Day 2 of 30, @3amblack

Hi friends, it’s Day 2, and I’m already super grateful for the abundance of writers, artists and community members joining and engaging with #3amblackpoetry during #nationalpoetrymonth.

If you are new to participating or joining this journey, and you are wondering what to do with these prompts - it’s up to you! As the creator and editor at 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK, and a writer and artist myself, making these (hopefully!) daily prompts serves as my moment to create during a month where writers and creatives the country and world over have pledged to produce. The posts are also a community-building tool and invitation to be part of a digital community - for the month or beyond.

I’m excited about the different ways that inspiration, collaboration, meditation, and elucidation are coming together this year; be on the lookout for lots of multimedia content. In the meantime, I know some people are still looking at the accompanying visual (and maybe this caption) and wondering how to start or proceed. Well, the word abundance keeps coming up for me, so I ran with it. But you can see in the image that besides the actual word-as-prompt there is a background image, and pictured on that background is a stack of books you can see through the graphic art. Maybe it’s not the word abundance, but one of the titles in the background. Or maybe it’s a combination of the word abundance and one label in particular that sparked ideas. Whatever it is, do it; No pressure and no accountability except what you build (and adapt) for yourself.

Sunshine and laughter, and Happy Poetry Month. - Reza Rites

I'm 4 for 4! Meet Amar! A brick tower of a protector, Amar has sworn to let nothing and no one ever bring harm to Ahndra (much to her chagrin as she considers him overprotective). He is all about duty and staying in his place as a guardian (despite Ahndra's attempts to get him to be more friendly with her). He can be quite intimidating and rigid but Ahndra assures me "he's harmless." #originalcharacter #oc #wip ##workinprogress #writing #blackwriter #writingwhileblack #writerlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CDQIZeqggbt/?igshid=1m2qzssg9qkd6

It’s Time to Confront the Myth of a Liberal Haven

I wrote this for the people who think relocation is a solution for BIPOC and other marginalized groups when faced with white supremacy. The reality is we have to struggle no matter where we go, so help us to feel safe where we are. Thank you for reading!

Take 5 w. Reza Rites The #AmbitiousBlackFeminist And 3 AM IS THE NEW BLACK March 21, 2023 Full article at www.AmbitiousBlackFeminist.com Most of my classrooms are those containing high school students or adults, but over time, as I’ve embraced my silliness and discarded discomfort with my own awkwardness, I’ve gotten better with teaching and supporting middle school-aged youth and adolescents. Below are five approaches that work for me when instructing Middle School youth: 1) I never just look over a kid’s shoulder or at their screen. I ask first. “Do you mind if I look over your shoulder or look on?” 2) I remember what it was like when I found academic subject matter difficult, and I channel that while affirming something a student is finding difficult. “Ohhhhh this one is kind of tricky.” 3) Similarly, I model the struggle. “Maybe it’s this, maybe it’s that. It’s frustrating not knowing, but I won't be harmed if I guess wrong, so maybe I’ll pick this one.” 4) I show a skill or technique that works for me, and explain my rationale or process. I then invite them to show me an approach or skill that was taught to them - or that they developed. 5) I like to put energy into ending a task, and creating a vibe where we as a community work super hard right before reaching a break or dismissal. It's a bit like the sprint at the end of a marathon or long-distance run, and it can be especially helpful for the disengaged kiddo. What works for you as far as working with 11-14 year olds and/or teaching in general? Feel free to share a tip or word of advice in the comments.

The hyper-economic imperative of organizing cheap labour in higher education hits across all departments and schools in the context of the academy as a new, 'destabilized' but rapidly-growing market....these hiring, market-driven practices serve a larger, ideological function for the disciplines: in the case of English studies, this ideological function intersects directly with freshman English...These political economies, thus, script how English departments are often organized and, as such, as this article attempts to show, also script what Black students will be able to write and, therefore, who they are allowed to be/come as college writers/thinkers.
