PhD student. Kind, but not necessarily nice. I post about a lot of things some of the time: culture, art, plants, casual gaming, cat, weird little jokey jokes, rants against misogynoir and fascism, complaints about Texas, and more.

Relying on the master's tools only helps you become another tool of the master. Think bigger.

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

@fulanigirl 100%, and many of them have already been struggling for a while because their state governments (if they are public) purposefully make choices that undercut their chances of success. This has been the case with TSU.

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.

thiswomanswerk,
@thiswomanswerk@blacktwitter.io avatar

Identity politics, intersectionality, and a myriad of other terms have been dragged through the mud and completely divorced from their black (feminist) origins because people who haven't done the work of understanding (because they feel entitled to help themselves to use black people's and specifically bw's intellectual production) use these words however way they see fit, muddling the original intent + meaning of these words.

I'm sick of it!!! Words mean things.

"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.

(Context: I'm talking about academia and being a grad student but the concept applies elsewhere including in this digital space ๐Ÿ™ƒ)

I have had so many conversations with women of color who talk about times they've made a point in class that is ignored or dismissed only for someone from a more privileged background (often white, often male) to say the same thing minutes later and recieve positive attention. This is only one example, but it really highlights the point I'm trying to make.

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.

thiswomanswerk,
@thiswomanswerk@blacktwitter.io avatar

(Also I hate to center white reactions when what is more important is that the newly more diverse representation means a lot to so many children and adults but the crackers are so fucking loud with their hatred of black people.)

The whites are really in a tizzy about lift every voice and sing being sung at the big sport game. It would be funny if it weren't pathetic

@thiswomanswerk@blacktwitter.io avatar

First of all it's lift EVERY voice and sing. So no one is left out. Your shitty natl anthem was written by a slavery-supporting, jingoistic weirdo--it's an upgrade, sweetie

Representational politics are meh and ineffective for long-term material change, but they sure do get the crackers crackalackin.
