Quote

“Because the oppression of nonhuman individuals is normative, it is largely invisible, and most of us are complicit in one way or another. While social justice activists now widely recognize that the poor, elderly, and non-white racialized minorities are harmed by patriarchy, few are willing to similarly recognize the harm of patriarchal dualisms and hierarchy on nonhuman animals – even ecofeminist theorists. Very few social justice activists have even a rudimentary understanding of speciesism, or of the harmful exploitation that stems from such marginalization and cruel domination of nonhuman animals.”

Did a photoshoot on my chair.

Also, went down to my university campus to pick up a library book. Turns out they installed these hand sanitizer stations that should be glaringly obvious as being ableist but... is anything obvious to the ables?

[Image description: The first four images are selfies I took of myself using a selfie stick. I am sitting on my wheelchair. I am wearing a red button-up shirt and black shorts. I am also sporting white headphones around my neck, and blue and black fingerless gloves. The last three pictures were taken at my university, and they feature a hand sanitizer station, which is a tall white pole with a (though not pictured) spout that dispenses a squirt of hand sanitizer when you press a foot pedal. I made a point of including the little sign on it that says "step here" with an arrow pointing down at the foot pedal, and in the image you can see the wheel of my wheelchair next to the foot pedal.

Refrain from using graphic images/diagrams when explaining FGM. Simpler, non-graphic images are better, with no gore or knives displayed. The last thing you want to do it retraumatize a victim when you should be spreading awareness.

We typically see FGM as an issue of the East, but FGM can happen in North and South America, Europe, and Australia, typically by migrant families. However the Western world has been a bit quicker to outlaw these practices (no doubt orientalism/xenophobia/racism was involved in this intervention). However, in countries where FGM has been outlawed, many women fear speaking out against their abuse, fearing the prosecution of family and self, and disapproval from their community elders. This is why it's SO IMPORTANT that we make victims feel safe.

"Why do you care so much about racism?"

Why are you against animal abuse when you're not an animal? Why are you against child abuse when you're a young adult? Why do you care about the environment when you're not a tree?

It doesn't matter if you're white, asian, black, hispanic, etc. Everybody should be aware, educated, and an advocate for social justice because that is being a decent human being. Don't be ignorant or encourage ignorance.

supporting black lives means supporting trans people, autistic people, disabled people, multicultural people, fat people, etc.

black people can be any of these. if u only support cis, straight, neurotypical, thin, conventionally attractive, able-bodied black people, then u don’t actually support black people. u support ur idealized version of black people. that’s not support, it’s fetishization

Text ID: Five Images with the following captions:

The sz is open to interpretation, it’s our little secret but some really cool interpretations of it so far have been:

“I think the reason behind including both in the name, and thus purposely misspelling it, is a rejection of colonial standards. British English is what is considered “correct” in India, but only because of colonization. English, in itself, is a product of colonization and while its global spread across countries facilitates international communication, it also privileges those who have had a chance to learn it, thus effectively excluding non-English speakers from global, international discussions.

Although there is positive usage in the widespread use of English, globalization and the expansion of the English language have also resulted in oppression and inequality, and a form of linguistic colonialism. Using both ‘s’ and ‘z’ in the name can highlight all of this, bringing attention to the fact that there inherently cannot be a “right” or a “wrong” way when it comes to language.”

“Honestly, I am not sure about the usages of these alphabets but I believe it is an attempt at curating our own vocabulary and grammar different from the existing dominant vocabulary. I draw this idea from the scholarships of Feminist movements, Dalit movements and Black lives matter movements, where the Vocabulary itself is either patriarchal of hegemonic, leaving no gap for emancipatory prospects. Therefore, an attempt has been made consciously to move away from the dominant narratives and vocabulary to try and create our own spaces where our voices would be heard. I believe this is one such attempt.”

“I think it is an attempt to accommodate both the American and British version of the word in order to emphasize on a complete rejection of all Western influences”

A person's sexual orientation or gender identity is an extremely personal affair. Having said that, as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, only you get to decide when, how, and whom to come out to. Nobody else has the right to reveal your identity without your consent, and that too, at someone else's terms. The lack of acceptance and alarming rates of hate crime against queer people can often cause them to refrain from coming out. Moreover, because of their identities, they are at risk of being subjected to queerphobia, potential marginalisation, public erasure, and abuse in private as well as public. All of this can lead to suicidal tendencies, suicide attempts, self-harm, and negative impacts on their mental health. Outing someone is an inexcusable violation of their privacy and security. Whatever be the reason, you must respect a person's decisions about their own identities.
