“Because we tend to see ourselves as individuals, rather than as white individuals, we proceed as if power dynamics are not at play in our cross-racial interactions.” - Robin DiAngelo #blacklivesmatter #niceracism

I recently finished Regina Jackson and Saira Rao's incredibly helpful book: White Women, Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better. For all of us who know the learning will never be finished, I highly recommend. @race2dinner @sairaforcongress

A repost, courtesy of Lijo Joy. The start of school for parents (and their children) is like another New's Year's Day. I find as I get older, my resolutions tend towards trying to remember things I have already learned, but forget so easily. These are among them.

Among the many lessons I took from a recent re-read of the hauntingly beautiful, Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel Beloved but Toni Morrison. @tonimorrison.bsky.social

What an interesting mix. A lost sister, a raunchy reality tv show, and a cast of strong, understandably pissed off women of multiple generations. Thank you Claire Jimenez! #books

I loved this recent Atlantic article "What a Spiral of Silence can do to a Democracy" by Betsy Levy Paluck. She writes, "People interpret silence to mean quiet acceptance... which begets further misunderstanding about what a society actually collectively believes or wants." @theatlantic #resist

In this one line, poet and scholar Diamond Forde encapsulates the academic research supporting "the tyranny of the nice and the kind (Gilligan and Brown)" endured by women. That is, society's edict that proclaims: "Women! Be nice, or be ostracized."

Just finished this award-winning novel, Without You Here by Jody Hobbs Hesler. (Flexible Press)
I loved the nature vs. nurture question it explores. Two relatives, of different generations, with similar “natures” receive different “nurture” growing up...
Highly recommend!
