Sth Korea has been through some horrific brutality. Makes the defeat of the recent presidential coup attempt all the sweeter knowing they honour the legacy of their hard won democracy 💜

Khaled Nabhan’s death & a tweet by Omar_Gaza making me think again about how Muslim-ish men are read as terrorists. It’s simultaneously true that dominant/hegemonic masculinity should always be mistrusted, including by men; & that brown folks who are also men are not slaughterhouse animals.

Foxes are incredible creatures—playful, intelligent, and vital to our ecosystems. They deserve to thrive in the wild, free from fear and cruelty. 🦊 Killing them for sport is barbaric and senseless. Let’s protect their joy and beauty.
