In order to counter the current surge of anti-trans legislation, we will need to study its history.

What happens to #diasporicnarratives when AI enters the picture? If diasporic stories are already sites of friction and resistance, how does AI amplify or distort these dynamics? What kind of memory is being built when AI is involved? Whose voices are heard? Whose are overwritten?

Il 95% del bestiame ucciso, il prezzo del pane aumentato dell’11.110%.

l’88% della Striscia cancellata dalla faccia della Terra. 80 miliardi di dollari di danni, 50 milioni di tonnellate di macerie, oltre 20 anni per riacquisire una parvenza di normalità. 2 milioni di sfollati, il 91% della popolazione senza cibo.

Il bilancio di un anno e mezzo di genocidio in Palestina è di 47 mila morti accertati. Il 70% sono donne e bambini. Migliaia di cadaveri ancora sotto le macerie, intere famiglie spazzate via per sempre. 100 mila tonnellate di esplosivo scaricate sulla popolazione, [continua nei commenti]

Perfect Victims “Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new Discourse on Colonialism for the twenty-first century.” —Robin D. G. Kelley Perfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal―an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. Why must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye, forgoing both deference and condemnation. How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

Why must Palestinian prove their humanity?
