I Know Where I've Been
Being Black, I already know how it feels to be judged by the actions of the worst people in my group, to be the object of collective disdain and the target of collective punishment, to be perceived as guilty by association, to be met with unwarranted disgust, to be treated as unwelcome, unwanted, and untouchable, all because of stereotypes and generalizations.

of
Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD, and/or Depression:
"Not bad, just not what I was looking for? It was very conversational instead of a more formal type of how-to/guide towards whatever "

of
Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD, and/or Depression:
"I wasn't all that impressed by this book. It may work well as an intro book for people who haven't read about anxiety and how it shows up in relationships, but it isn't providing any new information or insights that can't be found in other texts."

of
Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD, and/or Depression:
"I think this book is slightly mis advertised. It is advertised as a self-help book, but at times it read more like a memoir. I found myself skipping paragraphs or even full pages or sections because the author kept going on about an ex and reflecting"

That Justice is a blind goddess
Is a thing to which we black are wise:
Her bandage hides two festering sores
That once perhaps were eyes.”

“THE BAGPIPE WHO DIDN'T SAY NO
It was nine o'clock at midnight at a quarter after three
When a turtle met a bagpipe on the shoreside by the sea,
And the turtle said, "My dearie,
May I sit with you? I'm weary."
And the bagpipe didn't say no.
Said the turtle to the bagpipe, "I have walked this lonely shore,
I have talked to waves and pebbles--but I've never loved before.
Will you marry me today, dear?
Is it 'No' you're going to say dear?"
But the bagpipe didn't say no.
Said the turtle to his darling, "Please excuse me if I stare,
But you have the plaidest skin, dear,
And you have the strangest hair.
If I begged you pretty please, love,
Could I give you just one squeeze, love?"
And the bagpipe didn't say no.
Said the turtle to the bagpipe, "Ah, you love me. Then confess!
Let me whisper in your dainty ear and hold you to my chest."
And he cuddled her and teased her
And so lovingly he squeezed her.
And the bagpipe said, "Aaooga."
Said the turtle to the bagpipe, "Did you honk or bray or neigh?
For 'Aaooga' when your kissed is such a heartless thing to say.
Is it that I have offended?
Is it that our love is ended?"
And the bagpipe didn't say no.
Said the turtle to the bagpipe, "Shall i leave you, darling wife?
Shall i waddle off to Woedom? Shall i crawl out of your life?
Shall I move, depart and go, dear--
Oh, I beg you tell me 'No' dear!"
But the bagpipe didn't say no.
So the turtle crept off crying and he ne'er came back no more,
And he left the bagpipe lying on that smooth and sandy shore.
And some night when tide is low there,
Just walk up and say, "Hello, there,"
And politely ask the bagpipe if this story's really so.
I assure you, darling children, the bagpipe won't say "No.”

“Militant
Let all who will
Eat quietly the bread of shame.
I cannot,
Without complaining loud and long,
Tasting its bitterness in my throat
And feeling to my very soul
It's wrong.
For honest work
You proffer me poor pay,
For honest dreams
Your spit is in my face,
And so my fist is clenched
Today--
To strike your face.”
