Yesterday when legally placing @JoeBiden signs on a public road in LI a man named @roysilber w/ @corcorangroup pulled up parked his car besides me, illegally ripped up the sign & threw it in2 a puddle.Since I was alone I immediately grabbed my phone.This scary incident ensued. 1/
I had no idea who this despicable man #RoySilber was that proceeded to call me “a fucking Cunt”, & said “fuck u” & when I asked who he was he said “you should know who I am”, & “you’ll find out.” He also included the threat “watch me, for You & everyone in your family” 2/
He also threatened me to “watch him” & follow him because ”all signs going down.”

Later, I find out this father @roysilber lives in my neighborhood. I had to block #RoySilber in Oct ‘18 Bc he was threatening & harassing me on fb, so much so that I had to file a police report 3/

1/ A very compelling story about how #Women's #Pain & especially #Black women's pain is dismissed and disregarded by the healthcare system.

today.com/health/implici…
2/ The story begins with a woman with sickle cell & her horrifying experience in the hospital. It also discusses pain from syndrome's unique to women, like endometriosis or fibroids.
3/ Pain is a feminist issue. #PainToo must be believed. First, there is the dismissal of women's accounts of their own bodies, tracing to a history of dismissal of symptoms due to absurd misconceived views of #Hysteria in women. Trans folks get the same treatment, or worse.

We've heard from y'alls inquiries on how we build interdisciplinary coalitions for health justice. This fellowship is a 9-month opportunity for people committed to creating intersectional healing, initiatives that advocate for collective liberation and healing for all people.
Through this fellowship, we believe we can most effectively cultivate and learn from leaders who embody our Freedom School philosophy: Healing and transforming ourselves as we transform and heal our communities. Change starts with us.

I’ve had multiple ppl tell me that if I don’t get tenure I have a lawsuit on my hands & yet a part of me is still like: Racism & sexism are wild & I trust no white man’s “meritocracy”. I’ll feel confident I have tenure when I see the paperwork that says so & not a second sooner.
There are too many horror stories of talented, accomplished women of color being denied tenure, particularly at elite universities. There are too many stories of people working themselves into health crises & strained relationships for 6 yrs only to be told no.
You can’t ask me to put faith in a system that has harmed & failed so many people I admire. I will believe it when I see it. And in the meantime, I’ll be spending this summer preparing myself for what I do if it’s a no.

It’s so funny and ironic how #liberals call #RadicalFeminism#WhiteFeminism”, yet, I’ve come across so much actual #racism directed at me and other #GenderCritical black women from self-righteous #trans activists/allies and libfems. 🙄
I’ve gotten more racism from that crowd in the past two weeks than I’ve gotten from any #RadicalFeminists in two months. Or any amount of time. Liberals routinely erase the radical #WomenOfColor from history who either called themselves #radfems or influenced radical feminism so
that they can call radical feminism “white”, misappropriate #Intersectionality from #BlackFeminism to try and justify including males in #feminism, argue that “transwomen are women the same way Black women are women”, (racist and dehumanizing comparison of black women to males),
