i read theory and i critically engage with literature bc i owe it to my community (the Black Diaspora, the Caribbean, islanders) to be a better person in order to work towards our liberation. it is out of love for my peoples that i do this

it’s also disingenuous to read theory (shallowly) then lord that knowledge over other people. theory and the analysis of it should not be reduced to dunks or social/cultural capital. why would you read it only to feel superior to people who may not even have access to it?

why is your engagement with theory so shallow that you can only name people who have harmful politics? decolonizing your tbr and theory should not mean engaging with works by ppl deeply entrenched in the structures and institutions that oppress and exploit us

why do you read theory? why do you “critically” engage with literature? is it just to dunk on people who may not have the resources you do? why are you not approaching theory and lit as a form of grappling and growth with your own prejudices and ideologies?

this sc succinctly demonstrates the issues with how theory and literature are currently approached. what is it you seek to gain by namedropping theorists and people you perceive to be radical while doing nothing to engage with and help community

Ocho años hoy de María. Pero lo peor no fue el 20 de septiembre de 2017. Lo peor fue el infierno de los meses siguientes sin luz. Los meses más terribles de todas nuestras vidas.

A reminder that the brutal occupation of #WestPapua and the ongoing persecution of Indigenous Papuans is a horror that is largely undocumented & invisibilised. Like so much black suffering, furthest away in proximity to Whiteness, their revolution has NOT been televised.

gracias a @astrophobia.bsky.social por ayudarme pq esto estaba bien feíto cuando lo empeze

un cartel digital con los colores de la bandera de Puerto Rico. la parte superior tiene tres rayas rojas que parecen sangre, mientras la parte de abajo es todo azul, con una palma a cada lado de un barco negro. hay una estrella blanca en el centro, y el texto dice "tiburón, que buscas en la orilla"

fuera el imperialismo yanqui!

Ya empezaron los yanquis a revivir las bases militares en Puerto Rico. Esto es una total asquerosidad, no queremos ser parte de tus juegos geopolíticos de invasión e intervención. No queremos más bombas, más soldados, más guerras sangrientas e innecesarias.

Please help Aseel survive this genocide and thrive in a world where she can be free

literal lo que siempre recuerdo es despertarme, y a los 10-15 segundos el aire se apago, y el silencio puro donde no se oia ni un coqui ni un grillo ni un gato o perro antes de que empezara a temblar…

recien me doy cuenta que no puedo poner mi aire en eco mode pq me da terror cada vez que se apaga y eso es por lo del temblor de reyes

I love conversations about when "America turned authoritarian" because you can tell none of the people involved know or speak to any Indigenous people on the continent, any Kānaka or CHamoru, any Puerto Ricans, or any Virgin Islanders. our subjugation at the hands of America never counts

supuestamente quien organizo el rally en los yunaited pidio que solamente se usara la bandera gringa y no “foreign flags” pq era una marcha patriotica or guatever
