Previous thread is over here.
I forgot to update this yesterday since I was at work.
As usual: no crackers allowed.
Here, you can:
vent
chat
gush
inquire
etc.
about, well, anything, ig.
Bonus discussion question:
What are your favorite books about BIPOC and EM people?
Could be about individuals, a few individuals, or a social history (or, well, everything having to do with EM_BIPOC peoples).
Mine is kind of a "basic opinion" but it's:
An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.
Read it right when it came out.
And I knew it was going to be a "classic" (or, at least, on many peoples' "to-read" lists).
Of course, I'm an obscurist, sort-of. I recommend more obscure works, but this one really stood out to me back when it first came out. I had a professor that also recommended the book and had us all read it in class. I believe they were Apache.
On the topic of "obscure" works, I would recommend Henry Winston's Strategy for a Black Agenda, which is my favorite work on such topics as Pan-Africanism and violence vs. non-violence (and whether and how to use both or when).
Anyway, take care!
Thank you, and yeah, it can be hard when the ones you need on your side... aren't.
Well, I got a good therapist now (and one who is Autistic like me) so that helps. Honestly, that definitely helped me out a bunch. I think that was half the battle, even.
