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 for a real local champion, for real change. Vote Faiza Shaheen, Independent, 4 July. faizashaheen.co.uk/why-you-should… 🎥 @HARK_Films

🌟 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... leila-billing.medium.com/empathy-is-not…

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.’

@KGuilaine I enjoyed your training and your Q and A to our questions! Thank you so much for your time with us this week

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 lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…

@Lusukalanga I'm sorry about that!! I would change a few things in this article if I wrote it again today. Maybe I will write a follow up one day!

Remembering this article from @leilabilling on privilege. I keep coming back to it because in recent times, it has been very much in our faces!

When I think about what solidarity can look like, I am reminded of what Vron Ware said: 💡 "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 businessinsider.com/anna-wintour-k…

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'' bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

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

Brilliant piece on ‘nice white people’ and the genocide in Gaza. ‘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’ here4thekids.substack.com/p/nice-and-whi…

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 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-679296…

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

@HaeinShim I wondered if you might be able to follow me back so I can DM you? I seeking to interview S.Korean feminists for a paid project I am working on and hoping you can help/participate?
