My Linktree always has quick actions, my database of middle-grade/YA books (almost all #ownvoices ), and a family-owned place to get KN95/N95/level 3 surgical masks at wholesale pricing.
If you have any recommendations for actions or books (esp your own!), just let me know!

The insistence of people that addressing whiteness and racism must be done without hurting anyone's feelings or making them uncomfortable is whiteness in action.
What other group in America gets make their feelings primary over justice?
That is the definition of white privilege.

And if we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times, it is not the marginalized person's responsibility to school people who have the privilege and opportunity to educate themselves. What we NOT gone do is accept, "it's your fault you didn't teach me better." We are not the help.

If I had a dollar for every time in the last 8 months I saw someone say “I haven’t been this sick in years!” I could pay all the medical bills my insurance is supposed to be covering 🥴

Again. Racism is not just the overt. And when it comes down to it in this and several other contexts: impact is way greater than intent.
When called out: Listen, learn, brush yourself off, feel any feelings, and then do better with the new information you now have.

The Meaning of Jenin - CounterPunch.org
The target seems to have been Jenin itself and not just its people and physical structures, but what Jenin represents to the world, the image it depicts about the nature of the Israeli occupation and the enduring Palestinian resistance against it. Jenin exists; therefore it must be destroyed. Yet it..

Intergenerational trauma is wild.
Backstory: Since I was a toddler, I’ve had a fear that I’ll say goodnight/goodbye to my parents & never see them again.
I still think it every time I say goodnight/goodbye to them, even if they’re just running an errand, but I’ve learned to manage it.

"Be kind" is code. Do you understand it is code? Can you come to accept that? And can you then accept what your culturally enforced mandate of "kindness" really, really, really means to the cultures you relentlessly enforce it on? In a deeply unkind way?
"Be kind" really, really, really means:
1/3

The discursive project of fascism is to convince you that that power dynamics are upside-down. Dominant groups and people are ‘oppressed.’ Marginalized people are in fact dominant ‘oppressors.’
The beneficiaries are the elite of the capitalist class.

Periodic reminder that telling someone you couldn’t tell they’re trans isn’t a compliment.
I know y’all mean well, but it’s not.
Appropriate response options include:
- Thanks for trusting me with that.
- Oh, okay!
- Cool!
…and then continue with the conversation.

Very good quiz.
"Often we learn ableist values and beliefs from society, said Lydia X. Z. Brown, a prominent disability justice activist and attorney. “Those ideas don’t come out of a vacuum,” they said. “Ableism is so pervasive and deeply embedded in society that almost nobody ever questions it.”"
