“Is there an honorable non-violent means towards mourning and remembering who and what we loved?”

For #911Anniversary, I share this from poet June Jordan’s a keynote at Barnard in November 2001 about the attacks.
Keynote: Some of us did not die.

In examining how those who survived can best honour those killed, Jordan quotes Holocaust survivor Elly Gross: “I guess it was my destiny to live...To live means you owe something big to those whose lives are taken away from them” #911Anniversary
June Jordan urges resisting a “rally Around Caesar”and instead “rally around an emergency/militant reconstruction of a secular democracy consecrated to the equality of each and every living one of us.” #911Anniversary

Sahar, an #Iranian football fan who set herself on fire, has died. She set herself on fire after her trial, for attempting to enter a football stadium disguised as a man, was postponed. #Iran regularly stops women from entering stadiums. bbc.com/news/world-mid… h/t @lacunalingua
Sahar - not her real name - became known as blue girl" - a reference to the colours of her favourite team, Esteqlal of Tehran. She was arrested in March when she tried to enter a football stadium.
Football's governing body Fifa set a deadline of August 31 for #Iran to allow women into stadiums - something the country has not kept.

While the sporting ban is not written into law, it is "ruthlessly enforced says @hrw Human Rights Watch.

Non mais alors laaaaaa ce texte d'introduction 🤣🤣🤣 "Elles sont militantes, se disent journalistes et sèment une forme de terreur dans la vie médiatique et politique. Enquête sur le féminisme français contemporain, coalition des aigreurs."
So let me post this here while I'm at it... From @monaeltahawy upcoming book THE SEVEN NECESSARY SINS FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS @BeaconPressBks - from the chapter 1 on #Anger ⤵️
"It is definitely an indication of just how much patriarchy fears the power of anger in girls. And that is exactly what I want us to teach girls: that their anger terrifies patriarchy. In that case, let it be terrified." —@monaeltahawy (#TheSevenNecessarySinsforWomenandGirls)

Today we celebrate the International Women's Day. Women from the continent are hardly given the respect and honour they deserve. We will celebrate women across the continent and what they've done and how they have influenced the world around them.
Thread!!!
1. Egyptian author & feminist @monaeltahawy is a booming voice on the continent. Her declaration of faith is "Fuck the Patriarchy." She started conversations around sexual harassment in mosques and her new book The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls will be out this year.
2. For more than 10 years @Doyin_Ogunye has been at the helm of keeping the beaches of Lagos clean. She's rescued sea turtles that were about to be sold & killed & she's created a space for Nigerian children to participate in cleaning the beaches of Lagos.

Frank Morrison’s illustrations are a whole mood! I’ve admired his work for *years*! I’m still over the moon... He captures 1984 Harlem perfectly! And check out my girl’s hot-combed pigtails w/ her red bobos.

Recommendations time! Here are some graphic novels I suggest for younger readers (7+, but please evaluate each reader individually).

I tried to focus on realistic stories and characters, even when the settings tip toward the fantastical.
Baby-sitters Club Graphix by @robochai
Gale has done an astonishingly good job picking up where I left off:

For Better or For Worse by @fborfw
My biggest influence! Here's a good volume to begin with:

Awkward, Brave, and Crush by @svetlania
Berrybrook Middle School series. Inclusive & amazing:

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

Wow. I'm blown away by the response! I want to echo the point that has been made about how long somebody has played being irrelevant, whether its 20 years, 10 years, or 5 months. I've played with many women and girls over the years and have loved having them at my table!
#playon
I really don't understand the push back. I don't understand the comments I see about girls not being "real nerds" or only playing bc their boyfriend plays or they want cosplay likes or whatever. It's all nonsense. Is it so hard to believe that girls play because they WANT to? smh
