Science is political, it's a series of techniques, it's a community & it's an information organisation structure in conversation with power.
With this in mind, here's me talking about decolonising South African #astronomy

I hope the feminist goddesses that fought for my right to have a license and a car know that I drive myself to cute restaurants and eat my own money when I’m down. I love them so much. The real Jesuses!

the thought of winning the world cup is actually scary. we are too irresponsible as a country for all that happiness man😭

[Thuso van Zyl 🇿🇦 @Thuso1Africa]

So, the South African Police fabricated a lie, lied to the nation, implicated someone else’s child, and told a grieving mother that Nhlamulo, her child was a criminal, just to protect Jacinta and her march and march thugs! No guys, this is wrong!!

So could the women you kept in the kitchen, denied education, autonomy, and basic human rights. You didn't care about them either.

The African Charter on Family, Sovereignty and Values is a project of US right wing Christian nationalists who want to impose their ideology on Africa. They sponsor anti-LGBTI bills in Uganda, Ghana and other African states.
The South African Constitution prohibits discrimination

So the Police lied about the murder of Nhlamulo Sambo and the claim that he was killed by the owner of the shack.

The suspect has now been released and says that Nhlamulo Sambo was attacked by a mob, Nhlamulo ran into the shack to seek shelter, and when the owner arrived, that is when he took his last breath. The owner then allegedly called an ambulance with other community members.

The Mother was was correct all this time, Nhlamulo Sambo was killed because he was Tsonga

[Andile Gogoda @AfricaisBlack]

SAPS held a whole press conference to lie to the nation, claiming Nhlamulo Sambo's death was just a burglary. Now the released suspect is out exposing the truth that Nhlamulo was running for his life from a xenophobic mob. The cover up has collapsed. @SAPoliceService explain this! #JusticeForNhlamulo

Yeah and black people were previously classified as subhumans in medical and scientific references in the US.

[moon child @marxistnila]

fun fact. this cutter is designed for disabled people. a lot of things we use on the daily (eg: ramraj velcro veshtis, magnet knife holders etc) are all invented for disabled ppl. increasing accessibility for disabled ppl makes the world a better place for everybody

seatbelts aren't designed for breasts.
Real blood wasn't used for period product testing until like 2023.
Female crash dummies weren't regularly used in crash tests until 2022.
Women are 30% more likely to die if her surgeon is a man.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women yet it takes 10 years to diagnose nd there's more research done on male pattern baldness than endo.
nd endo studies consist of how attractive endo patients are to males...

Imagine being a black athlete dominating such
a predominantly white sport while looking fly and alternative in an era where black athletes were barely even allowed to express themself without being persecuted? Truly revolutionary

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.
