I just signed up for this virtual/in-person film premiere, starting in 20 minutes. I've attended Johnson's events before & I'm very happy to recommend his work to as many folks as possible:

"Join us for a screening, Q&A with Director Aaron Johnson and Kingsya Omega (who is featured in the film) . . . Johnson’s powerful short film “Dark and Tender” follows ten Black men on a transformative retreat with the Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project outside Seattle, Washington. The men seek to reclaim platonic intimacy and tenderness through close encounters with nature and depictions of gentle Black masculinity, restoring the vital aspect of touch by replacing violence and rough play with care, connection, and intimacy."

Very happy, especially in these times, to have discovered this stall at a farmers' market! I bought 2 tea towels, with quotes from Amanda Gorman and Pauli Murray. #BlackOwnedBusinesses https://www.theweekendstore.com/collections/cards-of-the-resistance

I woke up this morning to a slew of text messages pointing me towards an article on Vulture about Neil Gaiman. Most of the messages were people saying they were sorry they didn’t believe me in the early 90s when I first started warning people that he was a “missing stair”, a fake feminist, and a dangerous man in a closed room. I’m so fucking tired of being Cassandra. I warned you people. Over and over. Nobody fucking believed me. It was a large part of why I walked away from a career in that industry.

Trigger warning: this article is brutal. I wish I had not read it unprepared. This is very much a strap on your protective armor and maybe plan on quiet time, read. It is nightmare fuel. It probably still won’t be enough for him to see any real consequences.

(Archive link to avoid paywall, I support Vulture, but this story needs to be widely disseminated.)

I talked with my friends Mariame Kaba, Dean Spade, Eman Abdelhadi, and Shane Burley about activism and organizing in 2025 and how we should move into the next phase of struggle. https://organizingmythoughts.org/wading-into-2025-how-to-begin/
