It is the brief flash of life on Kleya’s face. The faint smile seen but almost barely in the small corners of her mouth.. Her shoulders broad from holding the tiny feet of everyone she now sees. #Andor

I watched (and loved) the first 2 seasons of #Silo and I just finished reading the book for what will become season 3, which is a prequel arcβ€” And it was such a vivid reading experience because I had this whole visual context in my mind of the world being described and explored. Wow

My whole life my mother would say to us β€œEverybody can’t go” and that has informed much of my radical beliefs and politics.

I feel fortunate to know that I lived in Nikki’s time. That I once shared time and space with herβ€” listened to her tell stories, jokes and poems. In a room of Black people, who all as children crowded around this great mother.

She fed us. She taught us. She’s teaching us still.
