  8. How cultural institutions subtly silence and exclude writers, in the guise of concern or responsibility, to censor and “reshape[s] what other writers feel able to say, and what audiences are permitted to hear”.

  10. White Fragility erschwert Gespräche über Rassismus: Statt Austausch entstehen Abwehr, Relativierung und Unsicherheit. So bleibt struktureller Rassismus unsichtbar. Warum das passiert und wie sich diese Dynamiken durchbrechen lassen.

    A Sister Gaby immediately calls out a white woman Liz when she repeats what Gaby expressed in Ebonics.

    Liz immediately stops without white fragility.

  16. I've been watching another Karen show, All Her Fault, which has a theme of the unfair burden of the (white) mom having to always be "amazing".

    Pluribus utterly destroys that concept, excellently, giving us a female character who's anything but "amazing", and the whites are so much, "no, not like that. she makes us seem bad".

    We need more unlikable female characters because women are just as shitty as men.

  19. CW: Productivity, innovation, discipline 🧶

    To meet this artificial demand, the plantation system laid the foundations for the future capitalist organisation of labour and production. The sugar industry at the time was a ‘synthesis of the field and the factory’, a veritable “agribusiness” that was ‘unlike anything known in Europe at the time’. Sugar cane juice had to be processed quickly after harvesting to produce sugar crystals and molasses, which, when distilled, produced rum, a product that would soon become popular on European markets as well.

    Plantation farming was therefore an integrated system that required major innovations for the time in order to organise and improve production. The accounting system put in place made it possible to calculate yields more accurately and, as a result, to cut back on the ‘needs’ of slaves in terms of food, housing and clothing in order to extract as much value as possible.

  21. "The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."

    "Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."

    This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."

  23. "Freedom can be granted, but it remains a “legal fiction”. […] Rights cannot be bestowed upon those constructed as Slaves, non-Humans, or property, especially when such a status is the contingent basis of the worldview through which rights are given their coherence."

  25. "Palestinians despise the courts. We hate the sight of a judge, knowing all too well that they are no different from the interrogator. We loathe the law and all it stands for in our context—a tool for oppression cloaked in legality. Even the lawyers, perhaps universally disliked, evoke our mistrust. But for us, the courts represent more than frustration; they are the place where our oppressive conditions are translated into legal language, where the weight of colonial domination is formalized with a veneer of legitimacy."

  27. Global South feminists are reclaiming refugee discourse this 7th July.

    Recently, 49 white South Africans claimed “refugee” status in the United States – a move that dangerously conflates white settler discomfort with real exile.

  28. We can’t strip O’Leary of his citizenship, but can we at least strongly suggest he never return to Canada or be near a Canadian flag again?

    What a corrupt toad. No one with a shred of morality respects this guy.

    “Even CNN’s token Republican Scott Jennings sat back and laughed when the Canadian-born businessman went into full meltdown on Tuesday’s NewsNight.”
