Affirmative action gutted.

Black, Ethnic, LGBTQ+ & Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies attacked.

The fall of Roe.

Banning books.

Banning ideologies coined by Black Feminists.

And y’all want Black academics to go on as business as usual?

Nah.

Too many scholars conflate "environmentalism" or "talking about environment/landscape" with "environmental justice"

Matcha mushroom 🍄 for me. Plus Blu’s first crop - a beautiful heirloom purple bean 🫘 (playing it cool but super proud of her🥰) + a new plant for my home office.

[Whitney Barr, MLA @whitneydbarr]

I’ll always be a coffee lover, but the matcha mushroom mix feels so much better to me. No hard crash and the energy translates to focus rather than just kinda being hype all over lol.
