History in White and otherwise

Process? Content? / Tools? Content? / Access? Shareability? Think of the above as some kind of outline or several lenses for finding paths through what RantWoman is going to write.


Tagging this post #WomensHistoryMonth for one thing because the podcast below features the work of NW journalist Leah Sottile, clearly an able journalist and historical recordkeeper.

Even though RantWoman needs to noodle around about what "reading" means for her and how she does or does not absorb information, RantWoman is dead serious about the value of the two items here.


Two resources have come RantWoman's way related to racism in the NW and the white supremacist movement, a phenomenon RantWoman specifically means to distinguish from the general societal soup of white supremacy we all swim in 


--An episode of what seems like a very cool podcast

Militias, White Supremacy, and the US capitol Insurrection

--Blunt assessments of many contemporary realities 

--History most of which RantWoman has lved through but stunning when laid out event to event.


George Bush; the one who launched a Puget Sound Settlement


Tools ?  / Content?

Does RantWoman have the necessary device and connectivity--and additional adeptness with accessibility tools to be able to consume the content?


Is the content available in pathways that operate in RantWoman's tools / connectivity / skills environment?


True confession: RantWoman does not really know how to deal with podcasts. Also RantWoman kind of thinks it would be cool to keep her hand-me-down iPad as a media device for ebooks, podcasts, and of course email and the raw internet. So far RantWoman is barely fluent enough in iOS and Voiceover to get close to this aspiration. RantWoman probably needs to find a person geeky in the right flavors of technology and just hang out with them. But in the meantime, check out the above items.
