- Honored to be in the Hip Hop South special issue! Big love to my brotha Corey J. Miles for curating something so beautiful. This piece about grandma was probably the hardest thing I've written - very grateful Southern Cultures allowed me to share her light with y’all

- I absolutely agree. We need to question AI and its impact. But some of this “crisis of humanity” stuff is overblown. Students have always cheated. Cut and paste from Wikipedia. SparkNotes. Answers on the back of the calculator. Different forms but reflect a view many have always had of education

- Serious question - why do some teachers/profs share grade distributions with their classes? (i.e. the # of As, Bs, etc. on a test) To me, it feels WILDLY unnecessary. Students need feedback, of course, but feedback should be related to their OWN performance, not the performance of others.

- Reposted by Pyar Seth, PhDwhat if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them? what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too? what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things? what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

- What’s good, y’all! Excited to connect with everyone up here! A little about me: I study how medical and scientific ideas change over time, particularly as they are deployed across different geographic contexts. I also run a research lab on Hip Hop @hiphoprx.bsky.social
