A Sense of Doubt blog post #1426 - AFROPUNK NEWSLETTER - from 1812.14-24

The Internet is a vast wilderness. Hit it head on, and you get lost in the funhouse. It must be curated, like a museum.

Since it is impossible for me to do purely original content on a daily schedule, I often share material, but I curate first. Remember, as I have written before, this blog supports my STUDY and not my teaching. This is something Warren Ellis has said before, but it has extra resonance with me because I am a teacher. What I mean by the phrase is that most often I am sharing what I am studying and not trying to teach readers, except when I am because I am using the blog to present teaching materials and assignments.

Word.

Here's a recent find.

Wait, what? There's an AFROPUNK NEWSLETTER??? Sign me up. Wow.

Here's an edition from the last weeks of December.

Enjoy.

- Days ago = 1292 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
