Fran Winant, Dog with Secret Language (1975)
In drawings and paintings, like Dog with Secret Language, Cindy [Winant’s dog] is surrounded and literally protected by the secret language that Winant devised as a child for writing “journals and poems full of inexpressible loving thoughts about persons of the ‘wrong’ gender.”
Harmony Hammond, Lesbian Art in America (New York: Rizzoli, 2000), 43.

It is interesting how Zionists are utterly concerned with weaponizing Antisemitism as a smokescreen for the brutal genocidal state, while simultaneously accusing anyone remotely pro-Palestinian of being Hamas supporters. But no matter what they try to guilt you into, no matter how much they screech about Oct 7, the founding fathers of the Settler state were all gloating in conquering Palestine and more than willing to enact the ethnic cleansing of Arabs in Palestine. This policy remains. You don't need to listen to some lib zionists and their apologist talking points when there is a plethora of journals and texts by the founding fathers boasting about their racist colonial aspirations.
Mixed signals.

Norman Gary Finkelstein, for those asking.
Fruit bat noises, apparently. If you care
Oh my god. I care. I care SO much.
reblog for noises
If you don't think you care, trust me on this: YOU DO CARE.
Also, for those who wonder why I call bats "sky puppies", these guys are why. <3
The Palestinian (1977)
“This system of severity of exploitation of poor people of color at the bottom of global supply chains goes back centuries. Few people sitting for breakfast in England in the 1700s knew that their tea was sweetened by sugar harvested under brutal conditions by African slaves toiling in the West Indies. The slaves remained far removed from the British breakfast table until a band of abolitionists placed the true picture of slavery directly in front of the English people. Stakeholders fought to maintain the system. They told the British public not to trust what they were told. They espoused the great humanity of the slave trade—Africans were not suffering, they were being “saved” from the savagery of the dark continent. They argued that Africans worked in pleasing conditions on the islands. When those arguments failed, the slavers claimed they made changes that remedied the offenses taking place on the plantations. After all, who was going to go all the way to the West Indies and prove otherwise, and even if they did, who would believe them?
The truth, however, was this—but for the demand for sugar and the immense profits accrued through the sale of it, the entire slavery-for-sugar economy would not have existed. Furthermore, the inevitable outcome of stripping humans of their dignity, security, wages, and freedom can only be a system that results in the complete dehumanization of the people exploited at the bottom of the chain.
Today’s tech barons will tell you a similar tale about cobalt. They will tell you that they uphold international human rights norms and that their particular supply chains are clean. They will also assure you that conditions are not as bad as they seem and that they are bringing commerce, wages, education, and development to the poorest people of Africa (“saving” them). They will also assure you that they have implemented changes to remedy the problems on the ground, at least at the mines from which they say they buy cobalt. After all, who is going to go all the way to the Congo and prove otherwise, and even if they did, who would believe them?
The truth, however, is this—but for their demand for cobalt and the immense profits they accrue through the sale of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and electric vehicles, the entire blood-for-cobalt economy would not exist. Furthermore, the inevitable outcome of a lawless scramble for cobalt in an impoverished and war-torn country can only be the complete dehumanization of the people exploited at the bottom of the chain.
So much time has passed; so little has changed.”

civility
they’ll evict you in your own language, they’ll gender you correctly as they cage you, they’ll look resigned as they infiltrate and bomb you, will say it’s for your own good, for the sake of your own freedom. liberalism is a polite knife.

It seems people forget that Gaza is under siege, not just since October 2023 but actually since 2007. I feel like people talk about this acceleration of genocide as if the injured can get airlifted or that people can flee to nearby countries. Gaza has been under a brutal Israeli siege for over 17 years where even things like jam and chocolate were not allowed into the strip. Gaza currently continues to be under the same Israeli siege where not even pain medication or crutches can get in. Israel has always controlled the inflow and outflow of everything, including how much water Gaza receives. This is why Israel was able to completely shut off the water supply of over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, to the point where fires caused by Israeli bombing can't be put out simply because there is no water to do so.
Just keep this in mind as you navigate conversations about Gaza; the fact that what is happening now is an acceleration of what has been happening for years and years and by no means an isolated event.
August 21, 2024 - Via BDS Movement:
WE DIDI IT! In a major BDS win for human rights activists against financial institutions complicit in Israel’s 76-year-old regime of settler colonialism, apartheid and now genocide, French multinational insurer AXA was forced to sell its investments in all major Israeli banks. These banks are considered the backbone of Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise on occupied Palestinian stolen lands. The global “Stop AXA Assistance to Israeli Apartheid” campaign targeted AXA’s investment in Israeli banks and Elbit Systems for their complicity in Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, which constitute war crimes under international law, and for other grave violations of Palestinian human rights. The company faced divestment pressure, reputational damage and a consumer boycott campaign. [...] AXA is not off the hook, though. Amidst Israel’s live streamed genocide in Gaza against 2.3 million Palestinians, the coalition will continue to monitor AXA’s investments to make sure it is not complicit in the ongoing genocide. Watch this space!
by “colonial tax” i think they mean the CFA franc, the colonial french currency used by 14 african nations. france no longer even uses the french franc yet controls the economies of 14 sovereign nations. one of the obligations of the CFA franc agreements is that the countries must “keep 50 percent of their foreign exchange reserves in an operations account held at the French Treasury.” this form of neocolonialism has has had the effect of
“Limited intra-regional trade, especially in Central Africa.
High dependence on producing and exporting a limited number of primary commodities.
A narrow industrial base.
A high vulnerability to external shocks.”
you can read more about it in those things as well as this- The CFA Franc: French Monetary Imperialism in Africa, just to show how hypocritical macrons statement is
Hadal: 'love language' robe with an Arabic love poem by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish embroidered onto the sleeve.
The poem reads:
قالوا: تموت بها حبـاًً، فقلـت لهـم. ألا اذكروها علـى قبـري فتحيينـي
English translation: They asked "Do you love her to death?" | said "Speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life."

No joke, go read The Open Veins of Latin America before even trying to send me a political ask. Mandatory reading.
It's a cliché that every Latin American leftist has read it and quotes it, but that's because it's written in such a clear language with undeniable strenght on its facts. It presents the history of Latin America solidly just in the first few pages, and it only gets more engrossing the more it goes on. While it is now a bit outdated in the sense that it was first published in 1971, the historical, social and political issues presented are -in an unfortunate way- still current. It is a relatively short book, passionate and in a clear, poetic language.
Sometimes it's good to return to the basics, and this is THE basic book if you want to understand the effects of imperialism in Latin America, and our struggle for freedom and identity.
Instead of losing your time with half baked twitteroid takes, go read it. Here you go, for free, in Spanish, Portuguese and English:
