Sometimes writing. Sometimes riding. Always on the riddim as a decolonial badgyal. There's bliss in the tension just before the bass drops...🔊

I am poem.
I am song.
I am a loaded sentence and a lyrical paragraph.
I am well-placed punctuation, necessary pauses, and the open space to breathe.
I am thought manifested and provoked.
I am real and fiction.
I am voice in rhythm.
Ask me if I write and the answer is yes.
So much happening here in Jamaica 😕 following Hurricane Melissa. Offering my field notes via a blogpost. isissemajhall.com/2025/11/04…
I wish somebody coulda told me that book writing is such a reflexive and inside-outing process. (These dub echoes are REAL!) As an outlet to tease out the more elusive bits, I’m back to blogging. Have a read ➡️ it’s not the soil – "write pon di riddim" isissemajhall.com/2024/12/14…
Pythagoras would have to turn ‘round, ben’ up, and curve to get anywhere in Kingston in any reasonable amount of time. This traffic is not normal.

The haunting by the dead & the living, the exploitation of downtown girls by uptown men & downpressed mothers, the rebel joy of gully queens & the horror of anti-trans violence, the open secrets & bold denials, the pleasure & the sexism. Nuff tings! Ep 1 was 👌🏾. #GetMillieBlack

Looking forward to reading the debut collection from @yashikagraham — a truly talented poet!
Blouse & Skirt!! Thank you @bluebanyanbooks & my many teachers and supporters on this journey! Nothing like holding my debut poetry collection for the first time, knowing what it has taken from & given to me, knowing what a gift, what a love letter this is to me right now.
Not sure what all is in retrograde, but all kinds of wires have been crossed lately. I think things are finally starting to untangle…

When some of the execs asked me why I made Luke Cage a bookworm, this was why. The majority of brothers I've known who have spent time inside, and aren't recidivist, come out bookworms. That's why Pop was a fan of Donald Goines, where Luke liked edgy Detective fiction (Mosley, Pelecanos, Price) re: Episode 102.
🇯🇲 Roots reggae friends and dub loves! Can anyone tell me how we are pronouncing the title of Burning Spear's big chune "JAH Boto"? I cyaa overstand if it's "boto" like "beau-toe", nor can I overstand what "boto" might mean. (Surely it isn't meant to be bootoo/butu.) Help!
10s across the board @duttypaul
It's the 🍿in 💺 for me! All love to the ones unkle G @Gavsborg and @EoinMacManus for this flirtation with real maraviolloso that is cleverly unruly. 📽 Check out "Popcaan Said My Riddims Aren't Good."
