James Baldwin and Nikki Giovanni "A Conversation". Full Broadcast Video （2時間程度・英語）
ジオヴァニ氏「愛はとんでもない責任ですよね。」
ボールドウィン氏「愛という責任だけは取るべきと言える。他はないさ。」（意訳）やっと見る時間が作れて嬉しい長編インタビュー（対話？）
時代を感じるところ（ずっっっとタバコ吸ってるところとかw）はあるけど、その分なんだか全時代を生きて希望を、愛を選んだ方々の話が聞けてこっちも未来を作る、作れる気持ちになる
周りを見て暗い気持ちになりがちな今時こそ見る甲斐があるかも閲覧注意：性別二元論、人種差別、虐待、侮蔑的な表現
Giovanni: Love is a tremendous responsibility.
Baldwin: It's the only one to take. There isn't any other.Very glad I finally made the time to watch this conversation in full
There's a lot about it that speaks to the era it was filmed (the perpetual smoking, for one 😅), but there's something hopeful about seeing elders who lived through a different time choosing hope and love. It makes me feel like I, too, can help build a better future
Especially in dark times like the ones we're in now, it's the kind of thing that's important to see, I thinkContent Warning: Gender essentialism, Racism, Abuse, Use of slurs

Played around with a trail photo (from my forest walk).
[ Choices By #NikkiGiovanni.
If i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to doIt's not the same thing
but it's the best i can
doIf i can't have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to wantSince i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn't lateralWhen i can't express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equalI know
but that's why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry. ]#Choices #poetry #VisualArt #PhotoArt #nature #portals #pathways #trails #Poem #photography #Mirrored #art #LifePaths #GoYourOwnWay #Winter #SummerInYourSoul #forest

"Werewolf Avoidance by Nikki Giovanni
I've never "blogged" before so this is new territory for me I do poet though and that is always somewhere in the netherland I think poetry is employed by truth I think our job is to tell the truth as we see it don't you just hate a namby-pamby poem that goes all over the place saying nothing
Poets should be strong in our emotions and our words that might make us difficult to live with but I do believe easier to love Poet is garlic Not for everyone but for those who take it never get caught by werewolves"
— Nikki Giovanni: Chasing Utopia, p. 80

When I Accidentally #Outed #NikkiGiovanni
As a #fan of Giovanni, I admired her #brilliance and #activism. But a #misstep caused #backlash—labeling her an “#out #lesbian.” This incident highlights the need to respect #privacy and avoid #assumptions.
— Giovanni never publicly #identified as #LGBTQ+, though her work inspired #queer #communities.
