ive trying to consciously make studying enjoyable, but also rigorous and productive lately. started by downloading forest and tidying up my desk (a very good mix of art and law obvs). today is day one. hope everyone is staying safe.

Institutionalized racism

It’s taken us too long to post this on Tumblr, we’re sorry. We’ve compiled a syllabus that is free to all that addresses institutionalized racism and how it’s caused historic, pointed harm at the Black community in the U.S. Understanding history is key to understanding the present, and in order to make real changes, we need to fully understand the racist history of the U.S. Black Lives Matter.

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not 

ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think 

needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work

reminder that when change.org asks you to “chip in’ after you’ve signed a petition, that money does NOT go to the petition organizer or any related fundraiser. change.org uses misleading language like this to trick you into paying them. they’re a for-profit corporation. don’t give them your money, send what you can to verified bail funds / gofundme campaigns / etc. instead

Pretty wild that Daniel Radcliffe wasn’t even a teenager when he met JKR and he’s so quickly become the progressive legend that she has always imagined herself to be

studyblrs!! if you are like me and you are out of school for the summer, wanting to learn new things, and wanting to read new books, now is the PERFECT time to start decolonizing your education. there are so many solid books on racism and antiracism and so many LISTS out there of where to start.

it’s becoming clearer every day that we non-Black folk have a lot to learn. feel free to pm me for resources or look them up yourself. let’s own up to our privilege and do our part.

great resource for finding books, but i second a lot of the comments on this— buy the book and support the author (and preferably a black owned bookstore!) OR check it out from your library to a) support your local library and b) help show them the interest in those works and authors

HUGE list of free (!!) books by black authors and revolutionaries. includes writings by toni morrison, james baldwin, assata shakur, angela davis, malcolm x, audre lorde and frantz fanon.

25 Black-owned bookstores you can support right now

while i don’t claim to be a “book blogger” by any account (more of a cranky publishing-person blogger most days), i know a lot of people have followed me through my book posts, so i’m taking advantage of that captive audience to boost these bookstores. shop them through their own websites and if you’re local, look into curbside pickup to minimize shipping costs and overhead. okay that’s all thanks bye stay safe.

To everyone who is still studying despite the pandemic, I’m so fucking proud of you.

To everyone who isn’t studying because, well, we are in the midst of a pandemic and it’s hard to focus, it’s okay.

Studying or coping, either way, I’m so proud of you and keep going.

Love, Ax
