What People Are Saying

Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she?s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i?m thankful.

I’ve read your blog for a long time and this is
my first time responding. You give me reason
to think and improve upon myself and others.
Thank you.

James, I Love you, Thank you.

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I have two deadlines this week. So I was up ready to work? early this morning. I fiddled around last night, so when my CP was sounding like Rosie from the Jetsons this morning, I flipped out. It would not boot up. I felt like I had slacked off and started beating myself up. I [...]

Dissent is Healthy

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Martin Luther King Jr., President Johnson, Whitney Young, and James Farmer inside the White House Oval Office. Dissent is healthy, our nation is rooted in it. I was at a dinner party the other night and the issue of critiquing “larger bloggers” came up. I thought to myself, talking shit about someone is ONE thing. [...]

Why Your Personal Information is the Future of the Global Economy

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

Two things have occurred that have had a profound influence on how I see the future global economy. The first was reading the February 27th issue of The Economist (peace to S.bot for giving it to me, I need a subscription) which focuses on “The Data Deluge” and the second was learning about nano technology.

Lightweight Awesome and Stretched

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Jump in the….. Earlier this week I had a profound encounter with a professor. She recommended that I “approach my work being a little bit more comfortable with uncertainty.” I turned to her and said, “Dr. Rogers, ummmm I work really hard to do that in my “real life”, so you want me to do [...]

20 Question Wednesday’s

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Going through the archive, realized I hadn’t done one of these in a hot minute. 1. Why is it so clear to me now that Hip Hop is a masculine space? 2. Why am I finally seeing Avatar this weekend? 3. Why am I more comfortable with Black and White, and not the grays? 4. [...]

Facebook + Twitter + Your Privacy

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Analog House I have been thinking about a REALLY theoretical piece on the merging of our virtual worlds and our real (material) worlds (And the merging of Human Beings and corporations as well) and I haven’t been able to wrap my head around it. One of my research interests is technology and the self, so [...]

Aye Blood #2…….

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I ain’t mean to blow up spots. You know who you are. I know, I violated two of my rules, out of being short sighted. If I could do it again, you know #Blackgirls would flip it different. But ‘chu good money, and if you reading this, you know I’m sincere. Consider this my amends. [...]

Sometimes a Heart Can’t Afford to Be Just Friends

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Click on the above image to peep the tweet which says, “Sometimes a heart can’t afford to be just friends.” My general rule is that if I am uncomfortable, I won’t do it. I been number one AND number two before. Number dos is bad for your self esteem IF YOU really want the top [...]

Aye Blood…….

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

I am old enough to know that it will go away. But damn Gina if I don’t miss my friend. Tonight, I am working on a review of 5 years of a feminist journal. I got stacks of papers, outlines, mo’ stacks of papers. The goal is for us to start thinking about the places [...]
