Does anyone know of peer-reviewed work on Collier's African/American Library? This piece is good and includes great cover images, but is very short justseeds.org/240-colliers... cc @zunguzungu.bsky.social

If you have any leads on any jobs, I'm still looking. I'm in a suburb of Boston, but can relocate if the salary is sufficient to pay full rent/loans/living expenses (as I'd be moving without my husband). My specialisms are US post-war culture, Hollywood, & media literacy. My CV is available here:

Every, I mean EVERY White American should be forced learn about the Tulsa and Rosewood, along with the myriad, full-blown racist massacres, white Americans have committed against Black Americans, throughout U.S. History whenever we were able to actually thrive and control our own economies.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

Remain radicalized. Remember why. Protect your communities but never take advantage of them. Respect those who take the time to respect you. Respect others and yourself. Give yourself grace to make mistakes. Build your mind. Protect your heart. Do no harm but take no shit. Love one another. Be well.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Dr. King suffered many bouts of severe depression. His autopsy found that he had a heart consistent with a 60 year old. He was murdered at 39. Stress, threats and exhaustion will do that to a person. #TheUnSanitizedKing

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

THIS.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

White folks. Watch this. Twice if you have to. And don’t just listen to her. Understand what it is she is saying.

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

Getting older is about having more and more admin to do until it takes you out.

Photo of the Day. A young woman, identifying herself as disabled & going to a doctors appointment, had her car windows smashed, was dragged out, cuffed & led away by ICE agents. The incident happened at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, not far from Renee Good’s murder. *Credit to photographer, Tim Evans

University of Arizona Libraries is hiring for a RARE BOOK LIBRARIAN! 1st review of applications February 9, 2026. arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/caree... We have great collections and great people here. Not on the committee, happy to chat.

A true hero. Rest in power.

Zeal: A Journal for the Liberal Arts seeks submissions for Provocations & Occasions. These interdisciplinary essays are funny, or uncommonly creative, or written with unaccustomed zeal. More info is here: zeal.kings.edu/zeal/Submiss...

For centuries, a “gossip” was a woman who attended another woman's delivery. The word was a corruption of “god-sib” or “god-sibling,” meaning “sister in the Lord.” The gossips offered support to mother & midwife. Only later did it become derogatory. More info: www.historyextra.com/period/gener...

Part of what I loved about Seoul: subway stops had clean large public bathrooms, couches, TVs, and AC BEFORE you paid to get on the train.

And this is still true. My streak of zero use ever continues, so I’m not asking anything of them I don’t commit to and practice myself.

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

So there's a connection here, right? It's SPECIFICALLY her saintly demeanor that aggravated the guy. Anger and hate he's prepared for, he knows what those are, how to process them But Good was placing herself above him, morally; literally being the better person. And that's just intolerable.

not getting shot in the face by a government thug after dropping your kid off at a school is a kitchen table issue, probably the most talked about issue at kitchen tables right now honestly

I had my students read this essay for class yesterday, and it kicked off the most wonderful conversations about reading, writing, and thinking. We talked about attention, the pandemic, grades, skimming, time, learning, and genAI - a delight. carlhendrick.substack.com/p/ultra-proc...

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Happy #ThoughtfulThursday lovely phone family. How's your week been so far? Many of the issues we face are because we're all expected to fit in to a system that isn't flexible and doesn't recognise our differences. We need one that works for all of us. Have an amazing day ☕️🐈‍⬛ #HaveCourageAndBeKind ❤️

we’re never returning to “normal “ that world is dead and gone we create a new one, or we live in hell

ok idk what to do so starting a thread of protests against ICE in various cities as i become aware of them—NONE OF THESE ARE TONIGHT

I’m biased but I agree! If you’re interested in ways we can improve the higher ed workplace, pick up a copy of The Caring University! www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after ICE just killed a civilian: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

If Dems aren't throwing fireballs and making this into the biggest story ever, dump all of them. If any piece of shit in office talks about lowering costs instead of "Trump is taking over countries and ice is killing Americans on the street," they're in on it. And let em know if it's your Rep or Sen

The Minnesota police should arrest the shooter and force a confrontation with the feds. Enough. Enough.

The Black history we need and deserve 🤣✊🏾🤣✊🏾 #blacksky

Amazon invented a problem: "we're gonna leave millions of valuable packages just laying on the side of the street every day" and then was like "oh no look at all these disgusting criminals taking advantage of you, here, buy this surveillance camera" and like 90% of Americans said "cool"

The last year was very hard as my father was dying. It became that much harder when I discovered that AI played a role in amplifying his physical pain, and perhaps hastening the end of his life. It wasn’t easy to write about what happened, but I’ve tried. open.substack.com/pub/buildcog...

In principle, empires always fall, and we should, too. But I'd prefer a fall with the lowest body count possible. There are tens of millions of good, wonderful Americans who deserve to live. It's hard. It's hard.

The majority of Americans can’t locate Venezuela on this map

As we say farewell to 2025, my parting message is from one of my favorite movies youtu.be/8DWeVs-tDXA?...

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.
