'I want to be remembered as someone who was sincere. Even if I made mistakes, they were made in sincerity. If I was wrong, I was wrong in sincerity.'

Remembering Malcolm X, who was born on this day in 1925.

On today, his 99th birthday, I am remembering #MalcolmX (el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz) and praying for his dear daughters, including my powerful sister-friend, Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz. #MalcolmX Day

As soon as I started telling the history of Palestine - and the fact that this genocide started 76 years ago with the Nakba, not with October 7th - they changed the subject to talk to Piers Morgan about a Netflix show. Interesting.

I am renouncing my slander of the fantasy genre. Brandon Sanderson. I finally get it. 🥲

Just finished book 2, and I'm so glad I already bought book 3 🙌🏾

The gravest threat to society lectures that society of a grave threat to society.

The Fire Brigades Union officially refuses to remove pro-palestine demonstrators. They will not assist the police. Stating 'We support the rights of the protesters and the call for peace and justice for Gaza'

Solidarity is the most beautiful thing in the world.

The democrats going with the “maybe you’re mad because you are stupid” strategy. Love it

“We call on David Lammy to stop being an apologist for genocide and instead encourage all students on UK and European university campuses to emulate their fellow students in the USA in their call for a ceasefire in Gaza and support the struggle of the Palestinian people”

David Lammy claims Nelson Mandela would not have agreed with student protests about Gaza. But Mandela said “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.'

As an aside, I also want to say loud and clear to anyone who's struggling -- progress is not linear!! I didn't even apply to university when I was in high school because I had so little confidence in myself despite good grades. You will figure it out. It will be okay!
