Our economies collapse without the labour of frontline workers who provide care including the Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA workers) in India, migrant domestic workers in Lebanon, and those providing essential care to communities living with HIV across Eastern Africa.

What's valued as 'skilled' for workers who provide care under capitalism is the ability to perform under exploitative conditions: administering care as quickly as possible and managing emotions to meet job requirements.

Today on hashtag#LabourDay, we challenge the harmful and binary categorization of labour: ‘skilled’ / ‘unskilled’. 
The capitalist society we live under declares workers who provide care as ‘low-paid’ and ‘unskilled’ labour, which is deeply patriarchal and violent.

Lemme say this. Angela Davis called Palestine the litmus test. It is, & it long has been because the occupation of it is 75 years old. A lot of these people who were calling themselves activists for this & that or progressive or what have you, even actual organizers, utterly failed this litmus test.

People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them

That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it.

This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

milk teas, friendship and collective resistance Memee & I had a long conversation about their liberation journey beginning at only 16 years old. The convo was fluid directed by no one like the leaderless Milk Tea Alliance in SEA they're a part of.

Excellent interview with the amazing Memee of #MilkTeaAlliance Thailand from @fatima-qureshi.bsky.social (sorry if wrong tag)

Can't imagine why Trump wants to fire all the climate scientists and ban any mentions of climate change

Authentic masculinity lies in vulnerability, compassion, and respect for others. And, I'm fortunate to know many men who embody these qualities. 💓

"Decolonisation is a project for the restoration of pre-colonial indigenous ways. It will not be achieved in the colonial workplaces alone (masters tools).

It will be found in the communities that forge ahead with restoring global indigenous ways and healing land disconnection."
