expecting marginalized people to stop discussing or calling out their oppressors to say “except for you” just so you can feel reassured that you’re a Good Person™ means you are a shitty ally, and until you realize that your feelings are not and will never be a priority in these discussions, you will remain part of the problem.
What’s interesting about the reaction to Davuluri’s crowning isn’t that teenagers say stupid things, but that people are uncomfortable with a woman of color being held up as an ideal of All-American beauty and femininity.
If you read any of the articles about racist Miss America tweets, you need to read this too. (via think-progress)

Fanfic authors: READ THE WHOLE FUCKING PAGE
Good advice, methinks. I’m adding this to the list of things to say to authors I mentor.
Because my mother told me that all I needed to do was get drunk and lie back and let me husband have his fun. Because if I was drunk, I’d be more relaxed and it’d be over sooner
Because my sister told me that I was trapping my husband in an abusive marriage, and...
Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity.

TO EVERYONE WHO THINKS WE ARE LIVING IN A POSTRACIAL WORLD. FUCKING READ THIS. CITED FROM REAL PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH.
To everyone who says they “don’t see color.” Open your fucking eyes and READ.
"the effect is to negate their experiences as racial/cultural human beings"
Language is never neutral.
When you say “I don’t see color” what you’re saying is “I don’t see you I see my own illusion of you.”

How “giftedness” plays out in the classroom for the roughly 3 million students who qualify can be hard to characterize. Some gifted and talented programs emphasize critical thinking and problem solving, others focus on creativity, and still others take what’s going on in standard classrooms and go into greater depth and complexity.

MCC Presents:**Creation Stories**
Call Out for Video Project Participants
& Artwork for Exhibition
The Creation Stories Project will consist of an art exhibition (Fall 2013) as well as a video training program in the fall (Fall 2013-Spring 2014) which includes a screening in the spring.
Theme Description: MCC’s Video Project & Art Exhibit around “Creation Stories” gives those participating a chance to explore and remember the possibilities of future worlds, work with ancestral and familial traditions, and honor stories that have traveled across generations as well as those that have yet to take form. We encourage participants to connect deeply to stories and traditions that have been inherited, those that have been lost, or those that exist somewhere in between.
Folks have an opportunity to work with this theme by submitting artwork for the Creation Stories art exhibit occurring in October 2013 and/or by participating in the video project.

Hanging out at the School was like being in a farmhouse that had been overrun by a bunch of music-addicted hippies and then picked up by a cyclone and dropped into the middle of an enlightened urban area.

In the very act of writing I felt pleased with what I did. There was the pleasure of having words come to me, and the pleasure of ordering them, re-ordering them, weighing one against another. Pleasure also in the imagination of the story, the feeling that it could mean something. Mostly I was glad to find out that I could write at all. In writing you work toward a result you won’t see for years, and can’t be sure you’ll ever see. It takes stamina and self-mastery and faith. It demands those things of you, then gives them back with a little extra, a surprise to keep you coming. It toughens you and clears your head. I could feel it happening. I was saving my life with every word I wrote, and I knew it.

A man who went car shopping in Gwinnett County ended up in jail during a test drive. Jon-Christopher Sowells had just driven a BMW out of Philips Motors on Highway 78 in Snellville when an officer stopped him.
"He said you don’t have any tags on the car. I said, ‘No problem, I don’t have any tags on this car because it’s not my car. The dealer is right there we can get it all clarified,’” Sowells said.
Sowells said he asked the officers to call the dealer three or four times, then the officer asked to see some paperwork on the back seat. Not knowing what the papers were, Sowells refused.
“They asked me to get out of the car. I said ‘I don’t feel comfortable.’ They commenced to open up the car door and they tried to drag me out of the door by my left arm,” he said.
At that point, Sowells says, the officer had called for backup.
According to the police report, Sowells pulled away from the officers. Two officers grabbed their Tasers and Sowells got out of the car. He was arrested for obstruction.
But suddenly you’re ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you’re alive and its spectacular.

I’ve previously written about the cognitive bias problem in state crime labs. This is the bias that can creep into the work of crime lab analysts when they report to, say, a state police agency, or the state attorney general.
