Not in a celebratory mood today. Patriarchy is decimating the earth & ALL her inhabitants.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Cortisol level & blood pressure spiking big time. Not good. Someone in Washington/Mar o Largo & another 1 in Tel Aviv made a decision as a consequence, we are all involved in a war. 2 of my sisters can lose 2 of their babies RIGHT NOW in a conflict we didn't didn't vote for. Beyond ENRAGED.

Thank you Professor Fleming. It was an honour and an absolute please. Your students'questions were deep and illuminating. 🙏🏾

Prof Otele projected onto a screen with students watching her speak

Earlier this week, Professor Olivette Otele @historianmemory.bsky.social blessed our Black Europe course at Smith College with her presence and dropped “bars on bars on bars” (as the young people say) sharing her deep knowledge, trailblazing experience and wisdom. What an absolute honor and delight!

Between delays & cancelled trains, 6hrs to get from London to West Wales (same time you take to get to Cameroon). Exhausted but nothing the view and a cup of homemade herbal tea can't cure.

A present: the scholarly work by the brilliant Erika D. Edwards and yes, I deliberately choose the work done by a Black woman!

So if you're White & haven't 'seen' racism there, sit this conversation out. Chances are your Black 'friends' didn't want to make your oblivious self uncomfortable and to have to relive the trauma.

You've heard about racism from Argentinians in recent days. Well, do Google 'Blanqueamiento' & you'll understand how the legacies of racial genocide are at play. Experiences of White people living or visiting Argentina are often very different from Black people's.

Journalists Arrested in Cameroon While Reporting on Trump’s Secretive Deportation Program

Not Cameroonian but secretly deported to Cameroon?

Yes, that's his date of birth.

Reverend Jackson, you deserve your rest. You did well. May the ancestors welcome you. 🌻

Very satisfying!

Well done Le XV!!!

Today, my 2 families are having a friendly-ish fight. As always when that's the case, I'll be (the only one around me) supporting Le XV de France. Allez les Bleus!

Una reivindicación de aquellas personas de origen africano que a lo largo de la historia han dejado su huella en Europa: 'Europeos africanos. Una historia jamás contada', de Olivette Otele @historianmemory.bsky.social. Coeditado con @casa-africa.bsky.social buff.ly/WGsMVlg

or if he wants a top job in Reform government if NF was to become PM. It's an investment. It's also Trump's playbook. As we know, it works. You punch down to get elected in current so called democracies.

He is telling us he will use his money, his network etc. to get Farage elected. Why? It's definitely not about immigrants or care for his compatriots (again taxes in Monaco)! So why? Well for the right price he knows he is likely to get top priority for contracts, a place in the Lords

the hypocrisy given Britain's colonisation of territories for 400 years & British immigrants enslaving people to make money. We are here because you were there and all that.

Instead, I want people to think about the INTENTION behind this. This is man who is 'hard' launching himself into Reform.

Sky News got in touch but I was too ill this morning to comment on Sir Radcliffe. Still bedridden but need to write something. I'm not going to go over the hypocrisy given his ties with Monaco & the number of immigrants in the football team he owns. I could also comment on colonialism & again,

Since people are talking about the backflip & the amazing Surya Bonaly, I'm adding something else. I loved her and mentioned her in my book #AfricanEuropeans in 2020.

Sex and snacks, but no seat at the table: the role of women in Epstein’s sordid men’s club Files reveal a world of flattery and fratboy tones, where rich men are cultivated and women provide services

Me looking at Black MAGA voters (who've been adamant their Duce/Fuhrer & team were not racists - 'they just wanted to protect America' ...) after those offensive photos of the Obamas.

This is why I can't understand the incrementalism. There's horror shit happening to kids in these places. Horror shit. OK? That has to matter. The longer we wait the longer these kids suffer.

Definitely!

Sunday 15 should be interesting ...
