I am not ashamed of where I came from; the hood taught me that feminism isn’t just academic theory. It isn’t a matter of saying the right words at the right time. Feminism is the work that you do, and the people you do it for who matter more than anything else.
Mikki Kendall in the introduction of Hood Feminism
Hey y’all! Just a short post to let y’all know that I’m attending Furnal Equinox 2024 so there won’t be any blog posts other than this one this week . I am writing this after attending the first day of the event and I don’t think I’ll have the time and/or energy to write any other blog posts.
I do have a book review in the queue that I am planning on having written and published sometime next week.
I am super excited to be attending my very first furry convention, I’ll see y’all next week!
The pursuit of knowing was freedom to me, the right to declare your own curiosities and follow them through all manner of books. I was made for the library, not the classroom. The classroom was a jail of other people’s interests. The library was open, unending, free.
