I'm putting together a list of books published by members of the Black Panther Party and affiliates, after being unable to find a similar resource elsewhere. Please share and let me know what needs to be added! https://t.co/IWQOES2Qxh

@dieworkwear Dreaming that this will lead to you engaging further with @Prolapsarian and his partner Anne Boyer, author of ‘Garments Against Women’.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@stalecooper Michael Deforge’s Birds of Maine!

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@dan_sinykin @marxforcats Wonderful and idiosyncratic book—worth it even if you don’t care a whit for Updike.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@lint_ax Decimated the program she was supposed to direct at Hopkins, when I was there. But the grift continues in different forms.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@marxforcats Other than Ellison, there are writers like Elizabeth Smart, Jean Toomer, Fran Ross, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Alison Mills. But in most of these cases, there are significant confounding factors, I think.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@outsidadgitator Updike's Rabbit books are, I think, the clearest expression of this—especially the 2nd, where in response to a failing marriage and economic decline, Rabbit tries to fall in with an increasingly nihilistic commune, only to return to his marriage.

@_TimBarker I talked about this with Beverly Silver a couple years ago, and as I recall the answer was yes, but not substantially.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@n_hold @_TimBarker I could imagine the council (though I have no idea of their positions) trying an (imo indefensible) argument that parallels the MLA council’s one—that the resolution is financially infeasible because it puts federal and state funding at risk.

@Arbeit_Fish A really beautiful book! Has some more recent books as well also worth picking up–on the Frankfurt School's reception of jazz, on african american political writing and critical theory, and on MLK's non-violence in conversation with Banjamin.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@Arbeit_Fish Agree with this 100%, really only popped into the thread to suggest that Garvey's position is more than merely potentially 'analogical' to fascism, as you have it in the first post.

Probably going to bail on twitter for other pastures soon, but want to keep resources like this and my BPP list as up to date as possible.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

Spent a while updating this today. As ever, looking for things that are missing. Hoping I can get this hosted on a proper website soon.

As a resource for my class this semester, I’ve been assembling a bibliography of fiction by trans, non-binary, and two-spirit authors. Thought I would make it accessible here for anyone who might be interested: https://t.co/37dPZCdSZ7

@SarahMDowling1 Agreed. Toronto looks like they made the logo a caduceus for some reason? Like, to symbolize that only people with doctor's salaries can afford to live there, maybe?

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@SarahMDowling1 It's incredible how horrible these are, except the Montreal jersey/logo. Toronto the worst, by far.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@SarahMDowling1 Only just seeing this thread now, and I beamed with recognition (and it's hard to make me smile this week).

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

Showed Gregg Bordowitz' 'Fast Trip, Long Drop' to my class today, and as ever, I adore this moment—today especially, as we hold the wreckage of representation.

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@brouillettese Obsessed with him loving 'Breaking Free' (great book).

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@mcmansionhell *not, rather than 'nor'

[jo aurelio giardini @downevent]

@mcmansionhell Thank you for this—it's part of what's so incredible about Madeline's book, that it asks us, in having solidarity with children, to have solidarity with ourselves *as* children, and to find in this nor naivety but a reservoir of strength and empathy.
