he won with a song called soldi (money), in which he addresses his difficult relationship with his absent father. and it’s a really good song. while the popular vote was leaning for another italian singer called Ultimo, the jury overturned the vote in favour of Mahmood, and this decision–despite being allowed within the rules of the music festival–is being accused of being a ‘leftist, anti-government move’ from ‘elites’ because Mahmood’s father is egyptian.

this is not about not liking the song. for some, it is, but there are so many people spewing hatred again Mahmood because his father is egyptian and he won as music festival that should be for ‘actual Italian singers only’. mind you, Mahmood is Italian. he’s said, more than once, that while his origins are important to him, he feels 100% Italian. he was born in Milan, raised in Milan and he’s said that he doesn’t even speak Arabic, and yet people online are calling him a clandestine, an illegal immigrant, and generally being really fucking nasty because his father is north african. fucking hell, our shithead fascist minister of interiors matteo salvini complained about his victory. our deputy prime minister luigi di main ‘jokingly’ posted on facebook that maybe they should change the festival’s rules to only allow for the popular vote. this government hates whoever speaks in favour of migrants, LGBTQ people, whoever displays anything other than a liking for right wing movements.

i want you to care because i am not exaggerating that this seemingly minor incident is an example of the terrible increase in racism and xenophobia in italy, which ultimately led to our current government. months ago, the independent wrote an article titled before our eyes, italy is becoming a fascist state

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?
