A colorful postcard that says, “Celebrating Pride!” The title and author of a book are listed along with a description: Mapping Multi-Genre Literary Frameworks for Trans* Studies: Without Permanence By Jesse Jack. “Mapping Multi-Genre Literary Frameworks for Trans* Studies: Without Permanence examines the socio-political contexts that have necessitated new, twenty-first century methods in transgender (trans*) counter-storytelling, such as: archival constraints, medical rubrics, policy decisions, and surveillance. The author’s cross-disciplinary approach to literary analysis critiques narratives of gender permanence to reveal the fungible possibilities of subjective and structural ambiguity.” The book cover is featured, a purple and blue watercolor of a naked body with long purple hair and pink flowers.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Far from Hollywood's wealth, Los Angeles fire survivors feel forgotten Residents say that insurance companies might shortchange less affluent households.

The media has focused on wealthy, White neighborhoods. But the fire in Altadena--a racially and economically diverse suburb--deserves more attention, because insurance may not cover their rebuilding costs, forcing families out and leading the neighborhood to gentrify.
