There's no classroom like NYC! @MS_839 students met with @mayabphillips, critic at large @nytimes to discuss her path to journalism & examine a piece she wrote on #BlackPanther. This visit supported MS 839's cross-disciplinary learning expedition on morality within the MCU!
I got to write about @FatHamBway again—I can’t wait to see this show a third time 😁

I can’t believe I’m starting the year as a Brooklyn homeowner. Just closed this morning and would pop a bottle of champagne but instead am gonna spend the rest of the day packing and cleaning, which is its own kinda celebration, in a sense 😂🏠

Author @mayabphillips, who narrates her own book, conveys her fondness for imagined characters and worlds and her appreciation for the growing acceptance of so-called “nerd” culture. @SimonAudio ow.ly/K5Be30st4Hq
Starting the new year w a big change: I will be a single young Black woman living & writing in a Brooklyn Heights apt I’ve bought on my own 😁. Meanwhile current place is in pre-move disarray, which has been anxiety-inducing for me & the pup—but there’s still the bed for cuddling
Since @JohnCena now follows me, here is an appreciation post for the Peacemaker, tied with Deadpool for the title of my favorite politically incorrect hero 🦅 😂

#FromTheArchive: “Taking in different forms of art and looking at them critically opens my mind up to different possibilities in my poetry,” says @mayabphillips in #WritersRecommend. “But simply reading good writing helps most of all.” at.pw.org/MayaPhillips

We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

Good morning, @nytimes. We solved today's crossword for you.
ALT A crossword format shows NYTIMES intersecting with UNION and WALKS. The clues say "Company whose workers are asking for a fair contract" Answer: NYTIMES; "Journalists, designers, security guards, news assistants and more make this" Answer: UNION; and "What the union does if the NYTimes doesn't settle the contract by December 8" Answer: WALKS. The New York Times Guild logo is on the image.

The “Black Panther” films imbue heroes and villains with a complexity that is derived from the politics around colonization and the African diaspora, our critic @mayabphillips writes. nyti.ms/3VmDAtv

We've come a long way from "Revenge of the Nerds," thankfully. For @thetangential, I reviewed the absorbing new @mayabphillips audiobook about the real-world power of imagined universes. thetangential.com/2022/11/03…
Omgomgomgomg I am so pleased
Yes, it’s true: The Sandman will return to Netflix!
"There are some astonishing stories waiting for Morpheus & the rest of them… Now it’s time to get back to work. There’s a family meal ahead... And Lucifer is waiting for Morpheus to return to Hell," says @neilhimself
