microaggressions:
Rest In Power | We are suspending Microaggressions today in memory of Troy Davis, who was killed last night by the state of Georgia despite substantial doubt about his conviction. Our blog is so limited by what we do not post; the larger markers of privilege and power that are structured into unjust institutions. Our posts cannot always encapsulate the scale of these...

ourcatastrophe:
At the forefront of the eugenics movement in Melbourne was a renowned professor of anatomy, Richard Berry, who in the 1920s measured people’s heads in pursuit of a theory that a small head indicated that a person had low intelligence.
