One time I had an argument with a classmate about the singular form of parentheses (I said parenthesis, and he said parenthese). We asked a professor who was nearby to weigh in on the matter, and the professor said, "It's a single parenth."

It's Sunday morning for some of you.

Today’s mood: hoping to power through the sad.

Hot take what if people are essentially good, especially when they're not forced into violent systems of exploitation from birth.

Why are Africa's coronavirus successes being overlooked? –Afua Hirsch

"Senegal is in a good position b/c its Covid-19 response planning began in earnest in January [...] The government closed the borders, initiated a comprehensive plan of contact tracing &, because it is a nation of multiple-occupation households, offered a bed for every single coronavirus patient [...] As a result, this nation of 16 million people has had only 30 deaths."

Of course, we all know why.

we need to ground this in white womanhood.

One of the central critiques Black feminism poses for white feminism is that, because whiteness presumes itself as 'default,' white women's perspective on the gender antagonism between "men and women broadly" is conspicuously silent on the racial solidarity *white* men and women exhibit, and what influence the interests of whiteness have on white men and women's gender antagonism.

Black people, meanwhile, cannot be ignorant of Blackness, and racial solidarity against anti-Blackness is comparatively salient in Black women's discussions of gender dynamics between Black people.

white women commonly report being afraid of speaking up, of taking up too much space, of taking for ourselves what is rightfully others... and, tacitly, ceding much to white men, who aggressively take ground. classrooms and boardrooms are prototypical cases, where one person speaks at a time and where women fight their own instincts to speak up, only to be spoken over.

as white people working towards race treason and against whiteness, it's helpful to have specific things that make us stop mid-train of thought and ask, "wait a minute, am I being racist about this?"

For instance, if we find ourselves getting angry at a Black person for their "ego, arrogance, bragging" or "presumptiveness," we are almost certainly being racist about it. whiteness and white people have a problem with Black self-worth, self-knowledge, and self-assertion. this is well-established.

we need to check the voices in our heads that get indignant when Black people claim things for themselves, claim their own work, accomplishments, and strengths, and do so in the way that they choose and without apology. those voices are anti-Black conditioning, plain and simple.

And when we check that voice, and it argues with us, providing reasons for our knee-jerk rejection of Black selfhood: Good. That's useful. We can learn by interrogating those rationalizations and those assumptions.
