Happy birthday, Delroy Lindo

a newspaper clipping that reads: “PSYCHOANALYST THE WEEK. Dorothy Dandridge, Hollywood night club singer, said she clicks with customers because she psy-choanalyzes them before she sings to them. Because she was scared by night club audiences, she took a course in psychology at UCLA, trying to find out what made people tick. "Now," she says, "I can spot the different types the minute I see them at their tables. And, I pick a special song for each type." Miss Dandridge neglected to mention that: 1) she is beautiful; 2) she sings well.”

They rely on copper landlines for emergencies. AT&T could threaten their lifeline AT&T is fighting to ease regulations requiring landlines, which cost it $1 billion per year in California. It has spent big on lobbying.

AT&T has been trying to get rid of landlines in California for YEARS because they are expensive and annoying to maintain, with shrinking market share. The people who use them, however, REALLY need them for safety and communication esp in rural areas with limited cell coverage.

oh yes !!!!

Solange and Saint Heron’s Book About Pioneering Black Architect Amaza Lee Meredith Is Here “Her spirit is demanding to be resurrected in the nowness,” the multi-hyphenate tells AD

"Azurest Blue: The Life & Legacy of Amaza Lee Meredith, from Saint Heron, is a marriage between archive & narrative, filled w/ personal correspondence, annotated documents, blueprints, photographs, & commissioned essays from contemporary voices of design" www.architecturaldigest.com/story/solang...

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

“jazz” complete :-) going to make lunch.

next: reading dorothy west’s “the living is easy,” a black woman’s classic i have yet to read.

A Free Black Woman, a Memorial to Enslaved Laborers, and the Battle Over U.S. History How Charlottesville’s memorial landscape can help us understand — and combat — the White House’s violent plans to reshape the nation’s public spaces.

Since the U.S.’s inception as a nation in the 18th century, white people have deployed monuments to territorialize their power through representations of famous men, writes Mabel O. Wilson in her essay for Issue No. 8

waiiiiiiiit! congrats my icon. may this new chapter be generous and tender. hoping you soak it all in ❤️🫂

omg its coming back? i really enjoyed this when i previously watched. great news.

This excellent post is evoking Larissa Sansour's In the Future, They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2015), which features "narrative terrorists" that bury fabricated artifacts for future political fights over history. In addition to the film, Sansour actually did this as part of the project!

i just keep thinking about how many people are relinquishing their agency to remember, think, feel, and process for a machine, relationship, “history,” or self-disregard and the act being sold as an “advancement” or standard.

the obsession with how history remembers…leaving the “record” to time insinuates the future record has a “neutral” author that won’t censor, distort, or willfully ignore the truth.

“history” & willful remembering is the responsibility of us all, not for unnamed people for a under-regarded future.
