Uppdatering/livet/kampen/vad händer?
Hej finaste feminister! Katten är det som talar.
Bloggen har ju varit rätt inaktiv på sista tiden, av många olika anledningar, men vi är inte döda! Föreningsfaddrarna surrar på för fullt och möjligtvis kommer det dyka upp ett pass "Verbalt Feministiskt Självförsvar" väldigt snart - så håll utkik!
Fram till dess: Ta hand om er och fortsätt kämpa!
prioritize trans women. prioritize fat trans women in your body positivity and fat acceptance. prioritize butch trans women in your celebrations of fucking with gender roles. prioritize trans women of color anti-racism activism. prioritize trans women.
Nu är vår affisch klar!!! Vårt evenemang finns på facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1419339671640400/ ———————————————————————————————— In english: Our poster for the International Women’s day!!!!
Värt att ta en titt på om en bor i närheten!
(personligen är jag kritisk till "clitz" iom att de säger sig vara en plattfor för kvinnor men iom namnet är transexkluderande - men resten verkar rätt nice!//katten)
Uppdatering!
Hej alla fantastiska feminister, katten speaking.
Vi har varit jättedåliga på att uppdatera vår tumblr, haft mycket på gång och lite fokus. Men nu är vi tillbaka på banan!
Igår hade föreningen pysselmöte och nästa fredag kommer vi ha planeringsmöte inför det efterlängtade "Feminism och Begrepp 101" - mötet!
Missa inte att demokratiska utskottet har "Feministisk Filmfestival" nästa vecka! Massor av fab filmer kommer visas, så jag föreslår att ni joinar oss i föreningen för att se på dem?
Rock on så ses och hörs vi snart!
Movies to look forward to in 2014
a.k.a This should have been posted at the start of the month not halfway through at the end of the month, but c’est la vie.
1. Belle (June 2014)
What is it about?
Belle is based on the life of a historical character, Dido Elizabeth Belle, the mixed–race daughter of a British Naval officer and an African woman. Dido is taken to England by her father, Captain Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode), to be raised by his uncle, the Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson), as an aristocratic Lady, as befits her blood line.

Why you should watch it?
We have been waiting to see this film since the beginning of 2013. Hello! A story about a girl of mixed heritage in 18th century England…and they said there were no black people in England before the ’60s.
Also the director, Amma Asante is a Black British woman who has just been picked to direct Unforgettable for Warner Bros. Why is this a big deal? Because how many female directors get to direct major studio films a year? I rest my case.
2. Annie (December 2014, January 2015 in the UK)
Source: Just Jared
What is it about?
An orphan is adopted by a wealthy businessman. Oh and there will be a lot of singing and dancing. Yay! If that’s your thing.
Why you should watch it?
Two words: Quvenzhané. Wallis. She’s like our little sister here at T(w)o Black Girls and she’s awesome and confident and articulate…pretty much the best 10 year old around.
Produced by Jay Z and Will Smith. They said “If you don’t like it, make your own shows!” and so they did. Also Jamie Foxx plays a wealthy businessman who adopts a young black girl. Based on movies/tv shows alone you would think black people never adopt. Lies!
3. Dear White People (TBC)
(The current cast looks different but this is the picture I found on the website.)
What is it about?
"A satire about being a black face in a white place."
DEAR WHITE PEOPLE follows the stories of four black students at an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular “African American” themed party thrown by white students. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film will explore racial identity in “post-racial” America while weaving a universal story of forging one’s unique path in the world.

Why you should watch it?
So we here at T(w)o Black Girls have been screaming in excitement about this movie since a trailer was made and with the movie at this years Sundance we’re about ready to burst at the seams. This is in independent movie that I feel a lot of us can relate to. Although it focuses on an American college, if you listened to our podcast on being black at university you’ll know that maybe our experiences aren’t so different.
Also it did really really well at Sundance and considering that, I hope it increases the chances of actually seeing it in a cinema in the UK.
4. Half of a Yellow Sun (2014)
What is it about?
"A drama that brings together the lives of four people during the struggle to establish an independent republic in Nigeria." IMDB
Why you should watch it?
It is based on the novel written by her “Excellency” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and thats really all there is to it. Although the fact that it has Anika Noni Rose in it is a massive selling point because she’s fantastic and disgustingly underrated.
Although, we have to remember that it is a book to movie adaptation and as such some of the nuances of the book may be lost in translation (read Z’étoile Imma’s review for Africa Is A Country here. However, I find that sometimes it is best to see for yourself and make your own decision. Plus it was filmed in Nigeria and that is important for many reasons.
5. The Suspect (2014)
What is it about?
"Two African American social scientists pose as bank robbers in an effort to understand the racial dynamics of small-town law enforcement. However, their experiment takes an unplanned, deadly turn." (IMDB)
Why you should watch it?
I’m going to admit that when I first read the synopsis I laughed bitterly then shook my head because hellooooo! two black men in America consciously doing something to get arrested in a White town is just MADNESS. But then I watched the trailer and now I am very intrigued. It looks like this movie really questions the existence of a “post-racial America” (let’s be real, it doesn’t exist, ask a POC) in a really compelling way.
mer pyssel! globalarna kommer att se dem på håll och tro att det är ett alla hjärtans dag-jippo, men tji fick dom!!!
texterna på hjärtana är:
det finns skitmånga kön
alla kön inte båda kön
objektsform henom
det är olagligt att vägra säga rätt pronomen om någon
det finns skitmånga pronomen
[definition av vad trans och cis betyder]
cissexism är aldrig ursäktat
granska dina privilegier
anta varken kön eller pronomen
många kvinnor har kuk
cissexism = marginalisering av trans personer
alla kvinnor har inte fitta så lägg ned med den transmisogyna, fittcentriska “feminismen”
Pyssel från globalas feministers senaste möte! Bästa grejen. (linda orkade inte logga in och lägga upp här så jag rebloggar från quiltbag ist)
Vi snackade igår om tips på bra feministiska bloggar att följa?? Så här är de som vi pratade om:
hexgoddes
jobhaver
wolfsisters
eh det blev inte så många lmao men yeah
GOTT NYTT ÅR
party like there's no tomorrow
Så tog terminen slut...
...och terminens sista möte gick av stapeln.
Vi pratade om skolans hemmablindhet, den idé som etablerats i klassrummen och lärarrummen om att det mesta redan är bra - hur skolan litar på att det finns elever som ifrågasätter problematik och därför underlåter att åtgärda saker på egen hand.
Vi pratade om obehaget när förtryck och problematik ses som "lärorika situationer" som "borde diskuteras" i stället för att stoppas.
Vi pratade om vad föreningen betytt under året och vad den borde betyda - om vikten av att ha en frizon som är trygg för alla som behöver den och om allt arbete som återstår för att nå dit.
Och vi pratade om den fantastiska termin som passerat.
En termin med politiska möten, en filmkväll, möten om teori och praktik, möten för att ventilera känslor och möten för att åtgärda aktuella problem.
Genom att finnas här för varandra gör vi vår skola och våra liv lite lättare, lite tryggare. För varje gång vi hör att någon andas lättare efter att föreningen samlats vet vi att vi gör något bra. Varje gång någon lämnar våra möten med känslan av att ha lärt sig något nytt och ha känt sig hörd så vet vi att det här är en kamp värd att föra.
------------------------------------------
Vi hoppas att ni har ett fantastiskt lov med trygghet och närhet. Om någon behöver hjälp eller stöd under lovet är vi fortfarande nåbara på facebook och här på tumblr.
Kamp, pepp och kärlek - mot ljusare tider!

if anyone ever tells you to man up, just knock them unconscious and as they lie motionless of the ground, lean over them and whisper
"man down"
if you think the solution to systemic oppression is “everybody just be nice” you fundamentally don’t understand the concept of systemic oppression
remember the old “baskets of apples” metaphor for oppression. where the privileged party has a basket with a hundred apples in it, and the oppressed party has, say, ten. now suppose this disparity exists because the privileged party keeps stealing our goddamn apples
of course in this scenario you can of course just lay down an agreement that nobody steals anybody else’s apples because that’s mean. and maybe that’ll work for the most part. but the fact remains that people on the oppressed side were never really in the business of stealing apples anyway, and some people on the privileged side are just going to keep stealing apples regardless because they don’t give a shit.
the agreement to be nice effectively does nothing. the inequality still exists, and the people on the oppressed side are still starving.
now imagine people on the oppressed side decide that fuck it, they’re just going to take their goddamn apples back. screw being nice. and it’s hard work, but every now and again they manage to steal an apple back.
now imagine that every time they steal an apple - an apple they might need to survive, because god knows the puny quantity allotted to them isn’t enough, but maybe just an apple they WANTED because damnit, it’s not fair that they have so few when their neighbors have so many and they’re all ill-gotten anyway - someone on the privileged side yells “can’t we all just get along! you’re hurting your cause!”
that’s how ridiculous you sound when you promote the “equality” of being polite about oppression
Cis feminists love to pretend that transmisogynist feminist icons “did so much for women”
But that’s bullshit and they know it’s bullshit. Because trans women are also women. So in reality, the place we all live, transmisogynist feminists did fuckall for women. They did things for cis women.
Even saying that phrase reveals a lot about you. Namely the fact that you’re a transmisogynist who degenders trans women yourself.
prioritize trans women. prioritize fat trans women in your body positivity and fat acceptance. prioritize butch trans women in your celebrations of fucking with gender roles. prioritize trans women of color anti-racism activism. prioritize trans women.
Real life “Rosie the Riveter” - Tennessee, 1943.
From the Library of Congress collection, 1930’s-1940’s in Color.
GLORIFY THE SHIT OUT OF THIS IMAGE
!!!!!!!!
Painting a more accurate version of history, one reblog at a time.
When I posted this archival image of a “real life Rosie the Riveter” one year ago, I had no idea it would resonate with so many people. 19K and counting.
I'm not "offended" by the shit people say--I am harmed by it. When you complain about having to be "PC," you are saying that you are perfectly fine with hurting people and supporting cultural systems that cause tangible harm to certain populations.
i love laughing about the friend zone because it’s so dumb like you know most of those dudes aren’t even IN the “friend zone” they’re in the “ugh god not this dude again” zone
