I block so many people on this website I DEFINITELY don't remember specific instances or accounts ... just saying aloud. I block to preserve my own peace, that's it.

I wrote a new piece for @truthout.org looking back at 2025 — a year when educators didn’t just endure repression, they built resistance. ✊🏽📚

Education has never been neutral—It either liberates or subjugates.

Here are the stories of those who resisted subjugation.

In 2025, Educators Didn’t Just Endure Repression. They Built Resistance.
The right wants the teaching of history to no longer indict power or inspire resistance. But our side won’t submit.

Thank you Bill Littlefield @ Arts Fuse for this thoughtful review: Chilling Inquiry into Institutional Indifference artsfuse.org/322316/book-...
Book Review: "The Coroner’s Silence" - A Chilling Inquiry into Institutional Indifference - The Arts Fuse
The title of this revelatory book might suggest that it’s limited to uncovering the deficiencies and biases of a particular profession. But "The Coroner’s Silence" is far more than that.

I know I haven’t posted for a while, it’s hard to keep up with multiple social media sites and still function as a business.

Anyways, here’s some of my latest items currently available on my website if anyone is interested in supporting a small art business in this shopping lull! (link in bio).

"The Uhura in Leigh’s piece also remains silent, dutifully pressing buttons and congenially smiling. Nichelle Nichols, who played the original Uhura, holds a significant place in Black history and is often cited as one of the first black female television characters in the US that wasn’t a maid."

Artist Simone Leigh recalled time spent as a child watching Star Trek and patiently waiting for Uhura to speak:

“I had to deal with the conundrum that she mostly repeated one line,” she remembers.

Nichelle Nichols was born on this day in 1932 in Robbins, Ill. She is best known for her role as Communications Officer Lieutenant Nyota Uhura in the original Star Trek series. Her portrayal represented one of the first times a Black woman was cast in a non-stereotypical role. /1

Thanks for tagging me!

As a rule of thumb, we could sum it up like this:

Conocer as being or becoming familiar(ised) with something.

Saber is more about data and skill.

Watch Ms. Nina Simone talking about freedom.

"What does freedom mean to me? I’ll tell you what freedom is to me: no fear.
I mean really, no fear… like a new way of seeing something."
—Nina Simone, 1970

Ota Benga's teeth were filed to points consistent with Mbuti tradition, and that was one or many things used to otherwise him.

Simone Leigh honored him by hand-carving each tooth in porcelain except one looks like gold.

Marcus Wesley as Ota Benga.

"Ota Benga (c. 1883 – March 20, 1916) was a Mbuti (Congo pygmy) man, known for being featured in an exhibit at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri, and as a human zoo exhibit in 1906 at the Bronx Zoo."
