once more with feeling: Jonestown was a massacre, largely of Black women and children

their memories and their murders deserve better than being incorrectly used as shorthand for brainwashing

A Buddhist Studies Starter Pack is up and running! Envisioned as primarily academic, it’s also a place for librarians, publishers, and professional societies that work with Buddhist Studies to connect.

It’s a work in progress—add and share widely.
