For Louisiana: Midterms 2026 pt 2 "Jamie HAS to be in that room"
[Adapted from a July 11, 2026 Threads post series. The Threads content is under the second heading. It has videos and pics.] I saw Jamie Davis and folks at the Jamie Davis event Here’s where we go into a li bit more of a diary format because I’m quoting my Threads posts. Picture it, July 12, 2026. It’s a muggy and off-and-on rainy Saturday in north Louisiana. You ventured out to the fellowship…
For Louisiana: "Jamie HAS to be in that room", things "directly to your pocketbook," and empowerment
[Adapted from a July 11, 2026 Threads post series. The Threads content is under the second heading. It has videos and pics.] Do you know who makes decisions about your life? You might immediately respond, “I do, of course!” If you’re of a particular western Christian inclination, you might say, “God is over everything. He orders my steps and directs my path. I follow Him.” Maybe you’re not…
Comparing the 2008 Canadian Listeriosis outbreak and 2005 Hurricane Katrina response
The 2005 landfall of Hurricane Katrina and 2008 Listeriosis outbreak were national crises for the governments of the United States of America and Canada, respectively. Each event was a matter of public health and security. How effectively officials communicated with each other and the public during these times impacted the extent of loss of well-being, livelihood, property, and life. The…
Finding Food in Northeast Louisiana
If you or somebody you know is struggling or will be struggling with having enough food due to not receiving November SNAP benefits (or any reason), I’mma list some Northeast Louisiana resources. Hit me up if you need help. This is the kinda stuff I (and the people and programs I coordinate with) have to do all the time for clients anyway. As I become aware of other resources, I will try to add…
I'm bout to be a social worker not allowed to "practice" social work
In 3 weeks, I’ll be a social worker who is not allowed to “practice social work” in the state of Louisiana. For those not familiar with “professional” licensing process, particularly for social work, let me shed some light. What all them letters mean TL;DR for this section – I’ve had a Certified Social Worker status for 3 years, it’s a temporary 3-year certificate after a master’s degree, it…
Contemporary Music from Kinshasa
Article by Collin Smith for Bandcamp. Read it here. I’m not about to pretend that I was so clever and directly sought an article about Congolese music. The truth is less strategic and more magical. I decided to look at what music is new on Bandcamp. Either I had never been to the parts of the site that show articles, or I had completely blocked them out. I was just trying to see what music was…
Why American Jews No Longer Understand One Another
We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance
A book by Kellie Carter Jackson Sometime in 2024 (I think), Trey Washington whose handle is @whatsonemorepothos on Instagram, discussed this book in his Instagram stories. His enthusiastic endorsement, the title, and the cover were enough to interest me. I ordered We Refuse along with several other books earlier this year, and started this one in June. As of this writing, I’m still in the…
Scottsboro Alabama: A Story in Linoleum cuts
A graphic novel by Lin Shi Khan and Tony Perez, edited by Andrew Lee with foreword by Robin D.G. Kelley I read this one the same week I read V for Vendetta. The bulk of the book – the linoleum cuts by Lin Shi Khan and Tony Perez – was published in 1935 to illustrate and and agitate for nine Black youths who were falsely accused of raping two white women. Before we get to the artwork, we get…
V for Vendetta #1-10
Comics by Alan Moore & David Lloyd Every now and then, a book of comics helps get my brain in the right mode. (I know Alan Moore and others aren’t fond of the term “graphic novel.”) I prefer several issues of a comics story gathered and bound into a book rather than single issue pamphlets or magazines. I saw the film adaptation of V for Vendetta years and years ago, and I have it on DVD. I…
After Roe: What can happen and your action ideas
As I have been learning and figuring out, here are some of the impacts of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey: Jewish people will be will be denied freedom of religious practice Muslim people will be will be denied freedom of religious practice Christian people whose beliefs include reproductive justice will be denied…

Louisiana got something to say: March 2025 election talk
Maybe y’all heard we had a little election in Louisiana for four constitutional amendments on March 29. Louisiana’s own Power Coalition for Equity & Justice and other groups and individuals spent many weeks making sure we we knew what those amendments were and what they would do. I first shared one of the Power Coalition graphics about it to my Instagram stories on February 12. They made the…
DR Congo: how we fled Goma’s rebel takeover
Article by Yousra Elbagir for The Times of London. Read it here. Yousra and her team were in Goma, the biggest city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, as M23 (March 23) Rebels seized the city last week. She captures the fear of them running for their lives – including when she, a Sudanese Brit was mistaken for a Rwandan Tutsi – and waiting in their hotel to see if they can get out of…
"I am home y'all"
Three days ago on Threads: Threads post: joiultra 3d ago – “I was starting to get overwhelmed. Then I saw posts about Sudanese Emergency Response Rooms and Gazans cleaning up and rebuilding and thought about my neighbors and history. That zoom out and perspective can be restorative.” (I know the screenshot says 2 days ago. The app says 3 days, the website says 2 days. As the one who posted it,…
Yes, we're old AF. Do you want to grow plums?
As encouragement, for the “planting” work discussed below, I remind you that ART and CULTURAL WORK exists. Music, paintings, drawings, animation, writing, film, clothing design, all of that. And there are artists who are out there talking about the work of unearthing the beautiful other world that is possible, creating art to help us imagine it, and all while not shying away from the reality of…
