dev patel as joshua in modern love (2019) dir. john carney

as we discuss the circumstances that can lead to acts of protest such as self-immolation, let us not forget that many gazans (such as ehab abu nada and fathi harb) in years past have also self immolated in protest of the israeli blockade on gaza. this has also been a form of protest among palestinians in the occupied west bank as well.

bell hooks taught me that love must be at the center of our politics and that revolution could not be possible without love. rest easy bell hooks, thank you for everything

carceral r*dfems claiming abolition is a movement ‘for and by men’ would be hilarious if it wasn’t such a clear example of misogynoir. black women sit at the forefront of abolitionist theorising and organising (kaba, gilmore, davis); their contributions to the movement are not just substantial, but integral. as is the case for survivors. how unsurprising that ‘r*dical’ feminists do not merely fall into carcerality, but embrace it through constant acts of epistemic violence.

this is such a great point, even off the top of my head, the prominent recent prison abolitionist works that come to mind are by black women (Michelle Alexander with The New Jim Crow and many other books + Ava DuVernay with 13th and When They See Us). Angela Davis who you mentioned has a writing credit on basically every major book on the subject!!

it’s the same with mariame kaba—i’d be genuinely surprised if someone had actually researched police abolition in any kind of depth and had never heard of her work, as she’s constantly credited with shifting the conversation around policing in america. but i suppose it’s naïve to expect these people to do any research outside of their cult-like social media echo chambers.

the op made a good point on that post by noting the radfem tendency to reduce everything to (a narrow & crude understanding of) patriarchy, and i suppose this extends to their understanding of other people’s politics too. they deny the existence of nuanced abolitionist politics in the same way that they deny the existence of trans-inclusive feminists and lgb people, and sex workers and their allies, with revolutionary politics. for radfems to accept these things would be to accept that they simply do not have the range!

thinking of when vincent van gogh said that “poverty stops the best minds in their tracks” and how art would see a new era if we funded struggling independent artists instead of hiring talentless nepotism babies.
