eyes on a grainy, black-and-white photocopy of this painting almost a decade ago

Sports is cancelled.
Reading is not.
This is our chance to reset our distracted minds.
Stay healthy.
Stay safe.
Give help to those who help those unable to help themselves do either.
And somewhere in there, in the quiet...
Read something life changing.

As we move to online teaching let’s all remember that we are human and business as usual is not a viable option in a crisis. Our moral and ethical obligations should orient us toward a pedagogy of care and compassion for ourselves and our students. #CovidCampus

It's been a year since my last tweet. My Patreon supporters already know I'd planned to come back this month.
I was very, very ill for the entirety of 2019.
Now things are even more complicated.

I don’t know If I’ll be up to checking notifications or anything like that right away. But I will be posting some resources for online pedagogy and stuff like that, since that’s kind of what I’ve been talking about since 2013.

I’ll also try posting some resources for people like me, hand-to-mouth freelancers doing hard-to-categorize work and dependent on finding something to make the most basic of ends meet.
