So the states’ rights folks are the first since 1965 to deploy the national guard to a state that did not request it? Got it

So far this month I passed my qualifying exams for my PhD program, got my first conference proposal acceptance, and turned 30. Glory to the ancestors because I don't know how I'm still functioning given *waves generally at the fascist chaos*

My conference proposal was accepted for November: "Not Like Us Either: The Kendrick Lamar/Drake Rap Beef as a Case Study for Critical Mixed-Race Ethics"

This is a really interesting way of saying “I didn’t even try to understand Kendrick’s performance”

I’ll say it: a concentration camp. Now will this post stay up? That’s a different question. But if it does, Hitler And The Nazis: Evil On Trial is a docuseries on Netflix that can help folks understand why we have to say the quiet part out loud.
He’s getting closer to sending them to the thing everyone won’t say out loud.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.

"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

When you’re Black and Jewish 😅 I’ve felt it in my bones for a while now. Once the ancestors start telling you that we’ve been here before, it’s time to start moving accordingly
The only two groups that I've seen who deeply understand the spiritual peril we are in:

Black women and Jewish women.

I'm talking about feeling it in the cells, our bones. Like, making emergency exit plans.

I'm not trying to be hyperbolic, just saying the truth.

The extremely abbreviated version: I got a master of divinity degree. I already had one foot out the door but that did it for me. Now I’m the spiritual-but-not-religious cliche

Amidst the *waves generally at the dumpster fire that is our reality* I’m also studying for comp exams for my PhD in ethics. I study how people negotiate their ethics in times that feel apocalyptic, and I’ll include the broad topics for my exams below in case people want to learn more

Anyone want to talk about emergent strategy and historical examples of black mutual aid clubs/orgs? I gotchu if so
I think a lot of people have mutual aid confused with charity on here, maybe because folks most often see it in the context of fundraiser asks (which are great!).

I want to talk a little about what it looks like in everyday life.

Because we need it more than ever. Government is getting shredded.

What was supposed to be on the menu this Christmas/Hanukkah:

-fried chicken
-mac and cheese
-collard greens
-yams
-latkes

I come from Black Baptists and Ashkenazi Jews, so the ancestors were ready to get cookin, but covid had other plans 😒

The Christmas/Hanukkah dinner I had planned was gonna be *chef’s kiss* but now I have covid… Chinese takeout it is

Anyone want to take bets on the chance that I cite Beyonce or Kendrick in at least one of my comprehensive exams?
