Israel has assassinated almost 270 Palestinian journalists. This is aimed at suppressing coverage of its livestreamed genocide and creating a media blackout ahead of its plan to commit further atrocities. Take action now. Read more: loom.ly/A8L7S08

Submission to the colonial logic that vilifies the violence of the oppressed & turns a blind eye to the oppressor’s violence became the price of admission. The above thought by Mohammed El-Kurd is an indictment of our (academics) refusal to confront our complicity in upholding colonial difference.

I hate the indifferent. I believe that living means taking sides. Those who really live cannot help being a citizen and a partisan. Indifference and apathy are parasitism, perversion, not life. That is why I hate the indifferent. -- Antonio Gramsci (born 22.01.1891)

The fact that BlueSky has prioritized building for Federation over building for safety is a reminder that this is still a platform where a few people are making the choices for us and people shouldn’t forget that. Even if they’re a B Corp!

In my estimation, BlueSky is far less safe for users than Twitter was before Apartheid Clyde took over. BSky is now the better choice, but less safe than I would like it to be. There is no option for going private, for example.

You’re not getting news and images from Sudan because when both the RSF and the Army catch people filming they kill them on sight. Sudan is also a vast territory and this cruel war is everywhere. Some people are smuggling out phone footage intermittently but it is hard.
