It’s fun to come back to tumblr bc I don’t know anyone’s names anymore or who any of you are that I follow but you all post lots of fun things, thanks for being here
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:
Just had my nth conversation with someone about mask-wearing today - yet another well-intentioned moron who was like
‘But the virus is gone now’ (it isn’t)
‘But the mask is uncomfortable’ (ventilators are worse)
‘But you’re young, you won’t die’ (having this thing could impact my health for decades to come + it’s my responsability to protect those who’re more vulnerable than I am because that’s how society works)
‘But are you going to live in fear for the rest of your life’ (taking concrete safety measures actually helps me feel more in control and less worried)
‘But are you going to give up everything and stay inside like a rat’ (no, but I’m definitely going to decide what’s worth risking my health for, and shopping for bread rolls is not very high on my list of literally-to-die-for activities)
‘But what if they never find a vaccine’ (then we’ll get used to the situation just like we got used to a thousand other things like seat belts, bike helmets, and increasingly weird true crime podcasts).
I know it’s tiring to have people call you paranoid all the time - but you’re right and they’re wrong. Check the news, keep a safe distance from others whenever possible and keep wearing your mask!
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!!
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 ✌🏽
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.
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.

Hey @afronerdism is holding a relief fund for Black folx only, where you can apply for monetary help, as many times as you need. A few people will be chosen *every week*. She’s not getting a lot of applicants actually! She has several posts on her blog on how to apply. I wish everyone’s best of luck ❤

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❤
