#antiblackness — Public Fediverse posts

Somehow I missed this when the story broke a few weeks ago: Atomwaffen Division co-founder Brandon Russell has been given a 20-year prison sentence for plotting to attack the Baltimore power grid with his girlfriend (h/t @MusiqueNow). He had been found guilty back in February, but sentencing was only earlier this month.

They picked Baltimore in part because the girlfriend, Sarah Beth Clendaniel, also a neo-nazi, was from the area, but mostly because it's a city with a large Black population. Clendaniel recently got an 18-year sentence for her part in the plot.

Reclaiming Afrikan: queer perspectives on sexual and gender identities is a collaboration and collection of art, photography and critical essays interrogating the meanings and everyday practices of queer life in Africa today. In Reclaiming Afrikan authors, activists and artists from Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia, Kenya and South Africa offer fresh perspectives on queer life; how gender and sexuality can be understood in Africa as ways of reclaiming identities in the continent.

Grumpickle 🧵 pt 2

The link, pasted again, is the first tweet that has both of our accounts listed in it. If you scroll up you can see the Dee Snider comment and the missing tweet where Grumpickle tried to show his devotion to Mango.

It might get a little bit confusing because there are two assholes in the thread who've managed to get themselves suspended from Twitter, and amazingly, I'M NOT ONE OF THEM! (pic 1.)

(I have been trying.)

Twitter being what it is, you can still tell who I was replying to, and IN NOT A SINGLE ONE of the 10 tweets that contain both of our usernames, was that person: Grumpickle. (pics 2&3.)

Anyhoo, Grumpickle developed a grudge and nursed it carefully until he was put together with Staph (pic 4.), an EXTRAORDINARILY not-racist person utterly incapable of distinguishing between Black women, who I actually HAD engaged with -- when she decided she needed to explain some things to the terrible pickaninnies criticizing her She-ro.

[NOTE TO MODERATOR: I am one of said pickaninnies.]

Then, in the magical way dust bunnies collect, they were matched with another monomaniacal personality, TheFluFighters, and this formed the basis of Caryma's ideal team of flying monkeys, or as they were known in this iteration: Flu's Clues.

But this thread is about Grumpickle in particular, and it will continue as I have time.

This is Grumpickle (pic. 1).
He hates me, which is weird because we've never actually spoken to each other.

I say "Grumpickle" because he's on his third Twitter account. (He keeps getting them suspended for bad behaviour, but that doesn't stop him.)

When this saga started, his account name was OldManGrumpee, and now it's ThePickledPleb. Grump...ickle.

Anyway, once upon a time Grumpickle had this idea that there could be an awesome collaboration between Cary Mango and Dee Snider. It was unlikely, but it was a dream. (pic 2.)

A dream that got dashed by dastardly darkies. (pic 3.)

You can find the remnants of the original thread here:

[Wow. I just went to get a screenshot from where he explains what the missing tweets were about, and I discovered that he still had this weird fantasy as late as November. (pic 4.)]

Escravos, roceiros e rebeldes by Stuart B. Schwartz; Jussara Simões

Estudo de um dos temas mais cruciais da historia do país, este livro aborda, de maneira original, como os escravos estruturavam sua própria vida e o papel decisivo que tiveram na construção e funcionamento do sistema escravocrata.

O author mapeia especialmente as limitações e oportunidades de uma população incapaz ce construir seu próprio destino, e que consegue apenas (e esporadicamente) limitar a ação de seus senhores, vivendo numa equação desequilibrada que a prejudicia enormemente. E esse mapeamento é perpassado pelas relações nada simples que havia entre escravos, senhores e outras camadas sociais na sociedade escraocrata brasileira.

Ao mesmo tempo, escudado no pressuposto ético de que a História deve servir para se entender e explicar o presente, o autor situa na atualidade o singular fenômeno estudado, em que a função da cidadania vem sendo cada vez mais debatida e justificada.
