Portrait

Ask me anything

"The world,' he revealed, 'is a heap of people, a sea of tiny flames.'

this is a patchwork of reposts. between dirty streets and back alleys and looking up at a full moon on the edge of the water. mamahood, reproductive justice, unlearning colonization, listening, remembering, dreams and dance.

Not only is it calming, mentally, but tea also helps keep your digestive tract in motion. Yes, so you can poop and stay healthy! Try having a glass (or two) before going to bed.

Why isn’t closing 40 Philadelphia public schools national news?
In what should be the biggest story of the week, the city of Philadelphia’s school system announced Tuesday that it expects to close 40 public schools next year and 64 by 2017. The school district expects to lose 40% of current enrollment to charter schools, the streets or wherever, and put thousands of experienced, well qualified teachers, often grounded in the communities where they teach, on the street.
Ominously, the shredding of Philadelphia’s public schools isn’t even news outside Philly. This correspondent would never have known about it save for a friend’s Facebook posting early this week. Corporate media in other cities don’t mention massive school closings, whether in Chicago, Atlanta, NYC, or in this case Philadelphia, perhaps so people won’t have given the issue much deep thought before the same crisis is manufactured in their town. Even inside Philadelphia the voices of actual parents, communities, students and teachers are shut out of most newspaper and broadcast accounts.

pages from Spike and Tonya Lewis Lee’s book Please, Baby, Please. Illustrated by Kadir Nelson. This book is a cute, funny little tale about the tribulations of bringing up baby.

Keep off the wall, baby baby, please, baby.

Don’t eat the sand, please baby please.

I love this book
