For @thebaltimorebanner.com I want to talk to Maryland-area folks with front-facing jobs like retail, restaurant, packaging stores, traffic enforcement and others who can be on the wrong end of public frustration. In the holiday season, what do you need from the public in terms of patience?

We keep telling you to keep our names out of your mouths and you don’t listen.

I turned in my first complete draft of my novel to my agent for approval and then it goes to the publisher on Thursday. Between now and the October 26 release, a lot of editing and back and forth. But it has a beginning, middle and ending. Yay.

‘Wicked’ reminds us that allyship is getting on the dang broom At the end of the first half of “Wicked,” Elphaba asks her friend Galinda to join her on the broom and fly away to launch a movement. But Galinda can’t. That sounds a lot like real life.

Last year I wrote about "Wicked Part 1" and allyship. I have more thoughts for @thebaltimorebanner.com about #wickedforgood and that subject. Anyone wanna talk for a column? (Maryland preferable!) www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Stop platforming white supremacists.

Puerto Rican.

As God as my witness, this is the best thing ever.

I won’t be bullied by elitism.

I literally blocked a popular person I used to respect who quoted me so his minions could harass me. Bye.

What if you need to go somewhere? Stop.

You are a white straight man of privilege who thinks that flying what you can afford means you should give up basic dignity that used to be included in the fare. Stop.

But what if you can’t afford to? Wow. Privilege. Dude. For real.

Don’t give up America ⬇️

The book Burn It Down at the base of a very old tree in Spain. This photo was taken by Cosby survivor and activist Stacey Pinkerton. She is a source in Burn It Down.

My contribution to the discourse around "should writers be paid or should you steal their work" is: Yes, we should be paid.

ALSO! I'm very proud of my book. If you buy it, I do not mind what format you buy it in, where you get it or if you get it from a library 💚 bookshop.org/p/books/burn...

When Mark Kelly spoke to the troops, he wasn’t talking politics. He was reinforcing the pillars of a free country.👇

NEW: Trump DOJ once again BUSTED for yet another lie told to a federal judge, this time in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s cases:

DOJ told Judge Xinis Costa Rica wouldn’t take Abrego Garcia & instead he has to be deported to Liberia, with which he has no ties at all.

Turns out, it’s a LIE.

Unless you have young kids. Or cover pop culture. Guilty.

Right wing troll who pretends to live in places he does not is upset with Twitter for revealing his actual location. How's he supposed to con people if it does that? So not fair!!!

Where are the British ladies solving crime over tea??

I had them for brunch and wish them
To be at all my meals.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I have recreated from memory my ancestral Streeter macaroni and cheese recipe. I get to stay Black and in the family. It’s very reassuring.

Well hey!

We are being lulled into a sense that generic is Ok. That we should not fight it. Resistance is futile. I’ve been cooking more.

Never! Never anything that cool.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
