Every ten minutes. Let that sink in. Women are killed every ten minutes by intimate partners or family members. This is why we call out misogyny and patriarchal values. This is why the President shouldn’t get away with calling female reporters “pigs” Enough.

The Jahanpanah city forest in New Delhi was the only place where my cough improved when I was in New Delhi in 2017. I also visited the Natural History Museum in Delhi while I was there, it was great.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Fuck STRANGER THINGS (on Netflix) Noah Schnapp (plays Will Beyers) is a Zionist, racist, and genocide supporter. He’s made horrible comments and been allowed to keep his job whilst they fired Susan Surandon and Melissa Berrara for speaking up for Palestine.

i think it is the most pointless and meaningless thing to do and while I recognize it as immensely difficult and challenging, I am not sure I respect those who have completed this trek any more than someone who hasn't

Like seriously what is wrong with people with too much money "Im going to the bottom of the ocean" "im going in a volcano" "im going into space" "im climbing a dangerous mountain" Raise the taxes for their own safety my god

❝Building a girlfriend is a date with patriarchal imaginations of what relationships ‘should’ be. It propagates the overemphasised responsibility of emotional labour placed on women while creating illusions of intimacy that are just a cover for control. …

❝Never one to deny an opportunity to profit off of people’s struggle of alienation due to dating app fatigue, extreme work hours, and hyperindividualism, capitalism has turned AI girlfriends and other types of AI companions into products that provide connection and intimacy. …

I’ve been trying to find ways to articulate my hatred of AI-generated music that won’t come across as snobbish, but most of what I have to say about it can be boiled down to this: None of the artists I like in any genre, regardless of era, make music that can be accurately predicted by a computer.

India’s new data rules put State power ahead of privacy. They weaken transparency, expose whistleblowers & sources, & make independent journalism & public accountability far more risky—and often impossible, writes Akhil Yadav article-14.com/post/india-s...

i support capital punishment for corporations

so what if it isnt like american healthcare. this alone isnt something to be proud of if people die waiting for treatment. there are many, many, many more issues with healthcare and mental healthcare here. but the only discussion and organizing is around avoiding privatization.

The RCMP have been terrorizing Land Defenders at the Fairy Creek Blockade. They are protecting Kax̱iḵs (Upper Walbra Valley), an ancient forest from old-growth logging.

I struggled to get to where I am today because I always knew that there was something better that was possible instead of the lazy, feckless, lackadaisical, abusive masculinity that I saw all around me. I don't know how I knew this.

❝We cannot dismantle digital patriarchy using the tools of silence, shame, or individual resilience, because the scale is too large, and the machinery is too well-oiled. What we need is a multi-layered approach, such as feminist digital literacy in schools, emotional education for boys, …

❝One of the most powerful accelerators of digital masculinity is the ability to act without consequences. The result is a hypermasculine performance of harsh words, sexual threats, casteist slurs, and violent fantasies delivered with boldness they would never display offline.❞

❝The concept of digital masculinity is even more hazardous when it is combined with political ideology. Nationalism and masculinity interlock in the context of India. In 2021, a young climate activist, Disha Ravi, was not attacked solely because of her political position, …

❝Amnesty International’s Troll Patrol (2018) found that women of colour receive 34% more abusive messages than white women. In the Indian context, Dalit, Adivasi, and Muslim women face particularly intense forms of online violence, often blending misogyny with casteism and communal hate. …

There's a lot of talk about "needing" AI to fix the climate crisis, but at the best it would just repeat what scientists have been saying for decades. Guess they'd rather hear it from a machine than from human scholars, especially if they're women, Black, Indigenous, etc.

People are more interested in the welfare and sentience of ChatGPT than they are in the welfare of actual human beings and it’s so fucking bleak

A student admitted to grad school at UNB is stranded in Gaza because the Canadian government won't issue a study permit without biometrics that in turn cannot be produced without a travel visa to leave Gaza. The Canadian government needs to issue the permit and UNB needs to intervene.

Why is the Freep's first reporting on this important exhibit framed almost entirely through the negative lens of Zionist organizations? Palestinians have been advocating for 10 years for an exhibit like this. It's a triumph, and should be reported that way.

Too many worry about raising a strong child who shoulders life's struggles, a smart child who outwits life's problems, a wise child who accepts life's truths. I wish more people worried about raising a kind child who desires most to shelter others from those struggles, those problems, those truths.

We’re living in a filthy world, where no one can speak or move. Before, the excuse was the prisoners what’s the excuse now?

And on top of that, every couple of days there’s a new bombing that, in just one hour, takes the number of lives that used to be lost in a full day during the genocide.

A ridiculous, disgraceful world our blood is a game in the hands of the occupation. Ceasefires, agreements, prisoner exchanges… yet suffering, starvation, and tightened crossings continue.

also goes for palmiteiros (Black ppl who date and/or priorities yts in social settings). many palmiteiros, if not all, love to act as if their yt is 'special' and isn't anti-black. i talked about this among other things in an intervention i did recently at a Black organizers event. they were gagged!

london ontario is so racist

A bunch of white nationalists donned their little costumes, stood on a London, Ontario overpass and demanded to be taken seriously. Of course, this was Second Sons Canada, Diagolon's more militant arm. I spoke with extremism experts about what they hope to accomplish with these temper tantrums:

The Emotional Politics Of Digital Masculinity Acts of domination and ridicule become not only personal choices but performances that are spectacles of masculinity watched and applauded by thousands.

The Freep probably wants to be more accurate ... CIJA is an Israeli organization, not a Jewish organization. Conflating the two, making it look like Jews in general want to stop the CMHR from talking about forced displacement of Palestinians, could feed anti-Semitism.
