Bombing Nigeria (on Christmas of all days) is such grotesque behavior

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

For the record, MS NOW bleeped Leslie Jones — not us.

"Humans tend to have biases, and the systems we construct often reflect those biases. Citing racism in our justice system isn't mere shaming, it's a call for humility and self-awareness, which presently evades us." — Ta-Nehisi Coates (2014)

We aren’t meant to heal alone, even nature knows this.🍃 The Hidden Life of Trees, details how trees in a forest care for each other. They share nutrients and warn each other through underground fungal networks. They help keep each other alive. 1/2

In light of today’s discourse, a reminder: Women have always worked. The big shift from feminism was women getting access to all types of workplaces with an expectation of equal compensation. When they say they want to kick us out of the workplace, they actually mean they want us to work for free.

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

The attempts by Western institutions to normalise Israel since the ceasefire are disgusting and absurd. First, Israel has not stopped killing Palestinians, and by all accounts is eager to do more of it.

My fav bookpile. 📖 #bibliophile #explore #reading #trees

It is clear that with this ceasefire Western governments and media want us all to let bygones be bygones. Never. Israel committed a genocide, we all witnessed the most obscene violence it is possible to imagine, and we need to see the perpetrators locked up in The Hague.

Today is a good day to remind everyone that the US narrative claiming the President of Venezuela is a drug trafficker is 100% lies. The Trump administration knows this, the Nobel committee knows this... it is a campaign to manufacture consent for invasion. Don't fall for it.

What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced. We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

Full solidarity with the flotilla, which represents the very best of humanity. And eternal shame to the European states who refused to protect it from Israeli assault and establish a corridor for aid to Gaza.

The passing of Jane Goodall, the primatologist who changed the the way science views non-human animals, has unleashed a flood of remembrances. Here are stories of Goodall's lasting legacy told by the people who knew her best. nautil.us/the-indomita...

“You stayed free. You saw life’s sunset, & got to go gray. Your life was a literal revolution they could not cage. As you rest in power & peace, may your words light the path to our continued resistance. May you soar in the cosmos, cuz you surely left stardust. FREE 🕊” #AssataShakur #OrikibyLuvvie

“I remind us that powerful revolutionary systems incur powerful enemies! Success actually makes me WAY LESS SAFE than failure does!” —Ismatu Gwendolyn A MUST READ by @ismatu.bsky.social www.threadings.io/the-financia...

Israel has bombed Qatar in an attempt to murder Gaza negotiators gathered for ceasefire talks, just days after bombing Yemen to murder the Prime Minister and cabinet in Sanaa, all while conducting a genocide. Obscene levels of violence. A terrorist regime in the fullest sense.

Yolanda proved daily that it was possible to smile while wreathed in sadness. In fact, she proved that the smile was more powerful & sweeter because it had to press itself through mournfulness to be seen, force itself through cruelty to show that the light of survival shines for us all. #MayaAngelou

If you do not know me, my name is ismatu and I am a publicly-funded scholar. I write essays at threadings.io | I am using bluesky to talk about current events that are interesting enough to write about but not meaty enough to warrant an essay on. Thanks for having me!

“Doctors are to Black women what police are to Black men.” This statement hits hard because it reflects an often painful truth: Black women are too often dismissed, ignored, and endangered in healthcare. Medical racism is real — and it’s costing lives. Repost from modestly.fly_

If you’re chronically ill and struggling to rest or pace… you’re not alone. Resting is hard. It’s frustrating to admit that you can’t just play through the pain the way you used to. It’s also necessary. I try to view rest as a form of radical self care and resistance. It’s needed for survival.
