DO NOT SLEEP ON THE POWER OF READING/LISTENING TO ANYTHING @asv.bsky.social CREATES!!!
Becoming an Everyday Changemaker has been out *almost* a year. It felt like a slow start for it to find its readers, but in the past couple of months I've heard from at least 10 book clubs who are reading it and that is just dreamy.

In other news, Ramadan is starting on Saturday. Be kind to your Muslims friends who are fasting. If you think we're ignoring you around 5 pm, just know we're in a Ramadan Hibernation Zone preparing for sunset when we can eat and drink.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Big news. I’m running to replace Elise Stefanik in Congress. Since announcing, we raised $265k in just 21 days. 10,250 grassroots donors stepped up to chip in. We have to keep this momentum going. With so much on the line, will you chip in $21 for NY-21 so we can win this race?

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

I worry the horrific violence in NOLA (and conspiracy theory around it) might distract from the fact that white supremacist domestic terrorism is truly our greatest threat.
