New essay:

#Jan25: Ten Years After Egypt's Revolution

feministgiant.com/p/jan25-ten-ye…
And what I told @GaiaCaramazza for @TheNewArabVoice
“A feminist revolution dares to imagine liberation from militarism of the State & from its echo in conservatism of the Street & the Home. A feminist revolution recognizes that the hardest revolution is the one at Home because all dictators go home” feministgiant.com/p/jan25-ten-ye… #Jan25
“A revolution is a dare to the future as much as it is a reckoning with the past.

From Tahrir Square to the whole world, from Egypt 2011 to all revolutionaries 2021, from ACAB to Defund and Abolish the Police, “you cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.” #Jan25 Tahrir Square packed with p...
Starting today and through Feb. 11 - the 10th anniversary of Hosni Mubarak’s ouster - I will be publishing a series of articles looking at #Jan25 and feminism, queerness, and faith.

Earlier this month, I wrote about how dangerous Marjorie Taylor Greene is.
Every article that comes out about her has to make you wonder when this dangerous and vile congresswoman is going to be expelled and held accountable. h/t @rerutled Tweet by Andrew Kaczynski: ...
In September 2020, Greene posted on her candidate Facebook page an image of herself holding a gun alongside images of Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib and encouraged going on the "offense against these socialists." feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a vile and dangerous woman. Her racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism is easy to find online and yet look how Elle magazine described her as late as Oct 2020. The fuckery that white women like her get away with!

A small joy these days is eyeliner. And of course my people have been wearing it since 10,000BC. I am putting all that I'm learning - including surfing eyeliner sites at 2am - into next FEMINIST GIANT essay. A detail of a painting from...

"Kohl was used by both sexes and all social classes to protect the eyes from the intense glare of the desert sun. The Egyptian word for “makeup palette” derives from their word meaning “to protect,”a reference to its defensive abilities against the harsh sunlight or the Evil Eye"

A feminist revolution dares to imagine liberation from militarism of the State & from its echo in conservatism of the Street & the Home. A feminist revolution recognizes that the hardest revolution is the one at Home because all dictators go home feministgiant.com/p/jan25-ten-ye… #Jan25
And a feminist revolution disobeys all those who insist “People are not ready,” because as revolutionaries we must recognize that if our communities are ready for us, we are too late. #Jan25

A revolution is a dare to the future as much as it is a reckoning with the past.

For the 10th anniversary of #Egypt's Revolution, I look at the dares that #Jan25 challenged us with.

feministgiant.com/p/jan25-ten-ye…
“Your imagination brought you to the streets. Your disobedience kept you there...Remember how you felt when you knew that you deserved to be free!” #Jan25
Our broken and impatient hearts are where revolution resides. Our broken and impatient hearts are where Tahrir Square still demands the fall of the regime.

We will never unsee what we saw in Egypt ten years ago. feministgiant.com/p/jan25-ten-ye… #Jan25
