A very valuable conversation between @ayoub and Amos Goldberg.

'In this episode, the second part of their conversation, they get into the crisis within Holocaust and Genocide Studies since the start of the Gaza genocide.

In the last segment, they spoke about “The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History”, which Goldberg co-edited, and argue for the necessity of new horizons in our imaginaries."

Hope is a discipline that must be cultivated.

In 2021 #MariameKaba made a list of 9 solidarity commitments for people who want to be part of supporting incarcerated people, one of which was to write at least six letters to an incarcerated person that year.

I'm really glad I did this and am looking forward to another year writing to three regular penpals.

Sharing Kaba's list for anyone interested in becoming a penpal or other solidarity actions in 2023.

@abolitionbb Thanks for the disclosure.

Curious to hear your favorite takeaways from #MariameKaba #AngelaDavis and #RuthWilsonGilmore

I'll have to read more about #Balagoon

I often think of Kaba's assertion that #HopeIsADiscipline when I get overwhelmed from doing too much #doomscrolling

Kaba posted the following questions on another platform and it's been a really helpful approach toward understanding sociopolitical issues and holding myself accountable for the ways I show up in the movement space

Repost from #MariameKaba

Questions I ask myself when outraged about injustice:
1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself?
2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?
3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them?
4. How can I be constructive?
