Nah I’m acc crying 😭

👀

Absolutely love this reel from Channel 4 featuring some of our legendary activist contributors and a few other faces you may know from the telly.

Now the series has finished, what does #Defiance mean to you?

Israel is bombing food warehouses to exacerbate the famine it is enforcing in Gaza. THAT is Israel's 'right to self-defense' as per USA, UK, Germany, Australia etc

Apparently 'gender critical' women are complaining Graham Linehan is unfairly getting all the credit for them having won.

Wait till they realise we used to have the death penalty for being gay and people were still gay.

White people are coming unglued as they realize their hegemonic power is beginning to unravel.

Black & brown folks: be deeply aware of all the white folks around you as they violently cling to their quickly diminishing power.

Shit’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.

What an iconic moment - the precedent set for the idea that self defence is no offence - because of the #Bradford12 #Defiance @channel4

James Baldwin.

His wisdom lives on if only we’d listen.

‘The world changes according to the way people see it…’

We also need to see ourselves in order to change the world.

How to self decolonise & remove self from patriarchical & supremacist systems & mind neural pathways.

More data falsification from Cass

Having steadily worked through the report yesterday I became ever more dismayed. Whilst it’s more nuanced than the anti-trans activists would have you think, it is a methodologically flawed report and I think gets the balance wrong. It is ultimately a backwards step.

Statement by Trans Actual on the epic fail that is the Cass Review. This review seems to have fully united trans people in opposition to it;

No Hollywood union, except animation, has called for a ceasefire. But mark my words 10 years from now they will make movies about the genocide and campaign for an Oscar

I'd just like to make it clear I will never forgive the following:

Margaret Thatcher obvs
Thomas Hardy having been forced to read far from the Madding crowd at school.
Whoever discontinued Caramac.
A woman who was rude in Tesco.

Apologies will NOT be accepted.

The thing to remember about Orenthal James Simpson is that he consciously crafted himself in opposition to the conscious Black athlete; he was the anti-Jim Brown, the anti-Ali.

'I'm not Black, I'm OJ.'

I keep saying, more needs to be done & many more need to do their work. When I received racism during my book tour after an article published in the Guardian, my former agent (white) rung me to tell me about what people were emailing her about me rather than protect me from it.

the black photographers i know manage to do cool toned low light looks where black ppl do not look like that. they know their craft. annie does too. shes lazy and stuck in her ways when it comes to darker ppl.

This!! 💯 #CassReview
