# Quarantine Notes - Week 12


In the wake of the death of
[George Floyd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_George_Floyd) and the
protests that followed, it seemed insensitive to write about my normal topics.
It's been shocking to see the level of police violence occurring in full view of
the world.

So, instead, just a few links to other's who have been able to write about this
more cogently than I can:

-   Ta-Nehisi Coates'
    _[Between the World and Me](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25489625-between-the-world-and-me)_
    is a powerful book that changed how I think about inequity in the United
    States.
-   I've put Ibram X. Kendi's
    _[How to Be an Antiracist](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40265832-how-to-be-an-antiracist)_
    on my reading list.
-   [Please Pay for Your News](https://goel.io/pay-for-news) by Karan Goel
-   An [image scrubber tool](https://everestpipkin.github.io/image-scrubber/) to
    protect protesters' privacy when posting photos online.
-   [Seattle Times' Coverage](https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/sadness-fury-violence-in-seattle-over-death-of-george-floyd-durkan-calls-for-curfew-national-guard/)
    of the protests in Seattle.
