This is why we can’t just roll over and let PBS die. This is the most thorough piece I’ve seen about the manosphere and its effect on our lives I’ve seen done by a news entity. Don’t throw in the towel, we can’t afford to.

When I write, I organize related texts together. Do y’all do that too? For example, I’m working on a piece right now, and my texts are organized like this. I feel like it helps me focus or some.

Sylvia Wynter contends that Black men and women are positioned as the damned—les damnés (Fanon)—across geographies. No matter the context, we are consigned to the bottom, excluded from the category of the human as it has been defined and overrepresented by Western Man.
