Black Twitter I need your help: for my sociolinguistics class I am writing about how people of colour are told they "speak white" when they are fluent in English and have a specific level of education. Please reply if you have ever been told you "speak white" RT save my grade.

Shameful decision from the French Government:

The Decision to deny entry to Shawan Jabarin, veteran Palestinian human rights defender and General Director of Al-Haq, is both shameful and deeply troubling.

Shawan is a human rights defender who has dedicated his life to pursuing justice for international crimes. He is denied entry into the Schengen area, while individuals wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity are able to travel freely.

This stark and absurd double standard should prompt urgent reflection among European states on their commitment to accountability and the consistent application of international justice.

We call on the French Government to reverse its decision so that Shawan can travel to France.

This year has taught me that a good year can also be a hard year. I've held joy and pain in equal measure. The joy hasn't made it less painful and the pain hasn't made it less joyful. it’s the year I learnt what it means to hold all things in a delicate balance.
