  17. It's James Baldwin's birthday. There are so many valuable resources online from Baldwin, including a great many videos of him speaking. Today I'm choosing the audio version of his essay The Fire Next Time. Ta-Nehisi Coates calls it the finest essay he's ever read.

    Take care, fellow humans.

  36. RE: mastodon.social/@rosaluxstiftu

    Il 2 agosto 1924 ad Harlem, New York nasce James Baldwin
