“I’m not a victim of racism. I am a tormentor of racists,” Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr after 3 Valencia fans were sentenced to 8 months in prison on Monday for hate crimes against him. It is the first conviction for racist insults in a soccer stadium in Spain. “This first criminal conviction in the history of Spain is not for me. It’s for all Black people. May other racists be afraid, ashamed and hide in the shadows. Otherwise, I’ll be here to collect,” Vinicius Junior. OTHERWISE, I’LL BE HERE TO COLLECT. 💜✊🏽❤️

Happy Father’s Day to my Baba, who in that first picture is holding me 18 days after I was born, and can you see the big mouth I already had?! My Baba and Mama have three children and my brother, sister, and I are so wonderfully different. I post a similar caption every Father’s Day. Today, and every day, I celebrate the ways my dad has taught my siblings and me that fatherhood means love, kindness, and a heart that is big enough to be proud of us in all our differences. Before we began to more publicly use such phrases as positive depictions of fatherhood and masculinity, my dad modeled those ways for us, showing us what a loving, gentle, nurturing and supportive man and father could be. I grew up with a love of film and endless curiosity because my dad would take me to the Saturday morning cartoons at the cinema and along the way would answer all the questions of his inquisitive little girl. I grew up learning to pay attention to the world because I grew up watching the news with my dad—so much so that when I told him I wanted to be a journalist and not a doctor like my parents, he said do it! And I grew up watching football with my dad and to love it (see the third picture where we’re watching the opening match of the men’s 2014 World Cup)—so much so that even though I support Manchester United and he and my brother and my brother’s family all support Liverpool, we still love watching matches together. And I grew up arguing and debating issues with my dad—loudly and with gusto!—in ways that encouraged me to continue to ask questions and to question authority everywhere. And for all of that, I am so grateful! Thank you for all the ways you have encouraged and nurtured my curiosity—for film and football, for this world and the importance of justice and freedom for all of us who live in it—and how, together with Mama, you have shown my siblings and me how to be loving, kind, and big-hearted people in this world. I love you, Baba! Sending love to all Baba’s who nurture curiosity 💜✊🏽❤️ #fathersday

145lbs! I’ve worked hard at my squats. And I’m so happy to have gone up to 145lbs today! I am 56 and I weigh 156lbs. And there are weeks when my squats are super challenging and I am humbled and thrilled to work hard at them. My self talk at the start of each set is crucial! Thank you @jeanafanellifitness 💜✊🏽❤️
Summer tastes of Egyptian watermelon: ready to make a mess of you with the wonder of sweetness. Another wonder that my ancestors gave the world. Yes (of course) watermelon comes from Egypt (and Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya, but I’m Egyptian, so…) And the world tasted its sweetness and created resistance, old and new.

Fun with 145lbs! It’s taken me a while to be able to say I had fun with squats! I am 56 and I weigh 156lbs. I have always found these back squats super challenging. I have learned how important self-talk is for lifting and especially for squats. And I have a whole bunch of things I say to get myself going 🏋🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️ Thank you @jeanafanellifitness
Disco Deadlifts! 200lbs 🏋🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️ I am 56 and weigh 156lbs. I’ve worked so hard at improving my deadlifts—form and bracing and pausing at the top of a full hip extension. The first time I lifted 200lbs about 5 or 6 weeks ago, I wasn’t pausing enough at the top. This time, I took my time! Highlight of my week 🏋🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️ Thank you @jeanafanellifitness ❤️✊🏽💜
