Schneider and Wildman's Women and the Law Stories (Stories Series) Available Options:

A co-author I worked with told me the article I wrote based on Racialized Gender was the first to use that term. I don’t beleive it.
How would I even find that out? And I am assuming she meant critical race feminism because that was what we were writing

I don’t know much about this lecturer but I like the way his brain works. I’m going to drink some ginger tea and have him hold my hand for this:

While The World Burns I will keep churning out book proposals. Wake Productions accepts funding.

I want to put this book in conversation with Dorothy Robert’s Killing The Black Body. In the interview I watched, she clearly did as well. She had so much to say about racialized gender.

You can’t just say that and dip!
Not in my social studies class. Can you say more?

β€œIs that what you think? Then good morning because you must have been asleep the past decade.”
Rachel! Girl!
Who are you to talk? You were asleep the whole time neoliberalism was eating you and your friends.
Good morning yourself!

The ghost is herself haunted.
Who else has had this experience in the archives?
The trail goes permanently cold while you are surrounded by the only other people in the archives, finding their whole family lineages, with what my collaborator/illustrator Hugo calls β€œUnbridled white glee.”

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine.

The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from the goose. The law demands that we atone When we take things we do not own But leaves the lords and ladies fine Who take things that are yours and mine.

If you want to teach enclosure I find this folk poem very helpful. It is called The Goose and The Common

Wouldn’t it!?! You want to publish it?
The choke point for my work is art. I won’t use β€œa.i.” poor Hugo is drawing his fingers to the bone. It took him a year just to ink 212 pages of my last book.
Comics are expensive if you want to create art by people.

And joined the Philippine people in Their fight against U.S. empire.
And I can’t skip Hawaii.

It keeps growing. Maybe by the time I am done with Free The Land, we will have Freed The Land.

Found out I’m entitled to a β€œmicro-intern” for free as a Swarthmore alum.
So 17 year old adorable Chinese American freshman did amazing research on the Cargo Revolts by people who were actually β€œShanghai-d,” and the story of Fagen, the ex Buffalo Soldier who switched sides

Book Cover Conquest: Sexual Violence and American Indian Genocide

Another amazing book on the subject which is much more accessible is Andrea Smith’s Conquest. She was in my cohort. But it turned out she was a pretendΓ­an? Why be that? Is that true?
But the analysis is sound so I am perplexed:

She is an Eco-feminist, and shows how all those serfs in the Middle Ages were in fact the ex-chattel slaves and we’re in a constant state of revolt. The primitive accumulation required for capitalism requires control of the land and of women’s bodies. She ties enclosure to witch burning.

I am gathering resources as we speak to make a comic.
I’m on a tear right now because people keep asking me about the role of anti-racist education.
My response so far is β€œI don’t do that! I don’t care what they pay. Talk to Kendi and that fragile woman who can’t stop talking about her fragility

So clearly I had to sit with that.
I have always thought anti-racism education was bullshit. Whiteness is a 2 dimensional political construct that works alongside gender in very material ways to keep the elite, elite.

I just got served with divorce papers after 36 years so I am I am in full grief. I will light a candle for Nadia as well.
For those who don’t know, Nadia was my Karate Teacher when I was a teen, saved my entire sanity in the face of non-stop sexual violence we teens were experiencing

Exactly! That is what we are saying!
I learned the term β€œcarpet bomb” as a small child since we were doing it in Cambodia.
Feminist theorists call this concept β€œThe Lay of the Land.”
Sexual violence is intrinsic to conquest in all its forms.

I have an email out to this author, because I want to work with her to turn this into a comic. Wake Productions has been working on a comic series called Free The Land. It started with a comic on Black and Indigenous solidarity and it keeps growing. Somehow I β€˜m in Western Europe now.

Right? People are like β€œI can’t stand social media!!!” And I’m like β€œwelcome to my Social Studies classroom!”
I love this part of being an author because I am a teacher and I learn so much teaching.
