A better world is possible. All the barriers could be overcome. They will lie, cheat, steal, and do violence to protect their system, but with enough of us, we can overcome it.

We should ask why it’s so easy for terms and concepts like “Heritage American” and “Western Chauvinism” are met with earnest analysis and exploration while academic theory produced by Black scholars are summarily dismissed by people reading introductory texts if that.

GIS mapping & analysis are super. They have helped advance knowledge & methods in urban studies (& other fields) in many ways over the last 40+ years or so. But I am afraid there are way too many folks who use these tools poorly or uncritically. I see many bad, misleading maps on a weekly basis. 1/2

I know I know it's a well worn point but still. Plenty of people who would self-describe as Christians, for whom that is a very important identity, watch Fox News. I genuinely can think of very few messages as laser-targeted to be anti-Christian as "kill the homeless". Designed in a lab by Satan.

Many scholars often invoke the concept of a “slow death” to denote the many ways of everyday death dealing throws our way. But what would a “virtuous death” be? What would it mean to die admirably? I ask these questions not as a form of self harm but as an action of collective care…

Kleinhaus added: “There’s no kitchen lady you call to sweep the house, or clean the house, or stuff like that. You do the work yourself.” He said the upside of this was that the maid could not steal from you. “Things at your house don’t disappear. Your sugar doesn’t go away, your coffee doesn’t go away.”
