2020s history unit reading questions:

what is the word for the type of iconography the candle is?

What character set do the candle iconographies originate from?

which housing market collapse is this post referring to based on technological context clues?

describe in your own words what a prayer circle would look like at this time, and for extra points, a preceding time period

extra credit: explain why there are periods after some of the candles? why those specific ones? what feature might this imply about the communication method?

Video transcript:

This is page 45 in the book "Females" by Andrea Long Chu.

In the United States the man known as the father of gynecology, J. Marion Sims, built the field in the antebellum South, operating on enslaved women in his backyard, often without anesthesia — or, of course, consent. As C. Riley Snorton has recently documented, the distinction between biological females and women as a social category, far from a neutral scientific observation, developed precisely in order for the captive black woman to be recognized as female — making Sims's research applicable to his women patients in polite white society — without being granted the status of social and legal personhood. Sex was produced, in other words, precisely at the juncture where gender was denied. In this sense, a female has always been less than a person.

[random-acts-of-education]

Acknowledgement of this, however, would require terfs to give a fuck about black women. Which they never do.

[cryptotheism]

There is a voice in your head that wants you to prove how you're actually the smartest person in the room. That voice is the devil, and it will make you chronically unfuckable.
