Theoretical physicist who also does research in humanities using critical theories. It’s interesting how when it comes down to it, no one is mad at quantum field theory being confusing — for physicists too — but they’re mad at humanists for also having analytic frameworks that take time to learn.

I felt better so I tried going for a nature walk today. I was rewarded by seeing this bird for the 1st time. Apparently, it's likely an anhinga. #birdsky #birding #blackbirders

Back to reading Black Reconstruction. But two things: 1.) Today is W.E.B. Du Bois's birthday! and 2.) Everyone should check out Zinn Education Project's valuable report about how the state fails to teach complex histories of Reconstruction: www.teachreconstructionreport.org

UPDATE: My Black SFFH/Student Midwife (Class of 2025) life is evolving! $5923 is the last of a 2.5 yr campaign to get me through school and stock my midwifery bags. I turned my life flip upside down because safe inclusive care is always scarce for Black people but Dobbs+The Moment will kill more.

Happy Birthday to WEB Du Bois, who wrote about the wildly important concept of psychological wages of whiteness in the first history of Reconstruction, Black Reconstruction in America, which he messily dedicated to his mistress, Dr. Virginia Alexander, and not his wife, Nina Gomer #BookSky

out of many many reasons why we're here, one is how the stock market sustains the illusion that money is made from nothing (often through scams and pyramid schemes), and now its true believers feel entitled to kill off any more legitimate, but less impressive (bc less fake) development generators

Dr. King clocked that shit years ago. In the letter he wrote from a Birmingham jail, he said that the biggest stumbling block to freedom was the were moderate more devoted to order than actual justice. White people? It’s been your time to keep your end of the bargain.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

A time was had yesterday! We gave out over 500 kits to students until we ran out. The food from 1918 was a hit, the vibes were there, and the people were amazing. Yesterday was a great way to kick off the #FYP Bus Tour week 5!

Even the standard, formerly "legal" forms of resistance on the liberal left will now have their institutional legitimacy stripped from them. There is no benefit to playing by the rules of politics because they have stripped all accountability. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

I struggle to understand the people who refuse to acknowledge that even if you’ve been oppressed the whole time, it is possible for the oppression to get worse and it’s reasonable for people to be concerned about that

If you don't know who McCune Smith is, you should. He was one of the most significant abolitionists in US history. As well known as Frederick Douglass when he died. The first Black American to receive a medical degree. He had to go to Scotland for that cuz Columbia [Kings College] refused admittance

This is a sadly legit belief of mine, about what some white resisters are waiting on before they really take action. I'd love to be proven wrong.
