'Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom' by bell hooks examines how teachers can foster students' freedom in the classroom. I like how she mentions education can be fun. I was surprised a college professor would feel that way.

Only on the first chapter and I am very thankful I can across this recommendation. It addresses every thought I’ve had about my treatment in society- from work, to relationships, etc. Just reading these stories and research just validates my feelings and experiences. 😭 #Blackbooksky

Women were excluded from clinical trails until 1993 in the U.S. and 1997 in Canada. @namshine.bsky.social talks with @docmcohen.medsky.social (@queensuhealth.bsky.social) about excluding women has shaped medicine and harmed women’s health, on (MIS)Treated: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...

When a black person is telling you that something is specifically targeting black people, piping up to be like "Well, actually" and "Nuh, uh" is literally the most annoying **** in the whole universe.

The way I'm eating this book up!! The author has packed in so many details about the people, the world, history and myth that even when we are in a particular character's pov I still can get a feel of what the other characters are thinking and feeling 👀. Rn I feel tense and worried! #BookSky 📚🩸

'The Man in my Basement' by Walter Mosley is an excellent show of power not being just a physical state but a mental, psychological hold as we watch the main character bend to the will of a man who seemingly has no control at all. #BlackBookSky #BlackReaders #BlackSky #DiverseBookSky
