Some people still don’t know that I’m standing to be the Independent MP for our community. Please spread the word and share this video to let them know there is a real alternative in Chingford and Woodford Green. We don’t have to accept the broken political system. We can vote

🌟 Empathy is a much-lauded leadership skill. But does it always deliver what it promises? Can feminists concerned with radical change imagine beyond the versions of empathy that are being sold to us? Yes we can! I wrote about it...

A couple of days ago it was Toni Morrison’s birthday. So I read Sula in her honour. This is the kind of book I wake up thinking about and going to bed hoping I’ll dream about. Here’s Sula being asked about marriage: 'I don’t want to make somebody else. I want to make myself.’

Thank you @conorgearty for this really powerful piece on how various forms of denial have been mobilised to justify the actions of the Israeli state. #CeasefireNOW

When I think about what solidarity can look like, I am reminded of what Vron Ware said: šŸ’” "There's a difference between the handwringing produced by guilt, and the handholding that emerges from solidarity" Join us on 15 February. Registration link in comments #CeasefireNOW

There are some dismal stories of bad firing - remember that dude from P&O Ferries who sacked 800 people on a zoom call? - but Anna Wintour not bothering to take off her sunglasss while firing @pitchfork staff is… a look! #leadership

Kudos to @briticoyemo and Charlie Northcott for some brilliant reporting on the abuse and coercion of TB Joshua's cult in Nigeria in this podcast. This deserved international coverage - but as one interviewee said "It happened in Africa so no-one cares''

Since Oct 7th 2023, at least 300 healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza according to the UN. This is more than the *total* number of health worker deaths recorded across *all* countries in conflict last year, & in any single year since 2016. Don’t look away. #ceasefirenow

According to MSF’s surgeon in Nasser hospital, last night Israeli forces heavily bombed the area close to the hospital with no prior evacuation order, causing patients and many of the thousands of displaced civilians, who had sought refuge in Nasser, to flee in a panic.

Brilliant piece on ā€˜nice white people’ and the genocide in Gaza. ā€˜You want to wait until western institutions decree that it was in fact a genocide before you say anything. Your political morality moves at the glacial pace of your own comfort’ https://t.co/hCpHoqzK5H

I’ve been waiting *years* for journalists/commentators to do any intersectional analysis of the Post Office scandal - this has been too little, too late #PostOfficeScandal

Thinking a lot about the spaces I don’t engage in and remembering what bell hooks says about the importance of boundary-crossing and reaching the audiences you really need to. I mean, this woman was even prepared to go on the Ricki Lake show! #bellhooks #feminism

Despite the INGO sector’s fascination with intersectional feminist leadership and decolonisation, its responses to the Gaza crisis remain rooted in a colonial project. To see feminist solidarity in action, many of us look elsewhere… šŸ‘‡šŸ¾ https://t.co/mGQuKyq3HQ

šŸ‡°šŸ‡· šŸ‡°šŸ‡· Does anyone here have any connections to feminist activists/feminist leaders who are part of women's rights movements in South Korea? In particular I'm looking to speak to people who have been part of #MeToo activism. Feminists will of course be paid for their time!šŸ‡°šŸ‡·

I needed to feel something other than heaviness and Claudette Johnson’s exhibition @TheCourtauld blew me away. Here she is, reclaiming the Black female body, telling those who would deny her: ā€˜I have my own business in this skin’. If you are in London this is a must see.

bell hooks told us ā€˜poetry is a place of transcendence’. For me, it’s also a way of knowing unparallel to any other. I have learned so much from South African poet Koleka Putuma - including from this witty, provocative poem #poetrylovers

In some cultural contexts, men can intentionally incorporate vulnerable behaviours and be lauded for it in a way that minoritised groups cannot. This shores up, rather than erodes patriarchal power in my view END/
