Solitary confinement is torture. Don’t forget it.

“Every day, in prisons and jails across the United States, some 80,000 people are held in solitary confinement. A new documentary by @james.burns and @shallknow recreates the experiences of three individuals who spent a combined nine years in isolation, using first-person narration, live-action reënactment sequences, and stop-motion animation to explore the psychological trauma that survivors endure. The short film is not just about the cruelty experienced by its subjects but about the reality that this country creates “safe spaces for pain and punishment and torture to happen,” as one of the narrators puts it—“and we pay for it.” Watch it in full at the link in our bio.”
London and then home. People remarked at how light I packed because they didn’t know I left 75% of my shit in London (with very generous friends) while traveling around with a backpack and a tote bag or two. I ended up realizing I didn’t need to bring that other 75% on the trip. Learningggg London, Unιted Kingdom

“I’m thrilled to finally share data with the world that proves what Muslims have long known to be true, and even more thrilled to provide the solutions and accountability to change it.
With the #Emmys around the corner, now is the perfect time to examine whose stories get told on-screen.
Today @inclusionists released important new research on Muslims on TV. “Erased or Extremists” examines 200 top-rated series in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, capturing how Muslims are depicted on the small screen.
Their findings show that only 1.1% of speaking characters were Muslim, despite the fact that Muslims make up nearly 25% of the world’s population. Researchers also found that TV depictions of Muslims were often violent, a harmful stereotype that Muslim storytellers worldwide are working to debunk.

“We Will Not Cancel Us: And Other Dreams of Transformative Justice” by @adriennemareebrown
Today is the birthday of my dear friend, the magical, powerful, and world-shifting adrienne maree brown. Happy birthday, wonderful! 🙂
I have been wanting to post this book for quite a while. It is such a beautiful and liberating spell, a necessary antidote to the culture of cancel that has burrowed too deeply into our movements for justice. Given the complexity of the topic, there is not much that I can say here to add to what you will read in the pictures of the pages of the book above and hopefully, the book itself.
The only thing to say is that the phrase “cancel culture” has so many different meanings depending on who is using it. No one as far as I know would self-identify as a proponent of cancel culture (“I support cancel culture!”). The right like FOX news uses the phrase “cancel culture” to mean anything that is critical of actions rooted in systems of oppression. Meaning that if someone is criticized for doing something sexist, it is dismissed as “cancel culture” rather than a legitimate critique. Certainly liberals do this at times as well.
I am concerned with how “cancel culture” is undermining liberation movements and keeping us from building the broad base coalition that is necessary to recreate this entire system in the name of justice and equity. We must continue to find and develop ways of holding each other as we continue to grow and learn.

“Near-total bans on abortion took effect in Idaho, Tennessee and Texas on Thursday, bringing the total number of states where abortion is banned to 12. Two others ban abortion at about six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.
Judges in several other states have temporarily blocked similar laws from being enforced while court challenges against them proceed. A near-total ban on abortion in Indiana is not set to take effect until Sept. 15.
The New York Times is tracking abortion laws in each state since the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade, which ended the constitutional right to an abortion. Follow updates at the link in our bio.”

“Don’t get it twisted: this is still a win because just a year ago Biden was saying he wouldn’t forgive a dime. AND watch how these elected officials throw us crumbs expecting a standing ovation in exchange.
✊🏽 Cancel predatory student loan interest rates both retroactively and for the future.
✊🏽 Forgive ALL student loan debt.
✊🏽 Invest in free public and community college educations so that we don’t have to do this again every few years as new students take on new debt.
Before you call these demands “pie-in-the-sky,” ask yourself when you became so accustomed to settling for the bare minimum.
I believe that we will win.”
