This space was born out of a Facebook post I made honoring the legacy of Assata Shakur and a desire to read Assata: An Autobiography in community. That one post made it clear: people are hungry to read, learn, and gather with intention.

In a time when books are being banned and curricula rooted in truth, equity, and liberation are under attack, I’m choosing to respond with study, conversation, and community. I’m drawing from my Master’s in Africana Studies—and from the shelves of my personal library—to create a learning space that is both accessible and rooted.

Here’s what you can expect each month in this group:

A Featured Book: You’ll receive the title pulled directly from my personal collection, with enough notice to purchase, borrow, or revisit.

Shelfie Community Thread: Everyone is invited to share a “shelfie”—a photo of you with the book or the book in your space. It's a low-pressure way to build connection and see what everyone's currently reading or recommending.

Lecture + Q&A: A registration link will go out each month for the main session, open to all. I’ll lead with context, history, and key takeaways, followed by time for questions and conversation.

Affinity Space for BIPOC Women: A separate registration link will be available for those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or women of color. This will be a discussion and creative space centered in healing, voice, and reflection.

I created a Patreon tier connected to this series because sustaining a learning space like this takes time, labor, and resources. When you join as a patron, you’re not just getting extra content—you’re helping make this work possible.

Your support allows me to:

Research, revisit, and prepare books from my personal library
Create lecture notes, slides, and discussion guides
Host and manage Zoom sessions
Hold space for both the public talks and the BIPOC affinity circle
Keep this work community-centered instead of institution-controlled
Continue building spaces where Black literature, resistance, and healing are centered

Shelfies on Patreon ($25) receive added access and resources, including:

Automatic access to the Zoom link for the monthly book talk
Audio playback of the session
Extended Q&A
Downloadable notes & discussion guide

If you’re here, you're in the right place. This series is about study as resistance, reading as remembrance, and conversation as community. I’m glad you’re part of it.

MMOexp Diablo 4: In the dark and chaotic world of Diablo 4, power comes to those who seek it—and for Sorcerers, few weapons embody destructive potential quite like the Staff of Endless Rage. This Unique Staff amplifies magical devastation, allowing players to rain down unrelenting fury on the forces of Hell. Whether you're aiming to Diablo 4 Gold dominate PvE content or incinerate foes in PvP battles, this staff is a must-have for any fire-focused Sorcerer build.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about acquiring the Staff of Endless Rage, why it's such a powerful asset, and how your Diablo 4 Gold and Diablo 4 items can support you on the journey.

What Is the Staff of Endless Rage

The Staff of Endless Rage is a Unique item designed exclusively for the Sorcerer class. As a staff, it offers high base damage and significant bonuses to core Sorcerer abilities, particularly those related to fire and area-of-effect spells. Its unique affixes enhance offensive spells like Fireball, Meteor, or Incinerate, transforming them into relentless engines of destruction.

Equipping this staff often results in reduced cooldowns, increased spell effectiveness, or effects that trigger additional fiery explosions on impact. It's a perfect fit for any Sorcerer looking to maximize DPS while keeping enemies at a distance.

How to Obtain the Staff of Endless Rage

Like many rare and powerful Diablo 4 Items, the Staff of Endless Rage cannot simply be purchased or crafted. Instead, it drops through the game's randomized loot system, which means patience and persistence are key.

Random World Drops

The most basic way to acquire the Staff of Endless Rage is by playing the game naturally. It can drop from:

Elite enemies

Dungeon bosses

World bosses

Treasure chests

Breakable objects like urns or crates

While the drop is possible on any Difficulty Tier, your chances significantly increase on higher Torment levels. These elevated difficulties offer better loot tables, making them essential for players farming Unique items.

Target Farming: Echo of Varshan

For those who prefer a more strategic approach, target farming is your best option. The Echo of Varshan is a high-tier boss known to drop Unique items, including the Staff of Endless Rage. To summon him, you'll need to buy Diablo IV Gold gather Malignant Body Parts and craft a Varshan Summoning Material at the Tree of Whispers.

MMOexp COD BO7: Phantom Current also introduces the Tactical Flash Drone, a game-changing operator skill that lets players launch a small drone capable of disorienting enemy players with a flash burst. Once deployed, the drone can hover toward enemy positions and blind opponents, making it a perfect tool for BO7 Bot Lobbies pushing objectives, clearing buildings, or countering sniper nests.

This drone emphasizes team-based tactical plays and offers a fresh alternative to the usual barrage of lethal and explosive operator skills. It's unlocked via seasonal challenges and has quickly found a home in competitive loadouts for its disruption potential.

Battle Pass: Charged with Rewards

The Season 7 Battle Pass is one of the most electrifying yet, offering a well-balanced mix of free and premium rewards:

Free Tier Highlights:

Striker 45 SMG

Tactical Flash Drone Operator Skill

Weapon blueprints

COD Points

Calling cards and emblems

Premium Tier Highlights:

Operator Skins: Ether – Sea Serpent, Alex – Sweeper, Roze – Electric Blue, and Templar – Vengeful.

Blueprints: Electrified designs for the M4, Kilo 141, and new Striker 45.

Backpack Skins, Charms, and Epic Camos

The electric sea theme flows throughout the pass, with skins and cosmetics featuring bright blues, electric arcs, and underwater stealth motifs.

Limited-Time Mode: Surge Protocol

Season 7 also brings a new limited-time mode called Surge Protocol, a multiplayer mode inspired by Search and Destroy but with EMP-based objectives. Instead of planting bombs, players must plant or protect electromagnetic surge devices that disable opposing team electronics. This adds a new twist to strategy, encouraging coordination and clever use of anti-tech operator skills.

Surge Protocol is ideal for squads and rewards smart, coordinated play rather than raw aggression. It's a welcome addition to cheap Bot Lobby BO7 the game's tactical offerings and fits the Phantom Current narrative perfectly.
