New essay: Who but a white Christian man could tell a class of graduating women in 2024 that they were probably most excited about becoming mothers and wives, only to have other white people in the United States (of White Supremacist Patriarchy) act shocked? Who do you think has been voting for the politicians and judges who are systematically stripping women of autonomy in the United States of Post-Roe v Wade to ensure that they become mothers and wives? “I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” Harrison Butker, the kicker for Super Bowl Champion the Kansas City Chiefs, had the fucking nerve to say in his commencement speech at Benedictine College, a private Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas. “Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.” So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women especially that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. and not Saudi Arabia or Iran, that so many white women did not pay enough attention to the theocracy that white supremacy was building right here at home. It was being built by white men who look like their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons, not the scary brown Muslim men with beards, right? It was being built by the white men with beards like Harrison Butker. But white Christian men are considered the default and norm and not scary in the U.S, right?

READ! Repost from @wizard_bisan1 • Instagram is not allowing me to post a picture of decomposing Palestinians/ humans bodies found in Jabalia after the Israeli army massacred people for 20 days!.. but allowing spam accounts to publish nudes and drugs and tag me 🤷🏻♀️, so here is my message: “Dear brothers and sisters in humanity, we are living in a dirty, ugly unfortunate world and in its worst era, I have never seen all of you or hear your stories, life struggles and hopes but I truly believe that standing for Gaza – Palestine is also standing for your lives and families, the devil is the same, capitalism and capitals.. colonialism and colonisers and their belief that they own us and our world.. and that it’s ok to plan everything related to us and our children years before we find out the disaster (NAKBA) we are all in!!! Hhhh when the real designers die then the next colonisers start apologising and condemning, and continue to fool us.. Colonisers are not creative. They told us that there is no Palestine and it’s only IsraHell defending itself! And that Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and much more countries need liberation, they gave themselves the credit to kill us or to support our killers and to destroy our lands, BUT after years, what happened? No liberation, freedom, welfare, life or even peace! They are getting richer and building empires over our bodies, after stealing our wealths then making sure that there is no unity to stop them! Brothers and sisters we have a historical chance and maybe the last one to change our future and take over the role of our countries and our lives! To become a united nations (real not the lie of 🇺🇳), Gaza awakened the world, but how many times a genocide must be committed to awaken us! Why I am saying this? Because they are also controlling what should we and shouldn’t tell or post, they can let nudity and drugs out but they will never let the truth out because it is more dangerous.” Keep pushing we must destroy centuries of lies. Long live Palestine, Long live Gaza, Long live our martyrs.
Happy Father’s Day to my Baba, who in that first picture is holding me 18 days after I was born, and can you see the big mouth I already had?! My Baba and Mama have three children and my brother, sister, and I are so wonderfully different. I post a similar caption every Father’s Day. Today, and every day, I celebrate the ways my dad has taught my siblings and me that fatherhood means love, kindness, and a heart that is big enough to be proud of us in all our differences. Before we began to more publicly use such phrases as positive depictions of fatherhood and masculinity, my dad modeled those ways for us, showing us what a loving, gentle, nurturing and supportive man and father could be. I grew up with a love of film and endless curiosity because my dad would take me to the Saturday morning cartoons at the cinema and along the way would answer all the questions of his inquisitive little girl. I grew up learning to pay attention to the world because I grew up watching the news with my dad—so much so that when I told him I wanted to be a journalist and not a doctor like my parents, he said do it! And I grew up watching football with my dad and to love it (see the third picture where we’re watching the opening match of the men’s 2014 World Cup)—so much so that even though I support Manchester United and he and my brother and my brother’s family all support Liverpool, we still love watching matches together. And I grew up arguing and debating issues with my dad—loudly and with gusto!—in ways that encouraged me to continue to ask questions and to question authority everywhere. And for all of that, I am so grateful! Thank you for all the ways you have encouraged and nurtured my curiosity—for film and football, for this world and the importance of justice and freedom for all of us who live in it—and how, together with Mama, you have shown my siblings and me how to be loving, kind, and big-hearted people in this world. I love you, Baba! Sending love to all Baba’s who nurture curiosity 💜✊🏽❤️ #fathersday

150lbs! Honestly, most of the time I find back squats fucking terrifying! I loved them today! Ha! And so I invoke all the strong women who came before me and those who will come after me and I grunt with power! I’m working hard at my depth. I’m 56 and weigh 156lbs (155.8lbs give and take!) Coming close to squatting my body weight 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Thank you @jeanafanellifitness
