Resting with some reading and man, sad that Audre Lorde’s words ring true all these decades later.

White women, we gotta know the call is coming from inside the house and do something about it. And white queer and trans people, this applies to you too.
A passage from an Audre Lorde essay is highlighted in pink. The text reads “ today, with the defeat of the ERA, the tightening economy, and increased conservatism, it is easier once again for white women to believe the dangerous fantasy that if you were good enough, pretty enough, quiet enough, teach the children to behave, hate the right people, and marry the right men, then you will be allowed to coexist with patriarchy in relative peace, at least until a man needs your job or the neighborhood rapist happens along.”

Hope to see some of my newly minted IU network on this app at the social!!
Graphic of white and red text against the silhouette of a black skyline. Text in the center of the graphic reads “IU HESA at ASHE. Brit’s Pub, November 22nd at 7pm. Join IU HESA faculty, students, alums, and friends for a reception at Brit’s Pub. 1110 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis MN”. In the lower left corner is the IU school symbol in read.

Petition for there to be, instead, #AcademicPets for the sake of all pets to be included!

Mine is this sweetie pie Malcolm! He’s been at every step of grad school with me!
