@LaceyWilson4 Currently a Public History student in Boston, it’s come up a bit in classes, but it is mostly talked about with coworkers in different sites I’ve worked at. But we are also lucky to have a grad union on campus already, and have public history classes taught by labor historians.

@rachsyme Sitting in a hammock with four of my friends each reading a book we had bought the day before and slowing falling asleep for an afternoon nap in the sun to the sound of the wind in the trees.

@HyperfocusBren Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman, the sequel came out last month. It’s a fantasy novel that focuses on Tess as she takes to the road to find herself. While there are not the same labels used it is an inherently queer and trans novel. And also heartbreaking.

@HyperfocusBren One last thing! I checked and the Library of Congress has some cool family history resources and it looks like they do also take family history stuff. This was last updated in 2019 but might still be active if you are interested in something like that. https://t.co/ra0QEBg1Gz

@HyperfocusBren Typo, forgot to say that Mass Memories Road show is a great example of a collective archive. Some state universities might be running similar programs so that could be a place to look as well.

@HyperfocusBren Although that does not solve the problem of how to get these materials aside from when are intentionally given to an institution. Overall, it’s a work in progress and it does keep me up at night.

@HyperfocusBren Hi! I am currently in school to be an archivist and can hopefully answer your question! Archivists are working on preserving born-digital material, just like what you are talking about with google docs. Institutes can use tools like https://t.co/RKlg9uBhmG to collect documents.

When considering a BVI for my final I am going back to what Farred brought up, defining BVI as someone who produces knowledge in a vernacular way. What about people like Malcolm X he spread the Nation of Islam ideas. Is it intellectual or spreading someone else’s ideas? #gcaih

After reading “When They Call You A Terrorist” it brings to light how the institutions the BLM was fighting when the movement started, have still not been held accountable. They are just another form of colonial oppression in the US, like Fanon discussed. #gcaih

The ‘Mining the Past’ panel for the ESC connected with our class discussion! It brought up how Booker’s ideas are both a place of conforming with white ideas but also a place of self empowerment in the new skills learned at Tuskegee, which helps create Black modernity #gcaih

[Maci @iammacim]

Fanon's analysis of neocolonialism is best described as “the national bourgeoisie increasingly turns its back on the interior, on the realities of a country gone to waste, and looks toward the former metropolis and the foreign capitalists who secure its services” (111) #GCAIH

I am reading Domingo Álvares by James Sweet for my Africana Intellectual History class and it was interesting how it brought up what Africans brought to culture and art. It reminded me of what I’m learning in ethnomusicology about syncretism with African and European music #gcaih

@veschwab Tess of the Road by Rachel Heartman. It will break your heart and heal you at the same time.

On the morning of your sixteenth birthday, you awaken to a "tap-tap-tap" against the window. It's dawn; the world outside is foggy, sun-pinked gray.

After rubbing the sleep from your eyes, you blink...and find a crow at your window.

You...
