My #BZF2026 haul. For the first time, I got my hands on a #BZF event program (which in the previous two years got snatched up early). Some tablers gave me stuff for free, so I actually (thankfully) came in under budget in terms of spending on #zines. Another great #BlackZineFair! ✊🏾✂️ #DIY #NYC

Felicidades a mi Mami. 🖤 Heredé el amor por los Atléticos de ella. Aquí cuando fuimos a un juego en el Arquelio el mes pasado. 🏀🍊 #bsn

Lucía bigotito fino y mullet cuando llegó a Zaragoza. Iba sobrado de carisma Piculín Ortiz, el pívot puertorriqueño que se hartó de meter canastas contra tablero también en Madrid, Barcelona o Málaga. Y buen tipo, por lo que me contaron. Una pena, se va con solo 62 años.

#OnThisDay, April 8, 1827, Ramón Emeterio Betances was born in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. A doctor, revolutionary, & advocate for freedom, he fought against a cholera epidemic, led efforts to free enslaved peoples, & played a key role in Puerto Rico's fight for independence.

Every Middle Easterner who knows anything is going to be warning the world that you cannot trust Israel while we get ignored while Israel triggers another war and fucks it all up again. Understand this if nothing else: Israeli politics needs war. That’s how they resolve tensions between them.

#OtD 6 Apr 1981 Operation Swamp 81 was carried out by police in Brixton, rounding up and searching Black residents. In five days, over 900 people were stopped and searched, with 82 arrests. The local area erupted into rioting, which spread nationally stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1058...

More on Ms. Sanchez-McCray. "She is the first known trans person to die by violence in 2026, although other trans victims may have been misgendered in news reports as well, obfuscating their deaths." May her memory be for a blessing.

#bookmail 🔥 Resisting Erasure: Libraries in Palestine and Palestine in Libraries edited by Nora Lester Murad & Mary L. Onorato. Glad to see a piece by librarian Lesley Williams. I've followed the bullshit she endured at her library over a decade ago for organizing Palestinian programming.
