"Marie Nejar, the last known surviving Afro-German eyewitness to the horrors of Nazi Germany and a revered voice in Afro-German history, has passed away peacefully in Hamburg at the age of 95."

After Margot Friefländer, we lost another witness to the horrors of the Nazis this month. A great loss. RIP Marie and Margot. We won't forget. The fight against fascism and extremism goes on.

RIVETED: THE HISTORY OF JEANS
American Experience | PBS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmuFWu0Yrg0&t=30

and, once again, am schooled by PBS on the facts behind the American propaganda that is still passed as history, well into grad school level discourse.

PBS has been an invaluable resource of education all throughout my life, which is why i cannot understand why they geoblock their work ―even to Puerto Ricans. so use a VPN to watch it.

@nf3xn @luka About the #blackstodon hashtag, I don't know its history and could well be wrong. I was assuming it was a good faith gathering point.

SO #BlackMastodon i listened to LIKE THAT and, wow, that colonizer line is 😬 because it punctuates all the other accusations; especially THAT one he's been called out for. you know the one am talking about.

am on the fence on what Kendrick means though: is he a colonizer because he's Canadian or because he's cosplaying (American) Blackness?

was reminded today is Nina Simone's birthday. so, here's my favorite clip of her expressing, for many of us, why she chose art as her activism instead of guns; and in spite of not being a non-violent person:

THIS IS NOT SATIRE?!?

i hope this trailer is a mistake; that Focus, don't know how to sell a satire. it wouldn't be the first time a distribution company fucks up a movie's marketing.

i just refuse to believe David Alan Greer would sign up, unironically, for a movie that traffics in one of the most insidious racist tropes in USA mass media.

this has to be satire.

i've spent all this time looking at the black blouse Harriet Tubman is wearing. it looks like it was made in a cotton voile, pleated and embroidered in at least 3-4 different ways. and then look at those sleeves. i hate long sleeves but am totally into the gathering details on those sleeves.

also, the white band of the blouse is an illusion: it's actually the only part of the blouse that is unlined. she looks like she is wearing a white chemise or camisole underneath.

Harriet Tubman's drip is the cottagecore i was not expecting to want yet, here we are.

also, can we talk about how this badass woman was also a looker? like, those cheekbones are giving me all the life.

am totally here for Harriet Tubman abolitioncore
