“So the Detroit that eventually became Detroit, you can see it has at least three different grid plans. There’s that original kind of shattered shard of Woodward’s plan of threes and sixes. […] And so Detroit in that way is a map of all of those disparate intentions over the years.”

In disbelief. The NYT named Born in Flames one of 100 Notable Books of 2025

Perfect. Frankenstein by @realgdt.bsky.social 1. the reinterpretation of Shelley is urgent, smart AF 2. the decisions hoisted on the monster are stunning 3. the attachments to modernity (empire and its racial-economic trappings) are quiet and cutting 4. Victor. Elizabeth. 5. setting, lighting. ✌🏾💕

I’m still cheering for the Jays—they are an incredible team—and I don’t really like the Dodgers lol

McKittrick analisa diversos textos de intelectuais e artistas que vão de Sylvia Wynter à dupla de música eletrônica Drexciya, explorando como narrativas de imprecisão e relacionalidade interrompem sistemas de conhecimento que buscam observar, indexar, conhecer e disciplinar a negridade.

Em Querida ciência e outras histórias, Katherine McKittrick traz um estudo rigoroso das metodologias negras e anticoloniais. Apoiada nos estudos raciais, na geografia cultural e no feminismo negro, posiciona tanto as narrativas, quanto as histórias negras como estratégias de invenção e colaboração.

Because certainly there's no reason why this history might be terrifyingly relevant right now, here's a link to preorder @stschrader1.bsky.social's "Blue Power" on how police in the US organized to exempt themselves from democratic oversight and control: redemmas.org/titles/48838...

Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye sold just 2,000 copies in its first year. Today, it’s a number many authors can’t recover from. Writer @tajjaisen.bsky.social examines how the publishing industry’s sales track can make or break careers before they even begin: thewalrus.ca/the-publishing-i...

this Tylenol business uncovers the depths of misogyny. I mean these people despise women and mothers and mothering and are finding ways to destroy their kids by implying autism is a disease (impure, passed on) and by and shoring up eugenic thinking. brainless violence.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
