5/27/19 discussion about Terry McMillan and her ex-lover

Here is the link to my May 27, 2019, Twitter thread discussion of the history of Terry McMillan and the lover who inspired her novel How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

While I believe my heart was sort of in the right place with this thread -- I really wanted to defend LGBTQ people -- I nowadays believe this to be one of the most tone-deaf, culturally incompetent, self-righteous, and even racist threads I've ever written.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is very affected, and is only somewhat coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

2/4/18 review of Harmony Chorale performance of Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a 2018 performance of Bayard Rustin: The Man Behind the Dream, by the Harmony Chorale in Denver, Colorado.

The thread gives a summary of the choral work, as well as some background on its creators -- Steve Milloy of the Cincinnati Men's Chorus, One Voice Minnesota, One Voice Charlotte, The Quire of Eastern Iowa, and South Coast Chorale. The thread gives some background on the Harmony Chorale's Denver performance. The thread gives some background on Bayard Rustin. The thread discusses a lot of the work's themes, such as being black and LGBTQ in America, and the Civil Rights movement in America.

Some of my Twitter threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is moderately affected as a result. My apologies.
