Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

“Nations reel and stagger on their way; they make hideous mistakes; they commit frightful wrongs; they do great and beautiful things. And shall we not best guide humanity by telling the truth about all this, so far as the truth is ascertainable?”

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

This is the 2nd anniversary of the start of a genocide that made Gaza the most dangerous place on earth for children— that has raised a mirror to the rot at the core of our world.

Never has it been clearer that none of us are free until Palestine is free.

I’m looking at what Black women artists did in their thirties.

Lucille Clifton published Good Times at 32.

Toni Morrison published The Bluest Eye at 39.

So glad that I set up these one-on-one meetings during week 7. 1) we all needed the break, 2) students seem to really enjoy the course so far (even though the readings can be dense), 3) I have a much better picture about how I will handle the rest of the semester 😀

Today, in lieu of class, I'm holding one-on-one sessions with my graduate Contemporary Theory students. I'm looking forward to their response to the course thus far and happy to have a break from some pretty dense reading 📚 but super excited to read Fanon and Cèasaire next week! /1
