Medical anthropologist. PhD student. No tolerance for anti-Black rhetoric/behavior...which means I may already have you blocked or muted.
I post mutual aid and donation opportunities on this account. Also whatever else I want.
Relying on the master's tools only helps you become another tool of the master.
I take a while with follow reqs.

quick question: what the fuck
I have really good friends in my life 😭
Anyway I'm thinking we should start the Juneteenth reparations thread early and just go through the entire summer. Black ppl get your links and mutual aid asks together.
Let's try to make it extra big this year. Let's make pro-Black mutual aid a living, breathing infrastructure on fedi. I know there are a growing number of us sharing links and threads and things, can we link up?
Really good essay about the labor whiteness loves to demand of black women, re: Jasmine Crockett.
"They want the Black woman who will nurture the movement without making demands of it. They want the Black woman who will keep the coalition warm, organized, morally legible, and electorally viable without asking why her own leadership abilities were treated like a insignificant or lesser until somebody else needed her credibility."
Hiiii, if you've ever supported or purchased something from my Ko-fi shop, I am offering a free hi-res download! (That includes if you support or buy something *today*, wink, nudge)

I wrote the blog y'all: "What You're Getting Wrong about Identity Politics: Notes from a Re-Read of Combahee
"When leftists reject identity politics without having done the reading...I do not see the humility necessary to practice good political solidarity...I see someone who is not really interested in doing the hard work of building a coalition, but one who is enamored with political catharsis and hierarchy draped in revolutionary aesthetics.

me, before washing my hair: it's gonna take so loooooong; I have other things I need to do today; Imma have to retwist and all that stuff. 😤
me, while washing my hair: I live here now. I am an aquatic being who is meant for the life of head massages and wet hair flips. A daughta of da wata. I went in search of my mothers' gardens and this is what I found 🧜🏿♀️
Gonna call these past couple journals "Notes from a Dying Empire" ht Fanon
whites, y'all really showed y'all's asses with this bafta shit. I have a whole new list of who not to trust on here.
at least ole dude seemingly offered a real apology to michael b jordan and delroy lindo. some of y'all would do well to learn from that
I unmuted just to see something and...Trying to differentiate the n slur with "American vs English cultural history" is actually hilarious because who the fuck invented the word in the first place?
I swear you Europeans got some jolly good gotdamn nerve.
You can't even offer the basic grace of acknowledging the use of the word was harmful until you are shamed into it.
This is why I muted your ass, because there is literally no point in talking to you except to drain myself.
31 years old and still haven't made friends with a corvid. what am i even doing with this life

casual reminder that there's no such thing as objective science. Science is social knowledge. Objectivity is a social constructed concept that humans can only hope to aspire to~
argue with helen longino, not me
finding out ppl apparently hate bubbly black girls makes so many things from my younger years make so much more sense

Dirty Deleta, no 🎶

Dear White #anthropologists: y'all gotta start citing more Black people and especially Black women in your work. We (black women anthropologists) are disproportionately undercited (Smith 2021). Also, a lot of y'all are kinda bad about half-reading us (I have had several white male anthropologists *egregiously* misquote bell hooks and Audre Lorde to me, hoping for a pat on the back, I suppose). Read, and cite, BW deeply and faithfully.

What do you love about the US? From macaroni and cheese, rock music, to the slang we use-- our contributions. Yet this society constantly abuses and exploits us while failing to recognize us and demanding more of our labor.
This thread is but a partial attempt to redistribute some wealth among us. Black people, pls reply to this thread with your mutual aid asks/links for PayPal, cashapp, etc as you see fit. Others, please share and contribute as allowed by your means.
Pls boost

I think the unemployment numbers for US Black women are even higher now, maybe close to 600k
We make up 25% of the poor, disproportionately high numbers compared to other race-gender demographics. Also important to take into account things like immigration status, disability, transness...all of these identities attract economic penalties and we're fucked if ya can't acknowledge that
