🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.

Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

How Toni Morrison Changed Publishing At night, she worked on her novels. By day, as an editor at Random House, she championed a new generation of writers.

Toni Morrison is one of the greatest writers to ever live. What many don’t know, is that she was also the first Black woman to become a senior editor at Random House. I wrote about a new book that discusses how she edited by day, wrote by night, and ushered in a new generation of Black writers.

TONIGHT, philly babes 😘

two new poems! thank you so much, @diodeeditions.bsky.social ♥️
