Racism: Why Being Color Blind Isn’t The Answer | Chris Davis

http://chrisdavis.cc/racism-why-being-color-blind-isnt-the-answer

Welcome to my spot on the interwebs. Racism: Why Being Color Blind Isn’t The Answer. April 14, 2015. Racism doesn’t seem to be going away as quickly as had been hoped for. And in fact, some feel that it has gotten worse. While there may not be lynchings every few days* *, there are stories after stories of other types of torment that our fellow Black human beings continue to experience here in America. I say all that to say this: One of the responses that often crops up when racism is presented as a prob...

Reading Our Stories: November 2010

http://readingourstories.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Expanding Our Minds One Page At A Time. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Okay y'all I must be stir crazy to be doing this. Yesterday I received a list of 100 books from a friend. My instructions were to highlight the ones I've read then pass it on. As I read I couldn't help but notice that although the books listed are wonderful reads and ones I've enjoyed over the years, few titles presented spoke to my life experiences. Raisin in the Sun - Lorraine Hansberry. Jubilee – Margaret Walker. Roots - Alex Haley.

Ypsilanti Dilettante: Cone Nebula Quilt, Snow, and Dyeing

http://ypsilantidilettante.blogspot.com/2011/02/cone-nebula-quilt-snow-and-dyeing.html

I live in Ypsilanti, Michigan, a pretty little city on the banks of the Huron River in southeastern Michigan. I quilt, knit, dye, read, spin, and garden. Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Saturday, February 5, 2011. Cone Nebula Quilt, Snow, and Dyeing. Next, I did finish reading The Warmth of Other Suns. Now, some art! Last Saturday a friend of mine and I joined another woman in the basement of the home of Happy Fuzzy Yarn. It was utterly fascinating for my friend and me to see the differences in th...

Stable Integration: how our assumptions shape reality | Echolocation

https://byecholocation.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/stable-integration-how-our-assumptions-shape-reality

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Laquo; Also from Crossen. Stable Integration: how our assumptions shape reality. May 26, 2011. I just finished reading The Warmth of Other Suns. Isabel Wilkerson’s incredible book about the Great Migration. It deserves its own post (or three), but I’ll highlight one overlap here. (Also, please don’t go back through the archives to see how long it has taken me to finish it. And if you do, you should blame my semester and not the book). 8230;the persistent…misconcep...

say what?: May 2012

http://cravenvravings.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Fairly well-thought out ravings on anything I deem interesting. Saturday, May 26, 2012. Breathe In Breathe Out. I've been breathing in more than breathing out lately. The writing part of my brain seems to have decided to curl up in a corner and take a long nap. But I have just finished a semester of tutoring middle school children in reading as a volunteer with the amazing Reading Partners. 62% of our students are reading below grade level. I don't remember learning how to read. It was a world that I...

Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Last week was Thanksgiving. Duh. And I LOOOOOVE this time of year. Love it. Halloween always puts me off a little because it can be so nasty and expensive and greedy (candy! And that's just coming from the mom and dad around here! Which only makes sense, really, since what I'm really searching for is my true Home. Everything else here is just a substitute. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Yelling At My Bookshelf: August 2014

http://yellingatmybookshelf.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Yelling At My Bookshelf. Friday, August 29, 2014. I sing my daughter a handful of bedtime songs some nights (when she doesn't just kick me out). I also read nonfiction self-help books from time to time. Consider this my review of the ones that have seemed useful. Mediated through bedtime songs. This is a habit. It's part of the cue/routine/reward habit cycle that Charles Duhigg outlines in the The Power of Habit. Or I could just sing to my daughter, little idiosyncrasies intact. Thursday, August 28, 2014.
