please keep talking about Palestine, keep sharing posts and raising awareness. I see less and less people talking about the genocide and the Palestinian people need us to keep on speaking up for them: so many journalists have been assassinated, arrested, or threatened and Israel has been shutting down all communication to try and keep the world in the dark. The least we can do is be their voice

it’s easier for me to keep updated and share on Instagram so here are some accounts I recommend if you want to stay informed about what is going on. Please comment with more accounts if you know any

i had seen a post floating around with links to the social media accounts of reporters in gaza but couldn't find it so i'm making my own. here are accounts to follow to get the raw unedited footage and information of what is currently happening on the ground in gaza in real time.

those currently on the ground in gaza:

instagram: hindkhoudary, her twitter account is here. she has an international e-sim so even when the internet is cut off she's able to give live updates.

instagram: byplestia, her tiktok account is here.

instagram: motaz_azaiza, one of the more popular users rn. (note: motaz does not have any accounts on other platforms and there are many uploading his content on other sites and claiming to be him to scam people, DNI.)

instagram: wizard_bisan1

instagram: joegaza93

instagram: wael_eldahdouh. he is one of the most well-known reporters in gaza rn working for al jazeera. the IDF recently targeted and killed his entire family, but he continues to report.

instagram: mohamed.h.masri

instagram: alijadallah66

twitter: refaat in gaza

twitter: muhammad smiry

accounts of those not in gaza but are palestinian & do great job at providing analysis/context:

instagram: eid_yara

instagram: gazangirl

instagram: anat.international

instagram: sbeih.jpg - his tiktok is here

instagram: naleybynature - her tiktok is here

instagram: anees - his tiktok is here

news accounts and palestinian activist groups:

instagram: eye.on.palestine

instagram: palestinianyouthmovement

instagram: jewishvoiceforpeace

instagram: ajplus

instagram: decolonizethisplace

as you can see a lot of this coverage is being done through instagram/tiktok and a lot of it is being shared through stories (which expire after 24 hrs). many have been making concerted efforts to preserve the footage and images as the rampant censorship and ease with which these accounts can be purged is concerning.

this is not a comprehensive list, just the ones i follow and keep up with.

resist, stay alert, and free 🇵🇸

Posted @withregram • @wokescientist Capitalism, aspirations, ambitions, dreams & goals - how we do dream BIG while never losing sight that no one is free until we are all free? Dream of liberation, not luxury ✖️Does your self-worth & self-esteem hinge on being better than or superior to your fellow human beings? We are all socialized such that it does. Do you gain validation from having more material possessions, titles, awards, or “political knowledge” than other folks? We’re socialized to think that “better than” means innately more worthy.

Beyond being able to have basic security to survive- my ego can’t drive my aspirations 🌹 I’ve grappled w/ this to make more humble, collective choices rather than capitalist ones even if its appealing, socially acceptable or simpler. There was value in me aspiring for more when I had little to nothing, but I know now that that aspiration was for basic security & stability- food, water, shelter, community. I never need to aspire to wealth & superior status to be safe. Aspiring to possess more hurts me & everyone cuz our liberations are tied • • • • • #anticapitalism #anticapitalist #abolition #abolishcapitalism #abolishthestate #anarchism #anarchist #anarchy #mutualaid #leftist #leftists #neoliberalism #wekeepussafe #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizethisplace #decolonizedminds #decolonizeyourbookshelf #unlearnandrelearn #unlearning #unlearn #houselessnothomeless #solidaritynotcharity #revolutionnow #abolitionnow #abolitionist https://www.instagram.com/p/CbF-XU4B-HF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Artist Victor Davson; Decolonizing Art Spaces in Newark, NJ Even after 35 years of knowing him, I continue to be inspired by Victor’s public and personal art practice in Newark, NJ. Victor is the co-founder of Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art in Newark. He and Carl E. Hazelwood founded Aljira together in 1983 as a non-profit center for contemporary visual art to promote the work of emerging and under-represented artists. Tune in to find out more about this dynamic Art Leader and Cultural Disrupter on our podcast, WhatsNewarkGotToDoWithIt.com. Aljira was a vital hub for creative excellence in Newark’s downtown arts district for over three decades.  Victor served as its director for 33 years. His professional and charismatic leadership has, and continues to have, a profound impact on the artistic landscape of Newark and the Tri-State region. Artists of the African Diaspora, women and other underrepresented artists are exhibited, engaged and given global platforms that had never been realized, before he landed in the city of Newark. Victor’s visual art practice is heavily influenced by the anti-colonial politics of the Caribbean, and by the intellectual powerhouses of that period. 1.

I keep seeing jokes about disappearing under mysterious circumstances, and I get it, the urge to vanish.

But I also think about how many missing and murdered indigenous people are out there, and I think about how because of who I am and where I live, I might be next. You can never know. You just never know.

[nowiwonderhowwhatsherfacehasbeen]

meanwhile in the BIPOC world of academia, my white American suburban professor thinks this is a sentence with "too many complex ideas that are difficult to speak to at once" and is also "confusing and loaded, needs to be broke into manageable chunks for comprehension". this is the sentence:

I believe these questions were important to discuss because, without applying an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens to our practice, especially as students, we fail to: take into account the invisible systemic barriers that our clients may face; position ourselves as social workers as part of the problem; and identify, let alone initiate, the complexity of the work required to undo our own biases regarding viewing and working with “others”.

Posted @withregram • @iamlexchandra THE GENDER BINARY IS A VIOLENT COLONIAL TOOL OF SOCIAL CONTROL. Write that down. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩 Image description: [tweet by @joashilia on Twitter 1/6 “ I wish more people recognized how much the gender binary is rooted in colonialism. Prior to their colonization, Africans and other indigenous people not only had spaces for trans, genderfluid, and non binary people, but they were often venerated within the society...” 2/6 “The concept of a gender binary as it exists today (male v female) was an introduced concept. For many cultures, gender was not limited to sexual organs. Religious systems often allowed for and encouraged diff gender expression. Additionally, there were more than just two genders” 3/6 “For example, African deities and spirits in the Vodou framework can present as feminine, masculine, agender, trans, or genderfluid. In Vodou spirit possessions, women can temporarily “turn into” men by being inhabited by a masculine spirit and vice versa.” 4/6 “In Native American cultures, two-spirit (a sort of third and sometimes fourth gender representing both masculine and feminine spirits) and intersex individuals would serve important roles in traditional religious ceremonies” 5/6 “Even gender roles and the societal value of women were heavily influenced by colonization. Traditionally, female agricultural labor and reproductive ability were so highly valued in Africa that husbands had to pay a Brideswealth to the bride’s family for their loss of income.” 6/6 “Alternatively in Europe, the custom was for the bride’s family to pay the husband a Dowry because it was assumed that he’d be taking on a financial responsibility who couldn’t provide for herself.”] #transgender #twospirit #twospirited #queer #enby #nonbinary #genderfluid🌈 #genderfluid #genderisasocialconstruct #genderbinary #colonialism #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizethisplace #decolonizeyourbookshelf #vodou #femme #masc #masculine #feminineenergy #indigenousculture #deities #intersex #intersexisbeautiful #transisbeautiful #blacktranslivesmatter #genderroles #blacktranswomen #blacktransmen #lgbtqhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwZGW_h7fb/?igshid=gt2yy8myh2sw
