ya gorl (nonbinary) is going back to skewl

I will also keep forgetting I have this one. eet eez what eet eez

i read theory and i critically engage with literature bc i owe it to my community (the Black Diaspora, the Caribbean, islanders) to be a better person in order to work towards our liberation. it is out of love for my peoples that i do this

it’s also disingenuous to read theory (shallowly) then lord that knowledge over other people. theory and the analysis of it should not be reduced to dunks or social/cultural capital. why would you read it only to feel superior to people who may not even have access to it?

why is your engagement with theory so shallow that you can only name people who have harmful politics? decolonizing your tbr and theory should not mean engaging with works by ppl deeply entrenched in the structures and institutions that oppress and exploit us

why do you read theory? why do you “critically” engage with literature? is it just to dunk on people who may not have the resources you do? why are you not approaching theory and lit as a form of grappling and growth with your own prejudices and ideologies?

this sc succinctly demonstrates the issues with how theory and literature are currently approached. what is it you seek to gain by namedropping theorists and people you perceive to be radical while doing nothing to engage with and help community

AQUÍ MATARON GENTE POR SACAR LA BANDERA, POR ESO ES QUE AHORA YO LA LLEVO DONDE QUIERA CABRÓN

A MI ME IMPORTA UN BICHO LO QUE A TI TE VALE VERGA

Ocho años hoy de María. Pero lo peor no fue el 20 de septiembre de 2017. Lo peor fue el infierno de los meses siguientes sin luz. Los meses más terribles de todas nuestras vidas.

A reminder that the brutal occupation of #WestPapua and the ongoing persecution of Indigenous Papuans is a horror that is largely undocumented & invisibilised. Like so much black suffering, furthest away in proximity to Whiteness, their revolution has NOT been televised. #FREEWESTPAPUA #Oceania

From ‘A Woman’s Liberation’ in Four Ways to Forgiveness by Ursula K Le Guin, originally published in 1995

Hawaiians are coming together to buy land back from a billionaire investment firm in an unprecedented move. One-third of the island of Molokai is owned by Hong Kong-headquartered billionaire investment firm Guoco Group. Now, people have launched a plan to buy back their island.

NEW: Procurement records and a corporate document show the FBI installed three antennas meant to aid surveillance operations across Puerto Rico. The antennas are part of a video collections system meant to transport and centralize surveillance for DOJ sub-agencies heavyweather.media/fbi-installe...

fuera el imperialismo yanqui!

Ya empezaron los yanquis a revivir las bases militares en Puerto Rico. Esto es una total asquerosidad, no queremos ser parte de tus juegos geopolíticos de invasión e intervención. No queremos más bombas, más soldados, más guerras sangrientas e innecesarias. #NoBasesMilitaresEnPR

me jode un poco que le pide a mi grupo que lean los primeros tres capitulos de mi libro y ya van casi tres semanas y nadie no ha leido

Please help Aseel survive this genocide and thrive in a world where she can be free

recien me doy cuenta que no puedo poner mi aire en eco mode pq me da terror cada vez que se apaga y eso es por lo del temblor de reyes

I love conversations about when "America turned authoritarian" because you can tell none of the people involved know or speak to any Indigenous people on the continent, any Kānaka or CHamoru, any Puerto Ricans, or any Virgin Islanders. our subjugation at the hands of America never counts

"Resist accounts stop using AI to make the shittiest memes" challenge. Level: impossible.

A pesar de no tener ningún permiso aprovado, ya los de Proyecto Esencia están excarvando en busca de pozos que nunca darán el agua necesaria pa mantener esa monstrosidad de proyecto.

This is an extremely fringe ideology that’s mostly exclusively held by monarchists who are typically just as right wing as MAGA

you are literally promoting an ideology as fascist as the one that supports statehood. if you’re not familiar with politics on the island, don’t speak on it

ENG: HEADS UP FOR ANYONE LIVING IN PUERTO RICO!!!!!! SPA: AVISO PARA TODES QUE ESTEN VIVIENDO EN PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!! ICE has been spotted in 2 of the biggest malls in Puerto Rico as well as in Rio Piedras. Reminder that PR is a US Colony so of course ICE would be here as well. #Borisky #PuertoRico

I just love culture and studying history and seeing the beauty and resilience

Una inmigrante dominicana residente legal aquí, y protegida por ser víctima de violencia de género, fue a la alcaldía de Cabo Rojo, a orientarse sobre los permisos para operar un negocio. Un guardia municipal le llamó a los federales. Hoy está desaparecida www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/loc...

First anti-ICE protest announced in Puerto Rico following the protests in LA. This one will be part of the "No Kings" day of mass protest across the US on June 14.

El Departamento de Educación dice que los federales no le han solicitado información sobre status migratorio de estudiantes. Lamentablemente, dadas experiencias recientes, hay que poner en duda esta afirmación www.telemundopr.com/historias-de...

always so funny when i am treated with more disgust/revulsion for wearing a mask than people who are open-mouth coughing in people’s faces

Death of an empire

NOBODY GO TO THE DISCOTEK

Hawai'i' has lost so many species That is why we are considered the extinction capital. It will also set up the ability of Felon to shoot his rockets over Papahānaumokuākea National Marine Sanctuary, as well as the Humpback whales migration path. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

absolutely absurd that medicaid covers eye doc visits so i can be told i need glasses but does not cover the glasses (which i need)

this is what happens when you act like latinidad is a race and ignore that white latinos are just as white supremacist as their anglophone counterparts

I obtained documents from the "largest counterintelligence training event in US Army Reserve Command history," which was held in Puerto Rico during the summer of 2023. You can read more about it here: heavyweather.media/puerto-rico-vigilant-defender-23-foia/

If Dan Brown is right, Ewan McGregor will be our next Pope as long as Tom Hanks doesn’t meddle where he’s not supposed to.

my mother was supposed to fly back on sat and wanted to push her flight back to mon at midday, but since she REFUSES to do any of her own travel arrangements bc she forces ME to do it, she had me change her flight and I picked the earlier flight by mistake

ah bueno...

Todo el asunto de la soberanía está atado a la naturaleza, porque está atado a los derechos inherentes de la naturaleza y a los derechos humanos.

I'm not actually kidding when I say we all have to be the friend that's too woke and it is absolutely our jobs to make sure people around us don't fall into being reactionary and be okay when they do the same for us
