I would really really like to be a consultant for all the newly visible woke famous women who wanna get in on politics and social justice and help guide them through, cause a lot of us have been fighting this fight for awhile and there’s a history here.
Really love the amplification that some people’s platforms can offer but being strategic with social justice messaging is very different then traditional PR and marketing and y’all gotta respect the communities who are most impacted and the decades of labor behind these movements
So yeah... call me 🤙🏽📞 ❤️

I can't with these headlines about Bush's "masterful foreign policy". He was a warmonger whose violence created unliveable conditions in Iraq hurting civilians, like my family who didn't have access to life saving drugs or basic food. Fuck him. And fuck media's historical erasure
My grandfather, who I never had the opportunity to meet, died completely unnecessarily because he couldn't access very basic drugs due to embargos restrictions.
The first gulf war helped solidify the demonization of Muslims and Arabs in the mind's of (mostly white) Americans creating far reaching consequences. It also set the stage for Bush Jr to launch another racist war WHICH IS STILL HAPPENING IN CASE YOU FORGOT.

Woke up this morning to a dumpster fire in my mentions (I mean it's always a dumpster fire tbf). These fools are still spreading bullshit conspiracies that are so bonkers they aren't worth repeating but it's just so exhausting. I guess being a misogynist asshole never gets old.
But here's the thing -- these conspiracy theories they've been spreading about me for six years seem ludicrous on the surface but they actually work to infect the cultural understanding of me and my work on a much larger scale than their tiny little woman-hating communities.
These conspiracy theories range from: I'm embezzling money, I never finished my kickstarter project to bleaching my skin to appear more white and apparently now progressive I'm somehow responsible for the death of an activist.

I wish all these racist, sexist assed fuckers could feel even a tiny bit of shame and even an ounce of compassion. We've gotta reign in the toxicity that is dominating and destroying what would otherwise be vibrant and welcoming fandoms.
Within moments of sharing this my feed is full of men telling me how much they disliked Rose as a character. Cool, you are entitled to that opinion BUT YOU DO NOT GET TO HARASS AND ABUSE SOMEONE BECAUSE OF IT.
What're we collectively doing to end online harassment? If you want to see change then how are you building respectful norms in your communities? Are you calling out toxic behaviour? What pressure are you putting on social media companies to create safer platforms?

I have been asked to read and review a book on "Critical Dietetics" (Social Justice for dieticians), and it's literally the stupidest thing I've ever read.
You will be overjoyed to learn that Critical Dietetics has set up its own peer-reviewed academic journal that has a mission of politicizing dietetics and overcoming "nutritionism," the harmful ideology that says we should focus on nutrients in food as providing health benefits.
The establishment of a "Critical Dietetics" peer-reviewed academic journal (and conferences) without a recognition that "critical X studies = complaining bullshit" is how idea laundering happens. I'm aghast reading this.

My tweets on DHARMA – REGION, NATION AND THE WORLD will be tweeted over 4 days beginning from 13 Feb 2019 at 8.00 AM IST as the essay is long. @jsaideepak @kanimozhi
1. In my essay on 'DHARMA – REGION, NATION AND THE WORLD' the first topic is (I) MUST ONE NEGATE THE OTHER?

2. The question of human identity has exercised upon the human mind as a most potent force.
3. But the underlying issue has to this day remained inconclusive as much in the politics as in the various theories of identity.

I am about to indulge my inner Archie Bunker. Mute/unfollow now if you're sensitive.

Real social Justice means you care about my problems too.

You want to know what YOU can do to help?!

Leave me the Hell alone about yours. They're yours!
Everyone is basically a spoiled toddler.

It isn't all about you despite how the corporate Establishment that wants to buy your loyalty to their brand is marketing you to believe it is

Social Justice is a marketing gimmick! Youwill smash Capitalism to make your betters wealthy!
I don't care that some barista got didn't serve your half caffienated. almond milk and soy latte with the correct amount of cultural sensitivity or proper deference to your esteemed status as a woman in a STEM field!

Hilary #FBPE for hope not hate
@atatimelikethis
I was inspired by the marches in the US and UK. They look like the Civil Rights Movement and that reminded me. There is evil in the world but fighting one form of hate with another version of the same hate isn't the answer.

This will be a thread about hope for our country.
In the 1960s. Martin Luther King had every reason to hate. He'd been discriminated against, beaten, and segregated from society. Yet he built his civil rights movement on hope for the future. He had a dream that all people were equal.
A men who spent his entire life locked up in jail, beaten and tortured by his captors, had every reason to hate them. Yet Nelson Mandela chose a path of peace and reconciliation.

Last month I took a road trip through the south to see the work being done in the fight for equality and social justice. Didn't spend much time on my phone because I wanted to be fully in the moment.

Here’s a mini-journal of the things that went down (THREAD) --
Kickoff // Miami

Picked up the RV with my boy Mike who came for the trip...That’s the homie Buster in the window 😂

Planned a kickoff event in Miami but heard about a prison reform protest in Tallahassee & drove overnight to make it there.
Stop 1 // Tallahassee

Met w/ Dream Defenders to protest for fair treatment of incarcerated individuals. Was my first time on the front lines. Empowering feeling to be apart of! ✊🏽 Although those in charge wouldn't open a dialogue, we made our voices heard
