Take a second to vote for me in the Best of Circlet’s Digital Library Poll? The story I’ve got in the running is “At The Crossroads” by Monique Poirier. As of this afternoon I’d fallen off the top three. ;____;
It’s kind of disheartening that I have 450+ followers but only 40 votes.
Please reblog this to keep spreading the word.
done and signal boosting!

Random Thought:
I wish I wish I wish that the discourse around originality would leave contemporary Black music. Being the originator of music did become a problem until white folks started steeling our music, copyrighting it as their own, and making bank of our culture. Not to say no one ever wrote a song. But the influences from artist to artist, musical product to musical product was visible and laudible.

The Rising Attacks on Black Women Since the... →
blahblahblather:
I hadn’t really made the connection with the first lady and the increased attacks on black women, so I greatly appreciated and enjoyed this read. The only thing I didn’t like about the article, and someone may have already mentioned this, is that it (or I felt that it) unintentionally places middle class values and white notions of respectability as good, and working class...

See here…..
My mostly white women and gender studies class, after reading the Combahee River Collective, wanted to know if they could be Black Feminists because they cared about all those issues and wanted to end oppression and liberate women etc..
I said no. I stand by no. Mainly because, I believe it was Patricia Hill Collins, had a...

When do boys meet girls?

vagabondaesthetics:
I was talking to one my homies and she was talking about how she no longer finds Dave Chappelle funny because she believes misogyny permeates through far too many of the sketches that involve women. I can’t really offer any sort of rebuttal to that because I haven’t watched the series in years and the only ones that come to mind pretty much exclude women except...
Chronic Illness is a Disability
fuckthedisabled:
Follow up to this question.
What is a chronic illness?
A chronic illness is any ongoing illness that one does not heal from in a short frame of time, if at all.
i.e.:
Broken leg? Nope.
Fibromyalgia? MS? Yes.

gaywrites:
A new LiveScience story examines the high rate of mental health problems in transgender kids and adolescents.
Based partially on a 2010 study that found 41 percent of trans* people in the U.S. have attempted suicide, the article examines how having a gender identity that doesn’t match one’s body can cause serious psychiatric complications.
Researchers attributed those rates to...

Anne Spurzem, class of 1984, majored in economics, attended the MacDuffie School for Girls. She attended Duke University after Smith, where she got her MBA in marketing, before moving to Greenwich, Connecticut, the 2006 American city with the highest median income, where I am sure there are no low-income young lesbians of color or international students requiring financial...

ladyatheist:
You talk about this kind of thing a lot on here so I figured it would be of interest. Most kids at my school talk a lot like these girls and I think it’s a really good example of the racism in highschools that stays with people when they enter the adult world.
