Black plastic products—such as spatulas, sushi trays, and children’s toys—are regularly made from recycled electronic waste. Many of these products contain concerning levels of flame retardants—and they are leaching into our food, @ZoeSchlanger reports: theatln.tc/ZyySjeEF

I don’t know who needs to hear this (maybe no one) but if someone, even someone close to you is robbing you of your joy it’s ok to walk away.

I'm begging reporters covering the declining birthrate to interview feminist scholars. Much of the coverage focuses on the tax policy, the election, & the rising cost of living generally. But there's very little focus on the lack of suitable partners & the threat of misogyny.

My paper on carceral seepage--my way of showing the
violence of the carceral state and how it elicits racialized emotional responses--was published yesterday.
This was not an easy paper to write and I will forever labor with that.

I have said it before and I will say it again:
We are not going to “wellness”, “good vibes” or “one on one therapy” our way of out of a mental health crisis that is a direct outcome of structural and economic violence and inequality.

“Let your children see you slow down... Read a book in a hammock, walk in the woods, sip coffee in the early hours of the morning, or write in a journal. Because when they grow up, they'll know how to slow down, too.” ~Angela Anagnost-Repke @AngelaRWrites
