sanguinity: woodcut by M.C. Escher, "Snakes" (Default)
From: [personal profile] sanguinity
If it was my own post, I might put an addendum on the end saying that authors X, Y, and Z above are all authors of color, and that I'm saying so because of Z (service to my readers, or because I think it's worth pointing out POC authors, or whatev). I think referencing race in-text (as opposed to an addendum) would reinforce the squirrely aspects of the way race is typically mentioned and not-mentioned in articles where race isn't relevant. ("How irrelevantly exotic! An Asian author in YA SF!" plus a side heaping of white-as-unmarked-category.)

Not saying an addendum is a good solution, but it is a second topic, and thus supports being a second part to the post. That is, if you can tolerate cobbled-on bits -- your posts are more formal than mine tend to be.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
