Get Them While They’re Young: An Idea Toward Creating An Anti-Prejudice Future
The recent incident with the Arizona elementary school mural and the city councilman who hated it with his racist, racist ways got me to thinking about how it always feels to me that no matter how many minds I change via this blog or through personal interactions, it still may not be enough. There are […]

Get Them While They’re Young: An Idea Toward Creating An Anti-Prejudice Future
Put Some Nonfiction In That Fiction ASAP!
Nnedi Okorafor has a new book out — Who Fears Death — which Karnithia will tell you is amazing. I may force her to post more about it later. But first I wanted to point to the most recent entry on Nnedi’s blog where she talks about her first book signing and the reactions she […]

Writing The Other Shouts-Outs – June 2010
At WisCon this year I participated in a panel called Writing the Other: Shout-Outs wherein the panelists named fictional properties they liked where the writers(s) wrote characters that were “other” to them. Not just white people writing POC, but also able-bodied people writing disabled characters, men writing women, etc. We had a great time on […]

What Blogs Should I Read?
Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been around much, lately. Life stuff, work stuff, you know the drill. But this weekend at the WisCon feminist SF convention I and the other Angry Black Women promised unusualmusic that we would return from our life implosion-based quietness and begin contributing again. Not that she […]

On HP’s Racist Webcams (Or Lack Thereof)
To start, I’m sure many of you have seen or heard about the YouTube video of the black dude who shows that the webcam on the HP MediaCenter does not track his face but does track the face of his white co-worker. The vid is here, in case you haven’t seen. It’s pretty funny, too, […]

Picture Yourself
Those of you who know me personally know that in another aspect of my life I write about technology. I get to play around with a fair number of gadgets in order to review them and it’s a very cool job, generally. There are very few times when the ABW in me is activated by […]

Short Fiction by Writers of Color (September)
It’s the end of September, so it’s time for more short fiction by POC! Still a short list this month, sad! But I know that the word is out, so now it’s just a matter of getting more fiction published by us. I hear there’s a new market on the horizon helmed by an editor […]

The BINGO Project
I’ve had a little project in mind for a few weeks but I’ll need some help bringing it to fruition. As many of you know, when engaging in discussions about contentious topics such as race, gender, politics, oppression, etc., there are always clueless and/or privileged people who whip out arguments so often used and so […]

What Do You Do When You Experience or Witness Street Harassment?
Was thinking about a few things in regards to my post yesterday and reading your stories of unwanted attention and harassment. I find myself depressingly unsurprised at the accounts. This crap is all too common.
A few years ago I made a decision to try and talk/fight back against harassment I experienced or witnessed. I live […]

Does Street Harassment Ever Lead To True Love? (My Guess: No)
I’m taking an informal survey. This is mostly for the women out there, but people of any sex or gender are welcome to join in the conversation. This particular issue happens to women more often, but is not exclusive to us.
Most women have had the experience of being approached or spoken to by men who […]
