Romani people are not your costume.
You do not have a Gypsy Soul.
We aren’t an aesthetic.
We are real people, enduring real prejudice & discrimination.
You can take off the costume when it’s inconvenient. We cant.
Please stop calling yourself a Gypsy if you aren’t.
Human beings must involve themselves in the anguish of other human beings. This, I submit to you, is not a political thesis at all. It is simply an expression of what I would hope might be ultimately a simple humanity for humanity's sake. ― Rod Serling

Today is a good day to rewatch this history-making movie - The Woman King - by the incredible @GPBmadeit and her brilliant team.

This is Sumaya. She has been locked up at home for 491 days, banned from going to school or university by the Taliban.
She pleads the world to listen. She begs Afghan girls to try & learn any way they can at home, so that they can rise and stand up for their basic human rights.
Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where millions of girls are BANNED from going to school or university.
This artwork had been sent to me by a young woman, who used to be an Art teacher at a secondary school.
Today, she is locked up at home — alone and heartbroken.
The Taliban’s hatred of women extends beyond the living. It is now mandatory for store owners to cover the faces of mannequins.
These dystopian images are a sign of how much worse life is going to become for Afghan women if the world doesn’t stand with them.
africa has tons of awesome ancient and classical shit and archeology but for some ... mysterious ... reason you don't hear about it at all.
Mali, Benein, Nok, Ife and many many more sit alongside any of the greatest old civilizations they DO teach about.
This is the face of an artisanal miner in the DRC who carries on his shoulders the intolerable weight of 30kg of cobalt, and the world's rechargeable lives.

@ML_Philosophy Connect into nature and realize how insignificant you are, we all are. Let it lift the weight of being you, leaving you free to live... Simple and happy.
Women banned from working in national & international civil society organisations.
A chilling decision of unprecedented impact. The Taliban's latest ban on women's right to work is a breach of humanitarian principles and condemns Afghans to further and deepening crisis.
It’s pretty wild how we live in a world where we’ve gone to the moon & developed AI and some people still believe it’s OK to stone people to death and/or control women’s bodies. The 21st century is a time of great division. It is as if we are inhabiting two worlds, and not one.
Women own Afghanistan and the future. Their courage and determination is unparalleled. It’s understandable why Taliban are so afraid of them. They visionary, brave and are unstoppable
Online university programs need to open their doors to Afghan women. Internet access needs to become more accessible. Perhaps starlink can help with this?
