I had to explain segregated water fountains to my 7 year old. It was as unfathomable to her as the thought of it returning is to me.

Duking it out with racist moderators on Reddit.
A great article by Maxim Kelly at the Galway Advertiser on this weekend's racist & fascist march through town and our corresponding anti-racist & anti-fascist counter-protest from the people of Galway.

I am the recommender (editor) recruiter @pcirr and I have been implementing #antiracist, #antisexist recruitment policies, and targeting researchers in the #GlobalSouth as I seek out and invite researchers to become recommenders
Ledgerwood et al.'s (2024) "Disrupting racism and global exclusion in academia" has wonderful advice on how #EditorialBoards should incorporate action into their infrastructure https://doi.org/10.1525/collabra.121394
I’m taking this as a chance to reflect on each of their 9 recommendations (in table 3) to see what we are getting right and what we can do better at PCI RR
I tackle one recommendation at a time in this thread (in a slow drip because I’m doing this when I’m able to carve out time, so stay tuned)…

A lot of people are asking about #nextsteps and honestly I think a lot of white people like me need to talk to their #boomer #parents and tell them you expect them to be affirmatively #antiracist and #antifascist. That if their friends say some stupid shit that they should simply say, "Well, I don't believe that..." rather than just letting it pass or changing the subject uncomfortably. Too many are doing that and I am having a hell of a time getting my own parents to do the right thing.
The buzzword, “woke racism” is an affront to those who have lost their lives as a result of racial injustice or sacrificed their lives in the pursuit of racial justice.

I have posted "Long Violent History" by Tyler Childers before, but apparently he's never played it live. Until 2 nights ago at the Hollywood Bowl in #LosAngeles
It hit me hard before, but pulverized me today.
I've posted it to my #PeerTube page for easier sharing and posterity, but it should also be viewable in the post.

"Those who describe themselves as 'anti-woke' tend to couch their distaste for 'wokeness' in terms of a general dislike of left-wing causes; but make no mistake, the anti-woke brigade’s primary obsession is an aversion to racial justice."

Last month, members of the Aryan Freedom Network (AFN)--a militant neo-Nazi organization--held a small "hiking & campout" event at Stone Mountain. An image posted to Telegram shows just three Nazis posing with an AFN flag. (A fourth presumably took the picture.)
As we have stressed before: the State of Georgia purchased Stone Mountain Park and completed the Confederate carvings on its mountain face as a show of opposition to Civil Rights. The site has an earlier history as the birthplace of the modern Ku Klux Klan.
As long as the racist carvings remain, the Park will continue to attract organized white supremacists. This obviously creates danger for the surrounding community, especially residents who simply enjoy the Park as a pleasant hike or place to exercise.
An interesting article on the history of Stone Mountain and its carvings is here:

Selling #SocialJustice: Why the #Rich Love #Antiracism investigates the rise and spread of contemporary #antiracist ideology and shows how #therich came to embrace this particular form of #justice.
In this provocative and thoroughly researched account, Jennifer C. Pan explores why, in a twenty-first-century #economy of increasing scarcity, antiracism is the wrong frame for understanding and fighting #inequality.
No, far right billionaires are having a "take over the world party", and using the same racist and hate attacks is what their propagandists advise.
You will be pleased to find out that in Canada and Australia, these far right attacks blew up in their faces.
Labour, (red) below was supposed to lose this election as LNP (blue) went Trumpist.
Labour won in Australia, largest tidal wave election victory ever.
"The right is reeling"
Same happened in Canada.
Look, you are either #antiracism or you're #antiracist - the difference being: are you a Daryl Davis or not?
Some seem to think that #hate will win against hate, that the only solution is to fight fire with fire. But as my mother always said, fighting fire with fire burns the whole forest down.
Know that what Mr Davis did was point out the obvious: #racists are just confused and scared human beings. You can win them over, they can be helped.
But it's all about #psychology.
With which skin colour is #Jesus represented in RE teaching resources? In this Norwegian research article, colourblindness in the sense used in #CriticalRaceTheory is used as a framework to study such representations. Discussions on representation in teaching resources can be a way to promote #antiracist #ReligiousEducation, the authors write.
