everything here is in pdf format so you should be able to download and read it on any device. it’s slow going because i have a lot of epubs that i have to convert before uploading and the folders i’ve listed here are neither complete nor comprehensive, but it’s a start! 

the library link with all folders is now in my description. further updates: 

• angela davis
• angela carter
• florence welch
• louise glück (some of these are epubs atm, but for some reason they won’t convert.)

i also:

ICE has been ordered to release children but they’re the ones who get to decide if they release their parents as well or if they’re just throwing these kids out, so please at the very least sign this petition

Thank you, this is another excellent piece!

for those of u looking to read more criticism, though, this new yorker review of Ishmael Reed’s play “The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda” offers a nice perspective & really looks at what Reed is saying!!

In “The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Ishmael Reed Revives an Old Debate

The play’s brusque, polemical energy feels like a throwback to a different time—perhaps to an earlier version of multiculturalism, one that

You know damn well these lil overgrown theater kids ain’t gonna read this bc they don’t give a single solitary fuck abt Puerto Ricans or Puerto Rico (esp Black Puerto Ricans lbr) except to try & silence anyone they disagree with lmaoooo, but for anybody out here with some integrity, go ahead & read this is you haven’t already ✌🏽

A Breakdown of the Controversy Surrounding Lin Manuel-Miranda & 'Hamilton' in Puerto Rico

This weekend, Hamilton will make its Puerto Rico debut. Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda will reprise the Broadway show’s namesake role during a n

Being written by a person of color and starring people of color doesn’t absolve the show of pushing harmful narratives. The ~imagery~ of having the British people be white and the Americans be POC doesn’t remove the fact that the “heroes” those POC are playing are racist white men who brutalized people of color (SPECIFICALLY black people). And doing things like this is actually EXACTLY how we’re gonna punish George Washington for being racist: not supporting narratives that gloss over and don’t acknowledge his owning and treatment of enslaved people.

featherywingss:

yeah sure cancel a play written by a person of color with an entire cast of color except for the british bad guys (it’s not subtle imagery). That’s how we’re gonna punish George Washington for being racist!

Btw its not next year. Stream Hamilton with the original Broadway cast on Disney+ July 3rd!!! <3

jsyk I am loving this vibrational moment in worldwide culture with tearing down statues of confederates, genocidal conquerors/explorers, slavers, and racist founding fathers, but y'all, I’m really gonna need E.VER.Y.BO.DY to keep aaaaall of that energy when lin manuel miranda tries to re-release hamilton for real life money next year

Covid is not over and black lives still matter. Stop trying to “go back to normal” when shit is still happening.

Stop going on trips and going to restaurants without masks.

Keep educating yourself and protesting and calling and donating and signing petitions.

Wear a mask. End white supremacy. Defund police.

I know it’s tiring but it’s not over for either thing even though people are pretending it is. I know the overlap is exhausting. But be safe, social distance, and keep fighting the good fight.

So the family I babysit for are really showing their true colors now. You have a black woman watching your 4 y/o white kid but they have no respect for black lives. My life.

So I’m out of a job. They were working from home bc of the virus and they could tell they’ve offended me and basically said I don’t have to come back.

My cashapp is $amanizaire and my PayPal is Paypal.me/amanizaire if anyone can help while I look for work❤
