Thank you very much to the people who have donated. It overwhelms me that you all are so supportive and kind. But I still don’t have enough to pay my rent. So if you could reblog this I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
Here is the link to donate.
Please signal boost. I’ve been denied aid for this semester even though I qualified for need-based...

An Appeal Signed by Tamils on the Eviction of Northern Muslims 21 Years Ago
The expulsion of Muslims from the north of Sri Lanka in 1990 by the LTTE still haunts the movement for Tamil self-determination on the island and in the diaspora. I know that much of the Islamophobia I’ve encountered amongst friends and members of my family from the North is rooted in the propaganda that was...

It’s been three weeks since Attawapiskat First Nation took the extraordinary step of declaring a state of emergency. Since then, not a single federal or provincial official has even bothered to visit the community.
No aid agencies have stepped forward. No disaster management teams have offered help.
Meanwhile temperatures have dropped 20 degrees and will...

How can we translate this into some legit effort to get this video taken down and an apology issued? Make videos, flood Facebook, send letters to Florence and her label?
This is the second time she’s pulled shit like this, but this is by far the grossest black face I’ve seen in the present day. I can’t believe she thought this was OK, and that...

It is still hard for me to believe that people would defend this music video, fans or not. The number one rebuttal I’ve seen so far is, “It’s not racist! It’s ART. You just don’t understand!” On the contrary, I understand quite clearly. One of the number one rules I’ve learned in life is that if a marginalized person tells...

This is a collaborative post by Numa, Renee and I. If you are wondering what do two Brown women have in common with a White trans* woman, or what do two “first worlders” have in common with a “third worlder”, you should not be reading and/or following me at all. Really, you’ll be doing us all a favour if you just didn’t bother or in any way interact with us.

From One Survivor to Another: Just to clarify →

fromonesurvivortoanother:
Wanting to eliminate whiteness is not the same thing as saying that all white people are evil.
Whiteness is a cultural and social concept. It is the idea that certain ways of being, which are often tied into western-centrism, class, and other factors, are superior to others. It is the idea that how dark or how light your skin color is determines your...

By allowing Julian Assange to speak and lead you in chants you are setting him up as a “voice” of the movement and thus creating an alienating, unsafe space for women.
