As Brown and Black people, we have a spiritual duty to write our own stories, because if we don’t, we will keep being defined by a system that survives on our silence.

Andrea Avery will be reading, discussing, and signing her new novella, Visiting Composer, on August 21 at Changing Hands Bookstore, 300 W. Camelback Rd., Phoenix. The event begins at 6:30 pm and is free.

Phoenix friends! If you are free this Thursday night, I hope you will join me at Changing Hands on Camelback for a good old-fashioned book launch for my novella, Visiting Composer!

I mean the number of criminals residing in DC DID increase in January 2017 and again in January 2025

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”
