On racism.

Having recently posted in reaction to RaceFail in another venue, I decided it was worth it to me to post something here as well. I feel strongly about this topic, and it is important to me to be clear on where I stand

This is something I've been meaning to say to you. And this seems as best an entry as there is to say it ... just so we're clear.

I really admire you.

*hugs* Thank you very much, Tricky.

I admire you too. :)

Ditto tricky up there. And yeah, I'm struggling too, so I'm in.

*hugs* Sounds good. We can row our flailboat together.

[the_drifter]

Awesome. :)

Absolutely. Thanks for this post.

Hey, I wanted to say while it was on my mind: I admire you hugely for the work you do trying to educate your students and shift them away from bigotry. Those efforts are exhausting and often thankless, and they're the way we make human beings collectively a little bit better. Thank you for doing it.

If my flatmate hadn't been sat right next to me at the time, that comment'd have made me cry. Thanks so much - I feel like I'm headbutting a brick wall (unlike the other student that one of my bundles of fun headbutted today) most of the time, so I appreciate what you said so much.

*clings pathetically to your leg*
