When white men reflect on the world, it’s called philosophy.
When women reflect on the world, it’s called women and gender studies.
When Black people reflect on the world, it’s called African American studies.

The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity - Sarah Schulman YouTube video by Left Bank Books

I’m genuinely grateful and honored that I had the chance to join Left Bank Books in conversation with her. It was a reminder of how vital Queer thinkers are to our collective liberation.

If you’d like to watch the interview, you can find it here:

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks reading the work of Sarah Schulman. As a Queer historian, author, educator, playwright, filmmaker, and longtime community advisor to Jewish Voice for Peace, she carries an extraordinary depth of knowledge.

In this context pussy is not restricted to any specific genitalia but refers to a generalized sexual organ, mouth, hand or any other device that gives sexual pleasure.

The point is no pleasure for ICE!

We need to have a serious conversation about mental health. We need to learn the tools to help ourselves heal and recognize when others are in need of healing. Join us this month for the 3rd Ward Monthly Progressive forum, this month we’re talking about mental health!

We often forget how patriarchy harms our men! How the demand to be stoic disconnects our men with the ability to heal, to feel, or to be real! My feminism is not one that promotes the disdain of men or of masculinity, but one that aims to liberate all people from the perils of patriarchy.

Come down to Ujima!!

This Sunday at Left Bank Books, I’ll be talking about Rachel Brown’s Unsettled Labors: Migrant Care Work in Palestine/Israel. I’m honored to be joined by Jong Bum Kwon, who will share insights from his work on globalized labor in Korea and beyond.

Saturday!!

What about the people in Gaza who’s genocide you were elected to protect?

I was invited to speak at Mastercard‘s corporate office for Pride. It was a really magical moment having conversations about redistributive justice and decolonizing Queer advocacy with people in the financial sector.

Good morning, isn’t it a beautiful day to oppose war?

I want more Black Atheists spaces!

We’re diving into Orientalism by Edward Said with the Decolonial Dialogues bookclub at @readabookstl!

We’ll cover the first 100 pages on June 4th: reading is encouraged but not required. Come curious, leave empowered, and lets decolonize together!!

It’s been a long week and I’m learning new skills and getting new insights by doing some adhoc roof work. St. Louis, I love you and we’ll get through this together!
