Agender Pride Flag

“If you assign pink to girls and blue to boys, that doesn’t make every other color a shade of purple.”

I cannot for the life of me remember where that quote came from, but I know it was used to explain to me what agender first meant, and it helped me to come to terms with my own identity. For some context, this is what the “official” agender flag looks like:

25 Black-owned bookstores you can support right now

while i don’t claim to be a “book blogger” by any account (more of a cranky publishing-person blogger most days), i know a lot of people have followed me through my book posts, so i’m taking advantage of that captive audience to boost these bookstores. shop them through their own websites and if you’re local, look into curbside pickup to minimize shipping costs and overhead. okay that’s all thanks bye stay safe.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for your blog. I’ve been trying to find information on Roma culture/clothing/traditions/etc because I have an idea for a story that involves a Roma character, but I wasn’t sure about where to start, and I also don’t want the character to be one dimensional/offensive and this blog seems like a good place to start, for the stuff you talk about and information you link to, to have a better understanding when I write the character. If that makes any sense.

I am so glad you are finding help here. It is wonderful to hear that I am helping you. I have some more specific resources for you.Here is one about writing minorities of many kinds. It even has caught me on a few things.Useful notes on our PeopleSome linguistics. Note: languages shift from family to family, culture to culture. Some mix, others maintain. So some of these, such as our word for the Holocaust, are different throughout the world.I am so so glad you are finding help here!

Is Prison Necessary? Ruth Wilson Gilmore Might Change Your Mind

In three decades of advocating for prison abolition, the activist and scholar has helped transform how people think about criminal justice.

‘But why, they asked. And before she could answer, one said, “But what about the people who do something seriously wrong?” Others chimed in. “What about people who hurt other people?” “What about if someone kills someone?”

…

“I get where you’re coming from,” she said. “But how about this: Instead of asking whether anyone should be locked up or go free, why don’t we think about why we solve problems by repeating the kind of behavior that brought us the problem in the first place?” She was asking them to consider why, as a society, we would choose to model cruelty and vengeance.’
