in a country where it is becoming increasingly dangerous to not only be yourself, but also speak truth to power: days like today are important.
happy trans day of visibility, especially to those who are doing their best to make sure the next trans generation can see tomorrow.

I think a lot about how Black educators (myself included!) perpetuate the notion of ‘Black excellence’ with Black students.
Black children do not need to be ‘excellent’ to be treated like children. They shouldn’t need to be ‘excellent’ to be treated with dignity, respect, and humanity.

I am more interested in the traditions of Black love, grace, and mercy than the slogan “Black excellence.” Virtuosity is as virtue does.

a great video discussing the intersection between abolition ideals and a misogynistic culture that places the protection of male abusers above justice. the ending section broke my heart
My new Olurinatti Production is out! Tackled the fall of Tory Lanez, Carceral Feminism and why the public responds to abusers the way they do.
