I never tire listening to #JamesBaldwin. A great extract 👇🏽 of this monumental debate at #Cambridge Uni (in full https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tek9h3a5wQ0), highlighting what is sadly still true: a lot of what is seen as #progress in the West, including the #AmericanDream has been achieved at the expense of the #Black people ( #BIPOC at large). Until we collectively acknowledge where this comfort comes from, we can't move past the myth of #MAGA & other #fascist fancy. As #BLM wisely says: no #justice, no #peace.
On this day in 1965, James Baldwin participated in a nationally televised debate against archconservative William Buckley on the topic of segregation.
The debate is considered a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights movement.

I love my Blackness.
I love being Black.
I wouldn’t ever want to be anything else.
I love who I am.
Black Is Beautiful.
Blackness Is Beautiful.
Always and forever. ✊🏿

Three generations of #Black students in #Philly say not much has changed in their schools.
They describe bias, low expectations and harsher discipline, decades apart. New research from voices across generations, ages 14 to 95.

Unfortunately - #MutualAid is shit on by many here in the #Fediverse and until folx who claim to want #Black #Brown #queer and #disabled and otherwise marginalized peoples alive stop shitting on #MA many of us are stuck there
I've always had more support to stay alive and away from #ACABs on those platforms than I ever have here
For us it's not about entertainment - ik what you're saying and I kinda agree but, the reality is only the privileged can "dump it"

Dump it.
All of it.
I don't care if the rest of your family is on Facebook, and too stubborn/lazy to move elsewhere.
I don't care if your favorite celeb is on Instagram and nowhere else.
I don't give a single rat's fuck if the nice old knitting lady whose TikToks are so wholesome can't be found elsewhere.
The centralized social media sites support the fash, and you are enabling that with your engagement.
"But Mastodon is too hard.." NO. It's called learning something new. That's your convenience addiction talking.
Fucking find your soul and dump them.

So I guess it's time for an #introduction. Well, I'm a 30 something #Black #queer woman. I love to read #books. I love the #NYKnicks. I like #bicycles even though, it's not my primary mode of transportation. I like refurbishing and upgrading old electronics, specifically #iPods and #laptops. #TV and music have kept me going more than anything else. I'm branching into #Linux and getting more familiar with #FOSS. I am a #blogger and I have linked my blog in my bio.
