I have a long list of readings this upcoming week. But that means the next stack should be STACKED. I’m a gemini sun. Me and good quotation GO together. Although folks believe I have a way with words. Shamelessly it’s in part because I love to read… I LOVE TO READ. I love to source and I love to YAP. I’ve gotten back into reading longform recently… and it’s been helping me to launch things I’ve written about or thought about into actual shit.

Like the clinic on obscenity. I wrote this about “obscenity” on December 18 (a snippet shared in the screenshot) :

And so to bring forth these things sitting in the back of my head that I do not have english language for, that I often pray in tongues about or just vomit in voice messages:

On tricks and tricking…

Black Sexual Economies: CHAPTER 16 The Mist and the Rain: A Trickster Tale by L. H. Stallings

On Color….

If It's Purple, Someone's Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling—Chapter 12 Mystical, Ominous, Ethereal Purples: Eve’s Bayou by Patt Bellantoni

On accepting my voice ( the way I talk, the sensibility of words I find attractive and brilliant)
