#hood feminism: notes from the women the movement forgot

[dramaticsigh]

Feminism that comes from a place of fear, that prioritizes not being afraid or not being uncomfortable over being effective, is dangerous.

-Mikki Kendall

[trumpsfinalcountdown]

"When I was a kid I thought there must be some way I could perform being good. Perform being ladylike to the point of being safe from sexism, racism, and other violence. After all, my grandmother was so determined to make it stick, it had to mean something. What I discovered was that it offered me absolutely no protection. That people took it as a sign of weakness, and that if I wanted to do more than survive I had to be able to fight back." - Hood Feminism: Notes From The Women That A Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

[haveyoureadthispoll]

Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?

“You can argue that conservative values are at odds with feminist ideology, but ultimately the question has to be not only what women are we empowering, but also what are we empowering them to do. White women aren't just passive beneficiaries of racist oppression; they are active participants.”

White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson

Discusses the history of systematic racism in the U.S. starting at the end of the Civil War. It was a bit difficult for me to understand at times, but it really is an excellent book that taught me a lot.

Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

Another one that focuses on racism specifically within the US. It, like the next recommendation, talks about the ways that mainstream white feminism has failed women of color, specifically Black women.

White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color by Ruby Hamad

Though this book has the same basic concept as the previous one, it covers not just Black women but many racial and ethnic groups, and isn’t solely about racism in America. Ruby Hamad is an incredible writer who covers manages to cover a plethora of points while connecting them to each other seamlessly.

Ode to Black Moms

Today on the last day of Black History, I want to express appreciation for my mom and all Black moms for without your strength all the African American History I've presented over the course of the last month would not be possible.

Prompt: Please act as an expert in African American History. I want to celebrate and find resources that celebrete the triump and joys of Black motherhood in America. Let's start with two poems, one should be a poem about black motherhood in america by a famous author, one should be a poem you create about this ode to my mother- she's always been an inspiration to my life. She was a teacher and a librarian, her love of knowledge which continues to this day into her reitrement is an inspiration. My love and respect for books, knoweldge, and wisdom was fostered from the moment I was born and serves as inspiration for my quest for truth and moral core to always use my technology skills for good. Then I want you to find 5 fiction works and 5 non fiction works centering around black motherhood. Then find 5 youtube clips. Create 3 image prompts which I can use to create imagery for this piece and social media tags for the post.

Poems Celebrating Black Motherhood

1. "The Mother" by Gwendolyn Brooks

Gwendolyn Brooks, the first Black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, wrote The Mother, a poignant poem about the deep emotional connections between Black mothers and their children. While this poem explores loss, it also recognizes the power, love, and resilience inherent in Black motherhood.

Excerpt from The Mother: "Believe me, I knew you, though faintly, and I loved, I loved you All."

2. Original Poem: "Legacy of Love" (for Jonah’s Mother)

Legacy of Love For My Mother, a Teacher and Librarian

In the hush of library halls, I first heard the heartbeat of wisdom— Your voice, patient and steady, Unraveling the mysteries of words, Stacking stories like bricks To build my foundation strong.

You taught me that books were more than ink, That knowledge was more than knowing. It was questioning, seeking, A never-ending river where truth flows, And you, my first navigator, Guided me to its endless shores.

Your hands turned pages like turning soil, Planting the seeds of justice and reason, Teaching me to wield my mind As both a sword and a shield— To fight for truth, To stand in light, To use my gifts for good.

And now, as I build with circuits and code, As I shape the unseen into form, I hear your voice— A whisper of wisdom, A command of love, An eternal guide.

Mama, my first librarian, My lifelong teacher, You are the book I return to, Again and again, Bound in strength, Stamped in love.

There Are 1,448 Days Left Of The Trump Regime

Good morning friends. I hope that everyone is doing well and still choosing to stay and fight despite how hard and horrible it has been. Let's do some journaling today.

Write about how fear has shaped your thoughts and/or actions today.

When we can recognize the influence that fear has on us helps us separate it from reality.

So, if my fear today has caused me to stay in bed and doom scroll, I now can identify that doom scrolling hasn't actually helped me today, and I can remember that for next time. OR maybe doom scrolling has helped me not feel alone, and I am gaining a sense of community at a time I feel isolated. Now I know that if I ever am feeling that way, there are always other people out there that feel similarly.

See, writing it out brings it to focus and now you can recognize pattern that are helpful or challenge the unhelpful ones.

And then we can go from there.

YOUR DAILY RESOURCE: Immigrants Rising is a website full of resources for undocumented students. From scholarships, to entrepreneurship resources, to immigration law, mental health and more. There is a plethora of helpful links, resources, reading, funding, etc to help those that are undocumented and need assistance now. thank you mujeresxpsych on TikTok for sharing this information.

YOUR DAILY QUOTE: "What progressives who ignore history don't understand is that, just like racism is taught, so is distrust. Especially in households like mine, where parents and grandparents who had lived through Jim Crow, COINTELPRO, Reaganomics, and the war on drugs, talked to their children early and often on how to stay out of trouble. When the cops harassed you, but didn't bother to actually protect and serve, when violence broke out between neighbors. Lectures from outsiders on what was wrong with our culture and community weren't what was needed. What we needed was the economic and racial privilege we lacked to be put to work to protect us. Being skeptical of those who promise they care, but do nothing to help those that are marginalized is a life skill that can serve you well when your identity makes you a target." Hood Feminism: Notes From the Women that a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

ARIZONA UPCOMING ELECTION: Phoenix Union High School District Special Mail-in Election AND City of Tucson Special Elections Prop 414. Both are on March 11th!

PHOENIX UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT SPECIAL MAIL-IN ELECTION: If you are not yet aware a federal judge has ordered Maricopa County to redo the election for two Phoenix Union High School District Governing Board seats after the county printed incorrect directions on some ballots.

If you live in Maricopa County please be sure to make your vote matter. The Governing Board is responsible in identifying DISTRICT NEEDS, as well as being responsive of those needs, and to meet those needs in the long and short term. They establish policies, approve or disapprove of budgets, curriculum, and personnel.

These are all DEEPLY important in the current times we are in. Please go and ensure your vote is counted in this redo.

PROPOSITION 414: The full name is Proposition 414 – Safe & Vibrant City.

Prop 414 asks for a half-cent tax increase for the next 10 years and claims it is to fund a vibrant and safer Tucson.

17.50% of the funding would go to affordable housing and shelter

16.75% would go to neighborhood and community resilience

22.75% would go to enhanced emergency response.

12.25% would go to technology investments

But what alarms me is the 30.75% that would be going to Capital Investments for First Responders. Specifically because the funding is going to PPE such as ballistic vests, shields, and "non-lethal enforcement platforms". Approximately $1,700,000 would go towards this per year.

Another 6 Million would go to patrol cars, and replacing their fleet, and another 4 Million a year to the Fire Departments fleet (Firetrucks, Ladder trucks, etc)

$1.5 Million will be used for Public Safety Training Modernization

And more all of which can be found here as well as where the other funds are going to specifically.

This sounds overall like a decent proposition, however the amount of funding needed for things like non-lethal enforcement platforms (Tasers, barriers, pepper spray, bean bags which are the projectiles that are shot out to incapacitate people) does concern me.

It makes me wary that 30% of the funding from this tax will go to police products directly used in the face of protestors during BLM movements among others. This, to me, signifies a preparation under the guise of 'making Tucson beautiful'. However, I do not live there to know if the benefits that would come from this would outweigh the risk of where those funds would go within police departments.

Vote what you think is best, as money would be going to good causes as well - I do not live in Arizona, so I will not speak on what it is like to live there. I can only view from the outside what this MIGHT mean for others.

H. R. 375: Continued Rapid Ohia Death Response Act of 2025. This is a bill that is designed to combat the fungal disease Rapid Ohia Death. This disease has been killing Ohia trees in Hawaii since 2014 when it was discovered. These trees are vital to Hawaii's ecosystems, culture, and watersheds.

This bill is asking for continued federal support to prevent the disease from spreading, Identify Ohia trees that are resistant to it, as well as propagate them.

It asks that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) continue researching how ROD spreads. It asks that the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to continue providing resources to prevent further spreading, and financial and staff resources to the Institute of Pacific Island Forestry (IPIF) and also that the Department of the Interior communicate and collaborate with the Department of Agriculture alongside the Sate of Hawaii to continue to detect, prevent, and restore.

This bill does have quote a bit of senate support, and it looks likely to pass the Senate as well. However, it is still in good practice to voice your support.

Here is a script email you can use to send to your senator.

Subject: Please Support the Continued Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death Response Act (H.R. 375)

Dear [Senator's Name], I am writing to urge you to support the Continued Rapid Ohia Death Response Act of 2025 (H.R. 375) as it moves through the Senate. This bipartisan bill is critical to protecting Hawaii’s native forests from the devastating effects of Rapid Ohia Death (ROD), a fungal disease that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of ʻōhiʻa trees. The Ohia tree is more than just a plant—it is the backbone of Hawaii’s ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining watersheds, preventing erosion, and supporting native biodiversity. Beyond its ecological significance, the Ohia is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture and traditions. Losing these trees at the current alarming rate threatens not just the environment, but also the cultural and economic well-being of the region. H.R. 375 takes a science-backed, collaborative approach to addressing ROD by providing much-needed funding for research, forest restoration, and coordinated management efforts. It will empower agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Geological Survey to work alongside the State of Hawaii to mitigate the spread of this disease and protect the future of these vital forests. The bill passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support (359-62), demonstrating that protecting our nation's natural resources is not a partisan issue—it is a responsibility. I strongly urge you to support this legislation and help ensure the long-term health of Hawaii’s forests and ecosystems. Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your leadership and your commitment to environmental conservation. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] (optional but recommended for constituent verification) [Your Email] (optional but recommended for response)
