The best read I've come upon in some time. Prescient? One can hope! The irony of sharing it here is not lost on me! @noemamag.com The Last Days Of Social Media #topshelf www.noemamag.com/the-last-day...

No Time At All from Lisa Marie Simmons is now available for your listening enjoyment on all your favorite platforms: ropeadope.com/news/2025/8/...

“Is there still enough time, or No Time At All?” As she Lisa Marie questions the concept of linear time.

Awww it was so good to see you!! 🤎

80 years after the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons still cast a long shadow over the world. Cultural leaders have a leading role to play in creating a critical mass of public demand for change.

They are stepping up. 🧵 #CultureAgainstNukes #NukeSky

✨ CARNEGIE HALL, BABY—WHAA?! ✨
I fell hard for Charu’s Rags and Ragas the moment I heard it,
then she heard NoteSpeak 12 and came to our NYC show. Now we’re sharing the stage, plus debuting a new track from the upcoming NoteSpeak (In a Word) (Sept @ropeadope99.bsky.social )Love fest vibes #jazzsky

@sifill.bsky.social ‘s powerful take on this moment continues to buoy and galvanize me! There is nothing better than presenting brilliant friends to one another’s work. YOU are a beacon Clare! ✨

"We are living in the time when small men and women rule. Our only hope is to become bigger ourselves." Character isn’t built in crisis; it’s revealed. Sherrilyn Ifill once more holds up a mirror to who we are and who we refuse to be. Her work continues to be required reading and good medicine.

Absolutely abominable.

Yes, these times…Let’s speak soon! 🤎

Thank you 👑 Regina! You are unfailingly kind!🤎🤎🤎🤎

Hello 🙋🏾‍♀️ Fellow writer/poet here. I found you via your Medium essay! Great to be connected!

Long before many of us could see the cracks,
@sifill.bsky.social was already naming the fault lines. Read her. She writes with the kind of unflinching foresight that history will thank, but we must act on now.

A powerful artist and activist. Just everything about this woman and her poetry was good and clean and straight truth. She pushed us. She’d cut you and then smile to show that she’d done it with love.
Rest in Peace and Power Nikki Giovanni.

YouTube video by TT Music Explosion Torch Song For A Bird

When I first left Twitter, I wrote a two minute torch song about the breakup. This migratory moment seemed like a good time to dust it off and record it. And yes, I'm really feeling it in the thumbnail.

BuzzFeed just gave my essay a second life. It’s about unraveling the complexities of my family’s unexpected history. Though the headline isn't mine - I stand by the essay! #adopteestories #essays #writingcommunity #writers
