Some of you on here invoke Black people or Black experiences, not for their own sake, but as supporting evidence, or as some sort of discursive gotcha, or as rhetorical devices to do the heavy lifting in your arguments.

It is dehumanizing and often ahistorical.

Black people are not your tools.

Texas state troopers are assaulting and arresting UT students, tying their hands with zipties. Protestors are chanting "Hands off our students."

If we can organize to feed and support protesting college students' encampments we can also do that for unhoused people.

Some people already do this, but I hope what's happening with the encampment at Columbia U (people bringing food, water, support and community) serves as a demonstrative lesson and empowers more people across NYC and the country to do those sorts of things for their neighbors for whom living in a tent is not solely a form of protest but their only shelter.

Wild that colleges are cool with the KKK and confederate flags on campus but not with students expressing solidarity with people experiencing a genocide, and that conservatives are constantly bemoaning their right to free speech when they are in fact the ones curtailing it for others.

I'm going to an action this week (I consider this the bare minimum). If you're an American academic I hope you are too.

Obviously we know the guy who took out a full-page newspaper ad advocating for the execution of 5 black men would be worse than Biden.

White democrats on here, consider doing something more useful than attempting to lecture black and brown people online by telling them things they already know.

Tennessee withheld billions of dollars from its one public HBCU, Tennessee State, and then tn house voted to oust its entire board and replace it with the governor's picks. Sounds about white

Our conversations about DEI need more nuance. In some spaces (like my former workplace) it was not taken up in good faith but put together quickly and thoughtlessly. It was raggedy and exploitative for marginalized workers (you know, the ones DEI is supposed to benefit?) who bore the brunt of emotional and intellectual labor while being hamstrung by administration and unable to do anything that was actually helpful. My experience working DEI was stressful and exhausting. However--

Saw someone (on a different hellsite) say in reference to kopmala kopmala-ing: "this is what you get when you have identity politics without intersectionality or class consciousness" and I really want folk to maybe consider not using words they don't fucking know.

"Imposter syndrome" is such a scam because many of the ones who fit the bill as non-imposters often make some of the most milquetoast comments in seminars and what they do say that's worth a damn is quite frequently a regurgitation of what an alleged imposter has already said. Many times repeating something that's just been said, in my experience.

How can I be an imposter if you are using my words? I'm not the first to say this: the term/concept needs to be retooled.

I want freedom for all indigenous peoples. I want thriving, not surviving for all indigenous peoples. I want a safe return to home. I want a home to return to. I want healing for mothers, grandmothers, and the land.

Representation still matters though, bc look how unsettled the racists are with their asinine "go woke go broke" mantra But like just like voting, it's the bare minimum.
