This was inexplicably moving to me. So much so I teared up while I was eating lunch.

I have intellectually understood what the African diaspora meant/means but today was legit the first time I saw myself within it.

Like...The way he put it. The sixth African nation, dispersed, scattered, but still connected. Like an unwilling prodigal.

It hit me hard.

Tressie McMillan Cottom on spending Juneteenth with Black Oregonians and Portlanders.

(First...well, do I need to say it? I had no idea! None! Oregon wasn't really founded with diversity in mind, you know?)

Anyway. Her post is awesome. As always.

Professor Sunn m'Cheaux calls out country music's personal connection for fans for its lyrics + reclaims it from white folks deep in their racism who think they can carve away everyone else's music appreciation + history.

Interesting thing from last night:

Like James Baldwin, my Bestie is getting the eff out of America.

Him: Girl, I'm done. This country is done. And I'm tired. I don’t owe this place shit. No Black person does. These people can work it out themselves. So I got an apartment in Bangkok so I can be prepared.

Hearing that from him was the first time I took serious pause and thought about my options.
