#Bol has always amazed me with their #BlackFeminism tax, now they double down on the environmental tax.

Listening to a podcast on a book that's on my to-read-pile: "as Scott Branson argues in their new book, Practical Anarchism: a Guide for Daily Life, the label itself is of secondary importance, and anarchism is something many of us are already practising in our daily lives, whether we realise it or not.

From relationships to school, work, art, even the way we organise our time, the book shows us that anarchism can help us find fulfilment, empathy and liberation in the everyday.

Scott joins us on the show for a conversation about their vision of a ‘practical anarchism’. We discuss the ways in which it is informed by Black and queer feminisms, how we can work to disidentify from the logic of capital and the state, and why we shouldn’t throw out the idea of ‘utopia’ altogether."

Over 3000 signatories so far.

"As academics, artists, advocates, policy-makers, and concerned persons from different parts of the world, we emphatically oppose the attacks being waged on educational curricula in the United States and elsewhere against intersectionality, critical race theory, Black feminism, queer theory, and other frameworks that address structural inequality. We join the thousands of signatories who have opposed censoring critical content in public and higher education. We also agree with the 30 Black LGBTQ organizations that have denounced the “relentless attacks that have led to book banning, curriculum censorship, politically motivated purges of educators, and an exodus of skilled teachers.” …

"When the College Board finally made public its long-awaited African American Studies course on February 1, students were left with a watered-down curriculum that expunged key lessons, scholarship, and course goals from previous drafts of the course. Contemporary issues such as structural racism, Black Lives Matter, reparations, and prison abolition—issues that resurfaced during 2020’s reckoning with anti-Black racism and increased student demand for African American studies—were reduced or eliminated. Lessons and course goals pertaining to intersectionality, Black queer studies, and Black feminism had been removed entirely or downgraded to untested optional material, subject to state and local censors …

"Contrary to “anti-woke” propaganda and the College Board’s conclusion, intersectionality is a vibrant and organic conceptualization of historical and social dynamics. In its most basic form, intersectionality is a prism that uncovers how structures of subordination often interact, exacerbating the problem-solving challenges faced by those who are multiply marginalized …

"We cannot expect anyone—students or ourselves—to understand problems we are no longer permitted to name or to prepare for a future we cannot imagine. The fight for our ideas, our language, and our history is critical to the fight for our lives. Thus, we demand that the College Board restore critical concepts, scholarship, and frameworks to the African American Studies course, and to resist pending demands from other states to bend to their “anti-woke” orthodoxy."

Sikivu Hutchinson is one of the most intellectually & relentlessly Black Humanist Feminist thinkers/activists/artists I've ever met. Her intellect is intimidating, in that way of admiration. She has never not razor criticized heteropatriarchal whiteness in the atheist movement, which has then meant that she built the space & time that she saw need for, largely locally in LA, but also through her scholarly and artistic work.

My short personal EOY list of books out of what I've been reading. Wishing a good turn-of-the-year to everybody🕯️:

☞ Bell Hooks, Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black.
[🖤]

☞ Nawal El Saadawi, Woman at Point Zero.
[Iconic, Heartbreaking]

☞ Robin D. G. Kelley, Freedom Dreams
[In the midst of reading it but can already tell it goes STRAIGHT TO THE TOP]

☞ Melanie Mitchell, Complexity: A Guided Tour.
[liked it for the topic and accessible writing, despite a bit too much cult of the outdated "male genius" figure and a few neo-liberal assumptions]

Next upcoming, probably :

☞ Leanne Simpson, Dancing on our Turtle's Back.
