Resources Post -- Help, Please

Dec 12, 2009 00:59

Hey there, guys. I'm slowly working to transform my SEE Trek!Fail post into a general "-isms" resources page. I've been slowly adding things to it, and striking out the bits that aren't generally applicable ( Read more... )

activism: sexism, activism: disability, activism: queer folks, activism: racism, fandom: general, misc: help, activism: general, activism: fat phobia, activism: classism

Could you use the two vlogs by Jay Smooth at the top of this page? I don't know if these are good 101 resources-- the first one at least seems more directed at people who are already knowledgeable about activism than I was when I started reading through the resources page-- but I like the way the guy breaks the issues down. In the video about racism, the points about calling a person racist vs. calling a person's actions racist felt like the flipside of the 'how not to be crazy when accused of racism' article.

Oh, and just in case, this FAQ talks about asexuality, attempts to define it, and explains its potential overlap with being bi, gay or straight. You might want to stay away from the forums, though-- I haven't checked it in a while, but I seem to remember some of the members' philosophies don't line up with this FAQ ( ... )

I'll look into those asap! Thanks. ^^

The general asexuality FAQ is a great one, and I added it no problem. The vlogger is both right and hilarious (the Bill O'Reilly rapper was too funny), but the problem there is that it's not accessible. I may make a transcript the top two later, but it'll take awhile. Ideally I'd be able to find similar things on sites that are accessible.

And hey, don't worry about link problems. They happen. ^^
