A big part of why I wanted to start this blog was to have a place to write and learn about issues like racism, misogyny, transphobia, heterosexism, privilege, oppression, etc etc. And one of the things I have really appreciated about the past few years is having that space to share some of the important articles and resources I find about those issues. Because I am a white person, I will never be able to fully articulate and write about issues surrounding race and racism – for that, I’m particularly grateful for the amazing PoC writers and artists out there addressing these issues.

I feel like the title of this post is mildly misleading but I did want to spend some time rounding up some more links, articles, cartoons, and other resources about race that I might not have already used in previous posts:
