She is a 20-year-old Ethiopian named Naima Jamal. This image is from last year, & there are many others with her.
Devastating image. I hope she is safe somewhere now but ...
Mayim Bialik's great-grandfather's first cousin, Zionist national poet Hayim Nahman Bialik, 1933:
"Like Hitler, I too believe in blood and the power of blood"
it’s actually so appalling to me.
same with non-muslim feminists who get really worked up about hijabs but don’t say shit about literally any other religious garments.
like why don’t you just say how you REALLY feel?
I’m at conference for osteosarcoma, the bone cancer that killed my sister. It is a brutal, devouring disease, that mostly affects children, taking their limbs and their lives. I remember this from the original Kiera Bell decision and my anger could melt the sky
I look (and am) very Ashkenazi and one time this Chabad guy came up to me and did the “excuse me, are you Jewish?” line and I was in a hurry and in kind of a bad mood so I just say “no” and he looked at me for a beat and said “…’no’?”
Thread🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥To the people who are hoping to make me and over 100 of my colleagues redundant: please read these posts by my ace colleague Prof Susannah Cornwall. THIS is the why the humanities are vital 💪#DefendExeterUni
*completely* agree - her heroines DO at times boldly and without regret break social convention, but only to help others (Lizzie walking to Longbourne to help a sick Jane, Anne Elliot visiting her poor friend) or to stand up for themselves when being treated badly (ie Lizzie not standing for Lady Catherine insulting her, and asking her to leave)
missed out on a non-academic job straight out of my PhD bc a senior academic trying to leave academia applied w/ decades more exp. Yet i was still overqualified! landing a post-PhD role in or out of academia is hard enough, but w/ waves of senior scholars redundant, no chance.
People obviously doing the trans panic angle here but if you just say "women" instead of "people who menstruate" that implies someone who went through the menopause a decade ago would also be eligible, you stupid fucking loser
Pro actor. Never diagnosed neurodiverse. Thinking hard this morning about how theatre acting is great because you get to say familiar things multiple times and are clearly rewarded, and if you don't understand a complex social situation the director will explain it to you
part of reclaiming something is not letting other ppl define what it actually means and i am very much an unironic judeo-bolshevik who believes that judaism is compatible with communism as other jewish communists have for 150+ years
If being a “leftist” means you must reject faith in order to qualify to speak about class struggle. Then ya’ll can keep your leftism. I will continue to drink from the well of Sekou Toure who instrumentalised Islam in order to wage struggles against French Colonialism.
My brothers and myself will literally calculate travel time plus time for parking if we’ve never been there before and sit in the damn parking lot for ten minutes to make sure we’re at the right place fifteen minutes early bc early is on time and late is late and DISRESPECTFUL
She will tell you with a straight face at 10 am it’s entirely possible to leave at 10:30 and head to location one, 30 minutes east of home, then location two, an hour west of location one, and be back home by 11:30. I cannot stress how badly this fucked everybody’s shit up
She also refuses to ever use Google Maps, won’t look at how long it takes to get anywhere. Once my baby cousin piped up in the car when I was trying to navigate her through a bunch of one way streets “you’re not good at listening huh?” and she got so mad she almost cried
My youngest brother missed out on two years of free college because she was late turning in the paperwork to enroll him as a minor, when she herself was like 17 her stepdad straight left her at home because she couldn’t get out of the door on time for a family trip
