We Grow the World Together: Parenting Toward Abolition

Maya Schenwar

A vital anthology exploring the intersections between caregiving and abolitionAbolition has never been a proposal to simply tear things down. As Alexis Pauline Gumbs asks, “What if abolition is something that grows?” As we struggle to build a liberatory, caring, loving, abundant future, we have much to learn from the work of birthing, raising, caring for, and loving future generations. In We Grow the World Together, abolitionists and organizers Maya Schenwar and Kim Wilson bring together a remarkable collection of voices revealing the complex tapestry of ways people are living abolition in their daily lives through parenting and caregiving. Ranging from personal narratives to policy-focused analysis to activist chronicles, these writers highlight how abolition is essential to any kind of parenting justice.Contributors Beth RichieHarsha WaliaEJ, 6 years oldDorothy RobertsRuth Wilson GilmoreDylan RodríguezBill Ayers and Bernardine DohrnShira HassanVictoria LawMariame KabaThe PDX Childcare Collectiveadrienne maree brown and Autumn Brown

We Are Each Other's Liberation: Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities

Rachel Kuo

A groundbreaking anthology that illuminates historical and contemporary solidarity between Black and Asian feminists, helping us make sense of the world we’re in and the world we must imagine and build. For many in the US and abroad, calls to #SayHerName, the uptick in violence against Asian Americans throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings remain raw and unhealed. Create the World Black and Asian Feminist Solidarities contextualizes a cross-racial feminist politics that explicitly addresses solidarity between Black and Asian feminists. Taken together, the pieces remind us that wherever there is struggle against oppressive systems, there is great possibility for empathy, respect, and solidarity.A collaborative project between Black Women Radicals and the Asian American Feminist Collective, this unprecedented work brings together organizers, artists, journalists, poets, novelists, and more, introducing readers to new ways of understanding and reflecting on race and feminism. The anthology wrestles with contemporary feminism through a multitude of angles—from the Combahee River Collective to nail salons and massage parlors, from misogynoir to the model minority myth.This innovative anthology features poetry, critical essays, interviews, creative nonfiction, and other contributions by Barbara Smith, Tamara Nopper, Franny Choi, Sonya Renee Taylor, and other vital, radical, feminist voices.

Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity in This Crisis (And the Next)

Dean Spade

Mutual aid is the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world. Around the globe, people are faced with a spiralling succession of crises, from the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, racist policing, brutal immigration enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality. As governments fail to respond to—or actively engineer—each crisis, ordinary people are finding bold and innovative ways to share resources and support the vulnerable. Survival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid. This book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid is a crucial part of powerful movements for social justice, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, how to foster a collective decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout. Writing for those new to activism as well as those who have been in social movements for a long time, Dean Spade draws on years of organizing to offer a radical vision of community mobilization, social transformation, compassionate activism, and solidarity.

Carrots, in my experience, were purple or yellow, not cream-colored

Well.... in my experience they are orange 😅 but maybe it really does exist? I think I came across yellow ones ( but I'm not sure, I don't really like that so I don't bother buying it).

I wonder if a purple carrot would taste different?

Who's Who Wednesday (possibly part 17)

Hey y'all 👋🏻

I noticed that the Who's Who Wednesday posts have ended. I looked it up and saw that the user who started it originally deleted their account 😔😭 Jadelovesbooks

These were some of my favorite posts to read through so I'd like to bring it back if that's cool (or if these were ended on purpose, let me know and I'll remove this).

It’s time for Who’s Who Wednesday where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves and make new friends. This is possibly part 17.

If you participated in any of the times before, you don’t have to introduce yourself again but you can share some different facts about you, an opinion you have, or how your week is going.

If you’re new, introduce yourself!

I’ll go first.
