here is a non-exhaustive thread on the various modifications you can apply to surgical masks to increase their efficacy at preventing airborne illness (95% effective like N95 masks). combining these modifications will increase your mask's efficacy 🧵

Don’t let anybody tell you the economies of the Caribbean and the south were not intertwined. They’re lying.

is a body that had braces or invisalign natural? is a body that had corrective leg braces natural? is a body that had tonsils removed natural?

all of this shit including the crush convo is bizarre. you’re trying to define people to see what the best way to live is to protect yourself but this will not work. stressful reading this stuff.

[____ @minjokyoexit]

guys sometimes ppl just do shit and it isnt a permanent category. you cannot find the perfect abuser or avoid them. you have avoided conflict, you have people pleased, you have been confrontational, you have been wrong, right, and neither. this society isn’t kind like

This bill includes an extradition clause, meaning LGBTQ Ghanaians who fled to escape persecution could now be requested to be extradited back to Ghana. So it begs the question, is driving them out not enough, or do we want to see them killed too?

Thinking about how children / youth are de-politicised by “politicised” actors, it’s very patronising and reproduces youth oppression by not taking them as political agents seriously.

[Pashtunmarxism @pashtunmarxism]

Like I think it’s important for a variety of reasons to bring children / youth into the movement I.e. make it more accessible as it reduces patriarchal limits in society that makes it less accessible for mothers / parents and children which also helps shape and sustain us better

I have a new piece out

Reflecting on 20 years of struggles, it goes into what abolish ICE does - and doesn't - mean; merging of immigration enforcement with policing & military power; how fascism is made through bordering; and what the border even is

@TamanishaJohn They're trying to showing dominance on people with no to defend themselves in a region where military protection hinge's on a countries' political ties to the US, example Trinidad & Tobago, Ecuador and Venezuela who've been made into vassel states by thwir leaders' capitualtion.

[Tamanisha J John @TamanishaJohn]

So as US naval + military forces take Ls in Iran, the US is simultaneously lying to people in the about its own naval + military strength by bombing fishing boats in the Caribbean and claiming that they are “narco-terrorists” and “drug runners.”

[Tamanisha J John @TamanishaJohn]

This is a very important observation: US boats bombings in the Caribbean + SA Pacific Coast both increased & on a more consistent basis after the “ceasefire” viz Iran-US brokered by Pakistan in 1st/2nd week of April — highlighting that US, who pushed for it, took an L in Iran.

[Carolyn Hinds 🇧🇧 #FreePalestine #CongoInCrisis @CarrieCnh12]

There's a pattern to these boat bombings and murders of fishermen in the Pacific Ocean.

Every time the US navy and military loses an advancement either in negotiations or an attempt to attack Iran, they turn and attack fishing boats to kill Caribbean and Latin American men.

Human Rights Watch published Tuesday additional evidence that the United Arab Emirates has enhanced the Rapid Support Forces’ capacity to commit war crimes, revealing that Colombian mercenaries transited through Abu Dhabi military bases before being deployed to Sudan.

Not an exact parallel, but it reminds me of white people who will dunk on like the Hebrew Israelites, but won't touch any actual Black radicalism with a 10 foot pole. You see how that behavior makes you seem disingenuous.

[TheDisabilityEnthusiast @twitchyspoonie]

If the only time you engage with the concept of ableism is to make fun of the most unreasonable people talking about it, I don't trust you.
