In global narratives, Africa is absent from stories of excellence, yet everywhere in crisis. Here, I develop 2 concepts: Afro-blivion (forgetting Africa exists) & Afro-tropia (reducing Africa to stereotypes) to explain this simultaneous erasure and misrepresentation. folukeafrica.com/afro-blivion...

Here’s another way climate change will kill us: the expansion of mosquitoes and the deadly diseases they carry. In Paris, the invasive Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), an aggressive, day-biting nuisance, is now everywhere. So excited to get Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika in Paris.

It doesn't have sharp teeth or claws, but the mosquito kills more people than any other animal on earth. As the climate warms, mosquito season is lasting longer, giving them more time to spread danger...

The 'panic' around Lia Thomas was about creating a target people could point at while demanding exclusion. So much of what people “know” about Lia comes from manufactured outrage and years of misinformation repeated without context. We commissioned this comic to break down the actual story. 1/2

Cartoon of Lia Thomas with purple hair, smiling and holding a trophy, making a peace sign. Background features a trans flag and text about sports inclusivity.

A swimmer in the water with text overlay: "Lia's college swimming career began in 2017. Aged 18, she joined the University of Pennsylvania men's swimming team. Like most young athletes, her performances improved with age and experience."

Swimmer's in the water with text overlay: "Her overall best US ranking in the men's competition was 11th after placing 1st and 2nd in several events, including the 200 and 500 yard freestyle between 2017 and 2019."

A swimmer looking at the water in a red swimming costume and bathing cap, with a text overlay: "In 2019 she started HRT as part of her transition. Her performances dropped dramatically. She ranked 65th in the 500 yard free and 554th in the 200 yard free. Overall her US ranking dropped to 63rd."

In short 👇

For Jess O’Thomson, trans rights lead at Good Law Project, the guidance is “incredibly dangerous and likely to cause unlawful discrimination”.

“It is abhorrent that despite widespread opposition this government has continued its attacks on trans human rights,” O’Thomson said. “The code is not only discriminatory, but utterly unworkable in practice – as so many organisations have repeatedly pointed out. The guidance gets the law wrong, and if service providers uncritically follow it, they may be acting unlawfully. Worse than that – they will be causing immense harm, and helping to strip trans people of their rights.”

Decolonizing our thinking, society and frameworks is of greater importance than physically leaving as we need to acknowledge and repair the effects of the colonizing frameworks left behind. A world seen from one viewpoint is not a just and equitable world. This essay is a good starting point.
