Fuck the patriarchy at @akefestival in #Lagos #AkeFest
The #FeministGiant World Tour has ensured I end every event by asking the audience to stand and to yell FUCK THE PATRIARCHY at the end of my event. Thank you to all who have! ❤️✊🏽💜

Speaking at @Abantu_ in South Africa was last leg in 2019 of #FeministGiant World Tour. It was a privilege & thrill to start it in #Sarajevo with #Bosnia’s first Pride and end it in #Soweto with #AbantuBookFest. Revolution in Sarajevo to revolution in Soweto. It’s been an honour!
Along the way,speaking at Pitchwise in #Sarajevo, @strandbookstore in #NYC, @RMWAdam in #Amsterdam, @McrLitFest in #Manchester, @akefestival in #Lagos, @wcfbook in #Chicago, also in #Brooklyn, #Ottawa, #Sydney, #Melbourne & turning #Australia upside down via TV. It’s been a ride!
So many incredible audiences & new friends along the way. Many thanks to all who came to hear me speak. Many thanks for the love and the gifts. So many powerful experiences. I’ve returned home full. Time now to reflect and then write about these three months. #FeministGiant

Update on hysterical white #Australian men: I was on Q&A on Nov 4. I asked “How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping women?” The episode remains censored and the kittens remain hysterical
“When I talk about imaginary violence against men, everyone’s like, 'Oh, my God! Mona wants us to kill men,' and I’m just asking you to imagine a scenario that is the daily reality for women everywhere." #QandA
And when I ask on #Australia TV “How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping us?” - an imaginary scenario of violence - the network censors & investigates the show, a minister issued a statement, and apparently there’ll be a parliamentary inquiry

TwitterLand! I have landed! And because I am on my US # again I was able to hear a voicemail from my OBGYN telling me that my biopsy is negative which is a big relief because I have been waiting for that result since before Thanksgiving.
It was a fucking painful biopsy, my god.
One of the physicians’ assistants who I love and have known for years through the clinic: “I said you’re a tough one. They broke your arms. I remember.”
Me: It was fucking painful, Tanya!”
Awaiting a biopsy result sharpens everything. It’s a reminder of Audre Lorde’s essay reminding us “your silence will not protect you,” which I believe she wrote while awaiting a biopsy result.

▶️Why couldn't they be more creative in counter protest? Always calling people who disagree with the Sino-centrsm as 'traitors'. 😩👇😖

💡'hàn jiān' (漢奸) original meaning in Chinese, someone who betrays 'Han' dynasty.

❓Han Dynasty had long gone.

Now, every country knows there're 'thuggish students' from this 'great country,' calling people ' hàn jiān'(Han traitors'

They could've been more creative.

Counter protest in Paris, France, 2019 to #support Hong Kong rally.

Introducing my #the100dayproject inspired by @QMUNITY and my fellow #ADE @Sharon_Drummond. 100 days, 100 GIFs, 100 queer terms to educate and connect our community and allies. All GIFs created with #AppleKeynote and will be compiled on @GIPHY : giphy.com/channel/joepau… @AppleEDU
Day 1: QUEER - widely used among the community to refer to the spectrum of non-heterosexual +/ non-cisgender ppl as a shorthand. Important - this is RECLAIMED language that was/is still used as a hate term. #pride #education @QMUNITY @sogiUBC Follow along ———> #100daysofQueer
DAY 2: HETERONORMATIVE - social roles & structures that reinforce idea that heterosexuality is the presumed norm and is superior to other sexual orientations. #pride #education #sogi #humanrights @QMUNITY @sogiUBC @HRC

Follow along —-> #100daysofQueer created on #AppleKeynote

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

This #GallOfBitterness being dished out in this video by this man is not the representation of the Church, please let it be clear that this man's hatred and BIGOTRY was what's leading him. This does not represent #Christianity:

And Rev Canon from the South East with his heart of BIGOTRY still went ahead to dish out his #BIGOTRY to these hearts just because of his hatred for Buhari.
This level of #GallOfBitterness can destroy faster than HELL...#AvoidIt

The #JubrilFromSudan started from Nnamdi Kanu just a few days after Buhari returned to Nigeria against all odd & contradiction of your vision SEERS.....
Now even the educated folks & religious leaders joined him in his #GallOfBitterness
Who should we blame now?🤣🤣🤣🤣
