Hi, I'm V! #introduction

I am a late-fifties white, fat #disabled #nonbinary person. I live with my partner D & his partner, E, who also hang round on fedi. Sadly, we currently have no pets, but we help out our neighbours & friends with dog walking and pet sitting.

I have a bunch of chronic illnesses & conditions that limit my energy, so posting & response times can be slow and sporadic, but I do my best. I will CW when appropriate and provide image descriptions. I don't boost images without descriptions.

I love the #fediverse; however, I am aware of the problems this place has, especially for #BIPOC . I try to use it critically & thoughtfully and do my best not to be part of the problem. I do appreciate being called out/in if I fuck up, but I recognise that responsibility is mine to do better.

I am trying to unlearn a whole bunch of #racist #colonialist crap amongst other things, so I can be a halfway decent human. BTW Fuck whiteness, white supremacist, nationalist bollocks in any form or shape. I won't argue with you, I'll block & report you.

I like #sewing , #art , #gardening , #craft, #photography, and #Slowmaking stuff in general.

The fifth myth is that the #Palestinian struggle is that of terrorism and nothing more. The struggle led by the PLO was a liberation struggle against a #colonialist project. Somehow the #world finds it difficult to grant legitimacy to anti-colonialist struggle when most of the #oppressed are Muslim and the oppressor is Jewish. (9)

20 Lessons from the 20th Century About How to Defend #Democracy from #Authoritarianism, According to Yale #Historian #TimothySnyder

in History | January 20th, 2017

"Timothy Snyder, Housum Professor of History at Yale University, is one of the foremost scholars in the U.S. and Europe on the rise and fall of #totalitarianism during the 1930s and 40s. Among his long list of appointments and publications, he has won multiple awards for his recent international bestsellers '#Bloodlands: Europe between #Hitler and #Stalin' and last year’s 'Black Earth: The #Holocaust as History and Warning.' That book in part makes the argument that #Nazism wasn’t only a #German #nationalist movement but had global #colonialist origins—in #Russia, #Africa, and in the #UnitedStates, the nation that pioneered so many methods of human extermination, #racist #dehumanization, and ideologically-justified #LandGrabs.

"The hyper-#capitalism portrayed in the U.S.—even during the Depression—Snyder writes, fueled Hitler’s imagination, such that he promised Germans 'a life comparable to that of the American people,' whose 'racially pure and uncorrupted' German population he described as 'world class.' Snyder describes Hitler’s ideology as a myth of racialist struggle in which 'there are really no values in the world except for the stark reality that we are born in order to take things from other people.' Or as we often hear these days, that acting in accordance with this principle is the 'smart' thing to do. Like many far right figures before and after, Hitler aimed to restore a state of nature that for him was a perpetual state of race war for imperial dominance."

#NavajoNation Dishonors Legacy of #KleeBenally: Agrees to #Uranium Transport Through #Navajo Communities

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, February 3, 2025

"The Navajo Nation dishonored the memory and legacy of Klee Benally by agreeing to allow radioactive uranium trucks to travel through the Navajo Nation. It was what Klee spent the last years of his life fighting against.

"The deadly trucks from the #EnergyFuels #PinyonPlain uranium mine in the #GrandCanyon will pass through the #Havasupai's homeland, and then past the homes of #Paiute, #Dine' and #Hopi in Arizona before reaching the dumping ground: The Energy Fuels #UraniumMill in the #WhiteMesaUte Community in Southern #Utah.

"Klee is being honored with a #NuclearFreeFutures Award in New York in March.

"Nuclear Free Futures said, in announcing the award, 'Klee Benally was a Navajo activist and musician and member of the Navajo #Tódichiinii Clan and the #Nakai #Diné Clan. In addition to a
musical career with his siblings in the band #Blackfire,

"'Klee was a passionate campaigner and filmmaker exposing the #colonialist legacy of uranium mines and working for the cleanup of the more than 500 abandoned uranium mines that continue to contaminate the Navajo Nation. A month before his death on December 30, 2023, Klee published his book, '#NoSpiritualSurrender: #IndigenousAnarchy in Defense of the Sacred.'

"The award will be accepted by his mother Berta Benally.

"Klee, co-founder of #HaulNo!, warned of the danger to the water and rivers from the uranium mining in the Grand Canyon, and the planned deadly transport of radioactive ore, before he passed in
December 2023: 'There is possible radioactive contamination to land, water, and air from the #CanyonMine, White
Mesa Mill, and transport of uranium would impact northern Arizona, southeast Utah, the #ColoradoRiver, #MoenkopiWash, the #SanJuanRiver, and the lands and cultural resources of the #Havasupai, Hopi, Navajo, Ute, and Paiute peoples.'"

#Nazi #Trump and #whitesupremacist #colonialist #Elon #Musk join forces to slander South Africa's land reform.

They call it "racist ownership land policy" when in fact it has been part of the anti-#apartheid policy that tries to make land ownership more equal among Native South Africans and white colonialists. The latter captured more than 3/4 of the land in South Africa during the colonial period perpetuating the poverty of Native South Africans.

Spray-Tan Stalin’s #Gaza plan is repulsive, #colonialist bullshit.

Also: This is what H*mas has wrought, further disaster for #Gaza residents. #Islamofascist #terrorists aren’t just a threat to the west: they bring endless destruction upon those for whom they claim to be fighting.

It seems the #Ruto #colonialist #government has no idea, how #Kenya functions and what keeps normal people fed.
Or, they do, but don't give an eggplant, cos they are willing servants of big #corporate masters.

Geopolitics of Anti-Slavery in the Indian Ocean
The #United #Kingdom's fight against the slave trade in the #Indian Ocean, particularly in #Zanzibar, is seen through the prism of geopolitical relations and the #British crown's colonial ambitions.
At a time when debates on humanitarian intervention have resurfaced in the wake of current conflicts, it is worth looking at the history of this concept and its place in international law. Far from being born out of the Second World #War or even the Cold War, the idea of intervening in a country's internal affairs in the name of human rights actually originated with the British fight against the slave #trade and slavery in the 19th century.
This #book, the result of a thesis by Raphaël Cheriau, an associate member of the Richard Roland Mousnier Centre and the Centre for War Studies in Dublin, seeks to historicise the notion of humanitarian intervention. Drawing in particular on British and #French diplomatic archives, it offers a re-reading of the fight against the slave trade in the Zanzibar archipelago, goes back to the sources of international law and its contradictions, and then discusses the idea that this repression, carried out by the Royal Navy, may in fact have had #colonialist aims.
