Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 30/08/2026I’m afraid we aren’t learning from the fake outrage over CRT: “no trans women even play for the WNBA,” is the equivalent of “we don’t teach CRT in schools”. They don’t care-stop letting them frame the discussion Instead stand firmly in your values: “We want all women to play safely in our league” 210124
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 21/08/2026Some of us have said again and again, these are the new segregationists. The eugenicists never went away, they just have a new wave of being laundered into the academy by the powerful to try to legitimize their commitment to white supremacy & hoarding of power. 1167
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 06/08/2026Here's another one from the Connie Chan chatbot that Scott Weiner's team created. Just absolute fuckery. Racist to the core. Note I did not do these searches, these are reported from SF Gate & 48 hills. 48hills.org/2026/08/wien... 233
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 06/08/2026Everyone defending Scott Weiner should be watching this racist and sexist mess of a chatbot his team created and financed by Anthropic (an Anthropic-funded PAC called Public First has committed $500,000 to his campaign) against Connie Chan. www.sfgate.com/politics/art... 154
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 25/07/2026Oh there it is! You want to make sweeping generalizations about the bigotry of Black people. And you’re using my skyline to do it. Nope. But goodness, this is what happens when folks misread identity politics and Black feminism. 041

Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 22/05/2026I agree with @bakerdphd.bsky.social -this article does an excellent job reminding us how university governance is hostile to the people that the university serves & who the university employees 1104
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 23/03/2026THAT WIG THO! It's like they wanted him to look like Zendaya circa 2016 but couldn't afford her look 1201
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 04/03/2026Not just lit reviews. I get an email like this every few weeks. They are selling hard to academics to offload the analysis to make space for other work But analysis & writing IS the work that honors the voices of intellectual ancestors, centers the participants & connects the two to to build theory 15119
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 03/03/2026THIS. I get an email like this every few weeks. They are selling hard to academic to offload the work to make space for other "more important" work. But analysis & writing IS the work that honors the voices of intellectual ancestors, centers the participants & connects the two to to build theory 0103
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 12/02/2026It's giving Theo from Die Hard.... But that's not a bad thing. 0180
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 10/02/2026San Francisco teachers are striking for their students!Students, families & communities were on the picket lines & at the rallies. We are one of the wealthiest economies in the world and yet don’t cover healthcare for teachers’ families! Police are protected from budget cuts but schools aren’t. 081
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 02/02/2026If you want to understand how we can have a measles outbreak in kid jails and what happens to kids when a communicable disease enters a youth prison facility, look to how incarcerated youth were treated during covid www.sentencingproject.org/fact-sheet/c... 1103
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 27/01/2026Going to keep saying this. It's not amnesia or any other disability-it's white ignorance. White ignorance is this country's perpetual political problem. 093
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 22/01/2026I just got a survey from FIRE-the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression-about their "ongoing research into academic freedom and free expression" Has anyone else? Given their lack of protecting of most faculty who speak about genocide in Palestine & Kirk posts, not interested #AcademicSky 072
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 21/01/2026I love this messiness. It reminds me of this which is one of my favorites when folks think I have my life together. 130
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 20/01/2026My good Sis, Sarah, makes incredible jewelry, inspired by the ancestors and politics. I get so many compliments on my earrings from her. Check out my art making friend's etsy shop: Get Your Fleek On. www.etsy.com/shop/GetYour... 142
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 14/01/2026In 2014, the New York Times said about a Black boy murdered by a cop with his hands up, "Michael Brown, 18, due to be buried on Monday, was no angel". PLEASE do not whitewash the past to emphasize how bad the present is. If we erase the past and Black lives, we have already lost. Stop it. 420277
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 14/01/2026This is a time her collar got stuck in a vent and she took off and dragged the vent with her. She’s a very good dog with a heart full of love and a brain full of space. 0405
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 09/01/2026Thanks friend. I don't read a lot of "whiteness studies" and would also love to see the social science lit on this. But I do think Charles Mills' work on white ignorance is really helpful too. 0111
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 01/01/2026From a course evaluation: question: would you like to provide any other comments about the course? Answer: Dr. A is a legend!!! And also a very relatable nerd 1190
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 18/11/2025Between this and the whole thing with the president being a throat goat and I just 0120
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 07/11/2025We wrote a paper that used double helix metaphor, "Our findings illustrate that both educator response & education policy create a double helix of oppression...that make it incredibly difficult for Black girls to be protected from racialized sexual harassment"-this was our note on Watson's citation 210635
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 07/11/2025There are a lot of hard things happening in the world. But right now I'm writing a letter of recommendation for a phenomenal student and I'm going to bask in the joy of empowering someone else. Mama Toni told us what are jobs are now... 0101
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 06/11/2025Wouldn't be a day in a Black woman's life if I wasn't fighting with my doctor about addressing fibroids! 2777
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 30/10/2025Been meaning to share the wild reactions we got to our op-ed that the Trump admin is terrorizing Children of Color. Here's the op-ed and here's the response. Folks are really fighting for the right to be segregationist without being called racist. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... 13617
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 24/10/2025Sharing this again today because what we do to our most vulnerable children defines our moral caliber. And more than ever, the violent arrests & incarceration of Black & Brown children we are allowing shows how deeply we are failing. Baldwin told us this. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... 16119
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 14/10/2025My heart is heavy for us as we remember the revolutionary healers we lost in the last 24 hours. Here's to Miss Major and D'Angelo. We were so blessed to live when they did. Thank you for all you put into the world. Rest easy, fam. 0102
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 09/10/2025I got "The Killer" and given the current context, I am fine with it.😂 110
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 02/10/2025Repeating: The psychological harm we are inflicting on these children is immense. Even witnessing a parent's arrest can harm children's mental health, but being arrested as a child/teen decreases chances of graduating high school & increases chances of anxiety, depression & unemployment as an adult. 25724
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 26/09/2025There are so many revolutionary words Assata Shakur gave us that echo through the generations. I am sitting with Assata's words on grief, of a loved one dying, losing another Black woman revolutionary & the harm coming at our communities. What are the words Assata gave to you that are echoing? 16518
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 19/09/2025Exactly. And let’s be clear that when the right came for mostly Black & Brown women & queer professors, the left & universities didn’t protect us. The right used us as targets before they went to CRT, DEI, universities generally & now broader culture. They let us be harmed & now it’s harming them 39532
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 10/09/2025Exactly. This is what R*fo is saying already, and we know he has a direct line to the white house. They will use this as pretext regardless of what we say or do in response. 110
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 09/09/2025As the attacks on mostly Black & Brown women & queer junior professors was effective, the right attacked curriculum & programs like CRT and DEI. And because the universities & admin had produced no defense of us, they followed that same pattern of silence. Now they are the ones being fired. 4/ 13311
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 09/09/2025The harassment campaign of mostly Black & Brown women & queer junior professors was effective. Some of were fired, others were silenced, all were harassed. The right learned they could attack & that universities would not fight back. It was a blueprint for attacks on higher ed more broadly 3/ 23613
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 09/09/2025One admin told me he didn't want to put out a statement in defense of me because he "didn't want to fan the flames of harassment". And I replied, the problem is "I'm already on fire and you're letting me burn on my own." The universities & admin were content to let us burn. 2/ 14010
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 09/09/2025THIS. Campus Reform, The College Fix & Turning Point's Professor Watchlist created a harassment campaign of mostly Black & Brown women & queer folks who were also junior professors. Our universities & admins opted for silence when we needed defense. Here's the story they wrote about me in 2017 1/ 510950
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 08/09/2025oh i haven't read this one yet, thanks for the suggestion. have you read "They Were Her Property" by Stephanie Jones-Rogers? Wondering how they compare. 030
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 05/09/2025Some people are so offended by their own commitment to white mediocrity being exposed that they become even more non-sensical. Exhibit 1001 031
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 02/09/2025with alt text "There are no emergencies. Only a power grab. And narcissism." @sifill.bsky.social 041
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 01/09/2025Oh amazing! I just tried for my 9 year old and it's still saying it's unavailable. Thank you for letting me know though! Hoping others with teens see this and get theirs scheduled. 120
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 28/08/2025Thank you! I keep getting this message when I try to use PDS Moover. Anyone know what to do? 110
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 28/08/2025BAY AREA UPDATE: CVS will let me schedule a visit for myself starting September 4th. But when I try to add my child, who is also high risk, this message comes up. Note: I tried different zip codes around the Bay so this isn't mine but mine gave the same info. 1132
Septima P. Snark @drsubini.blacksky.app · 08/08/2025I agree, most students are not trying to cheat. Many students don't understand the benefits or the constraints of AI. I also do not want to police them for use. So here is my syllabus policy & we discuss in the first few weeks of class. Please feel free to use, adapt & share, just cite! 88324
