Hey do you want a list of potential actions you can take TODAY that are neither voting nor protesting but still make a difference?
Cuz here you go: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I feel the need to foreground the fact that fat & queer liberation rest upon the necessity of Black liberation, as it was completely neglected from this @wearequeeraf.com piece.
Both queerness & fatness, as understood in the Eurocentric context, rely on Blackness for their foundation.

This took no time at all, the first person simply thanked me and said they'd pass on the message. The second went to voicemail. Easy peasy! The writers of KOSA have flat-out stated they'll use it to silence LGBTQ+ voices online. Stay strong, I love you!!

Susan Abulhawa I don't know how to live in this world. Israel commits a new massacre every day. Every day, I see lifeless bodies of children strewn on hospital floors that have no beds, no supplies, no medicine, and sometimes no fuel for electricity because Israel will not allow those things in, along with food and water and basic necessities. Today I saw the quiet face of a little boy. His brains and the entire back of his head were blow off. At the same time political and cultural stars pump their fists and sway to upbeat music, pledging allegiance and endless money to Israel. Palestinian fighters, doctors, and journalists are the only heroes in this moment. Palestinians who try to make through each day, doing all in their power for themselves and for those around them are heroes. It is not despair I feel. No, it would be a betrayal to feel that and I will not despair. But I am looking at the face of evil and indifference, the depth of which I had only ever rea
It is not despair I feel. No, it would be a betrayal to feel that and I will not despair. But I am looking at the face of evil and indifference, the depth of which I had only ever read about before, and it feels unbearable. I have drawn lines, and if you're on the other side, you are gone from my world, small or inconsequential as it may be. If you "two side" this, be gone. If you vote for these treacherous parties, be gone. I loathe your ignorance and cowardice.
I'm with HER!
