here is a list of reading i’ve been sharing for anyone interested in relevant literature. all from poc perspectives with the exception of the managed heart. will be adding links to these as well as other reading to this thread. feel free to share.
@FortBendISD What’s the 1000$ distinction between a special education teacher and a teacher who teaches special education students while bearing responsibility for them all day including arrival, dismissal, recess, and lunch? Such great teachers in FBISD. Exclusion does not improve morale.
When we say “we need more affordable housing, healthcare & debt forgiveness” and the government response is “no, we will increase police spending instead” that is one of the most blatant examples of modern structural racism. But liberals keep normalizing it & ignoring the data.
it is so much easier & kinder on the eyes, ears, and mind, to pretend the genocidal war being waged against us, is just a result of not having enough of the ‘good guys’ i.e., democrats in-office, instead of reckoning with colonial-capitalist political economy as a death machine
not forgiving that loser for hoarding the kind of wealth he’s hoarded largely on the backs of Latin American people while actively continuing to dismiss them as performers of his work.
@_TahjMahal_ QUIETLY!!! I want a judge with some zest. It’s to the point where it literally doesn’t matter if prue likes or dislikes ur bake. They’re baking for Paul 🤷🏽♀️
Go mourn. But don't be shocked. This was part of how this shit works, mind you. But go mourn, so that when you're done, you do what you must to defend yourself and your community through study, solidarity, spirit, and struggle. Because this ruling was a message to be honest
@ISR4_H not really true. Travis is a mainstream artist engaging with a subculture that came long before him. we don’t say this about rave culture and it has racist undertones. Your art doesn’t speak for what you actually condone and do. Blood is on his hands for not stopping the show.
