Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter to 8 white church leaders, written from a jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963.

_Material Girls_ is a great #podcast I listen to, taking a fun academic look at pop culture. (I don't know much about academia or media analysis, but this is how you learn!)

Check out Witch, Please for a Harry Potter podcast all about the Wizarding World from Hannah McGregor and Marcelle Kosman.

unfortunately, white supremacy shows up in communities of color, too. it’s often used as a tool to pit marginalized folks against each other. #intersectionality

While We are happy to see folks rally up against " #AI " and celebrate the things that differentiate us from statistical art laundering machines, it's always a bit alienating to see the common shortpaw for that being " #human " / " #humanity ".

Not only is that further reinforcing #anthropocentric narratives that we should really do away with, but also there are many folks who may not feel represented by that #label .

There's folks into #transhumanism who choose to no longer have this label apply to them, there's #therian folk who are just like that.

And then there's so, so many folks who get their humanity denied their whole lives because they are black or otherwise have an unwante- We mean diverse #race or #ethnicity , because they are #transgender , #gay , #aromantic / #asexual ("wanting sex/ a romantic partner is part of the human experience") or otherwise deviate from the cisgender heterosexual (white) man, are #ActuallyAutistic or otherwise #nerodiverse , have a #MentalIllness , are #disabled , We could go on.

Where's the #intersectionality in this? Is there really no better unifying criteria here than the result vy which the #patriarchy justifies its #abuse ?

We just wish to contribute to projects that make stuff better for all of us without worrying if We're "human" enough.
