Black ppl deserve to feel safe and welcomed on the internet, on fandoms on whatever community or hobbies they want without having to deal with antiblack racist attacks, microaggressions or enablers of antiblackness . And if u genuinely consider urself to be left leaning or an ally or woke you should do and try to unlearn the colorism, texturism , eurocentrism and antiblackness
On one street, hundreds of masked men carrying bottles and bricks set bins on fire and shouted "foreigners out", our reporter says.
i really don't have the words for how things have escalated to outright race riots in the last few weeks. just to collect a few of the stories the bbc is reporting in their live thread:
Families led to safety through flames (Dan Johnson) Homes were targeted and burned. Families had to be led to safety through the flames - rescued by emergency services risking their lives in the most dangerous situation. It’s what the authorities feared all day. What they warned against and pleaded not to see. The condemnation came quickly and was widespread. It wasn’t just homes, cars were also torched by young masked man in these predominantly unionist streets but the target here was immigrants and the message to entirely innocent families was: "You’re not welcome". In the north of the city, more people were forced to flee including an African family who’ve lived here for 20 years.
People being put out 'because they're black' - pastor A pastor who has been helping those in houses targeted in tonight's violence says people were being put out of their homes "because they're black". Pastor Jack McKee was at the scene where multiple houses were on fire around the Crumlin Road in north Belfast - he says some members of his church "who have been with us for 20 years" were "getting put out of their home, had their house attacked, windows smashed, houses beside them burned". "They're good Christian people and they're getting put out just because they're black," he says. "I'm doing my best to help them, it's as simple as that." [...]
Masked men shouting 'foreigners out' (Kelly Bonner) Last night on the Lower Newtownards Road in Belfast hundreds of masked men walked down the street carrying bottles, bricks and masonry. They set bins on fire and shouted "foreigners out". As they walked street to street, they were banging on doors, kicking doors down and breaking windows. Masked man set cars alight and at one point I witnessed them trying to burn a car until a woman came out of her home and told them it belonged to a "local and not a foreigner" and they stopped. A young family had to be moved from their home by police. The scenes of this young family fleeing their home were really quite shocking.
We're seeing a 'race-based pogrom' in Belfast, MP tells BBC Claire Hanna, Belfast MP and leader of the Social Democratic & Labour Party, has spoken to Newsnight about the "nightmarish" attack on Monday, which she says has "understandably revulsed and shocked" people in Belfast. However, she condemned the scenes that erupted on Tuesday afternoon, suggesting that "negative actors online and politicians locally who don't really care what communities in north Belfast have been through" have used the knife attack to incite violence and seed division. "What you're seeing is a race-based pogrom. We are seeing men going door to door asking to get the foreigners out based exclusively on the colour of their skin," she has said. "It's not based on what they're contributing to society, what their status here is and it's terrifying for people in Belfast who want this sort of politics to be far beyond them."
Transgender woman faces two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation.
A Wyoming transgender woman is facing two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation she says began with anti-LGBTQ+ and a
Ríhanna Kelver, a bartender and trans rights advocate in Laramie, has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent after a 13 September 2025 confrontation outside the Crowbar & Grill, whereshe worked. Kelver could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison if convicted on both charges.
Kelver says one man in a group of men across the street from her started shouting homophobic and transphobic insults at her before the man allegedly shoved her to the ground in a downtown crosswalk, as reported by The Laramie Reporter.
There's more, as it pertains to Black trans people's right to self-defence:
Despite Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” statute, which allows people to use reasonable force in moments of self defense, Kelver faces up to 15 years in prison for both charges, as well as up to $11,000 in fines, per Cowboy State Daily. Kelver faces an additional year and $1,000 fine for a charge of interference with a peace officer. [...]
As pointed out by Slate, self-defense laws are often put into question when people from marginalized communities, especially trans people, use them, including Cece McDonald, a Black trans woman who served time in a men’s prison for defending her friends during a racist and transphobic attack. Ky Peterson, a Black trans man from Georgia, was also arrested and imprisoned for killing his rapist in self-defense.
I’d like us to take a second and think about the ghetto. I imagine to outsiders looking in—the pearl-clutching suburbanites, the scandalized
But I know another thing. For the whole of my life I’ve been poor and have lived in or around ‘hoods, ghettos, and slums. Gunfire is a familiar sound to me, but so are firecrackers, soul music and RnB. I’ve seen sweet ice tea sunrises over the roofs of ruined projects, and graffiti to rival the Sistine Chapel, dandelions and daffodils pushing up through concrete. For me and so many others, the ‘hood is a locus of survival, resistance, one of the last bastions of Blackness, authentic and unfiltered through respectability politics. It is complex, varied, as multifaceted as the diamond studs gracing the ear of a young Black boy. From Bankhead to Oakland, to each and every MLK road, drive or boulevard, to the tallest of projects to the squattest of duplexes—it is home, it is culture, and it is bubbling with Gothic aesthetic, sensibility, and mood. Often we equate southern gothic aesthetics with whiteness—white fears over freed enslaved people, down-on-their-luck cotton kings, crumbling plantations and the swamps that surround them. And while there is much to ponder about the south’s ugly-nasty history, the gallons of Black blood used to water the very same trees they string us from, I want to look at our more recent history, our present. Consider with me, the hood: the apartment complexes forgotten by the government, run by slumlords, decaying even as they house countless souls; the madmen and unhinged women that wander the streets, thrust into houselessness by the defunding of mental health care, or by drug addiction; consider the historic houses, dilapidated and abandoned, the trap houses and ‘crack dens’, the streets howling with ghosts both figurative and literal. See here, the neighbors telling ghost stories of little boys and girls being snatched up by who-knows-who, never to be seen again. Somebody’s cousin is acting possessed—too much crack, too much fent, too many pills to dull the pain of losing somebody dear to sickness, violence. The streets in this particular neighborhood are poisoned; bad air or haints, or maybe it’s the chemical plant down the road, the data center burping out hot toxins to sicken the children, weaken the elderly. Oh, we don’t go into those houses there—ain’t you hear? After Katrina, they left so many dead in attics, drowned or knocked flat from heat, it’s a wonder the city don’t rear up and scream.

DECEMBER Bears den and hares turn snowy white
"Nights turn sharp and clear, the sky ablaze with stars. Bears and skunks are cozy in their dens, burning fat reserves, while porcupines are courting and mating, leaving their communal dens to gnaw on the inner bark of trees. Turtles and some frogs are buried in mud under ponds. The forest is waiting for snow.
Some years snowy owls show up in large numbers from Canada, resting in open fields, dunes, even on airstrips. Winter finches like pine grosbeaks may push south, too, common in the Northeast one year, absent the next, as they follow good cone crops. A hundred noisy pine siskins might zip around with buzzy chitter-chatter, hanging upside down to pick conifer cones and visiting bird feeders.
Balsam fir’s sloped tiers will pile up with snow, then shed it. Hares will hide under its boughs. The fragrant resin that oozes from the trunk can treat cuts and sores and, during wildfires, also makes trees burst into flames." -Kateri Kosek from The Forest Revealed
December already. The evening grosbeaks are here. Making up for their absence last winter, and emptying the bird feeders. Here's some details and sketches from this month's page in The Forest Revealed. Also, huge thank you to Northern Woodlands Magazine for including the December pages from the book in the new issue! Posters of each month and signed copies of the book are available in my ETSY SHOP. (FYI, if you order the book through Etsy, it comes with a coloring sheet, a bookmark and a pocket magnifying glass)
