The challenges faced by journalists in Palestine serve as a stark reminder of the importance of protecting this fundamental right worldwide. A free press is not only essential for the people in the region but also for fostering understanding and empathy on a global scale.

"My heart is cut into pieces." This is just one of the heartbreaking things Gazan journalist Ahmed Ghanim said to me as we spoke about the state of Gaza and his work as a journalist in the area, where journalists are being killed at an unprecedented rate.

The reason they look for a scapegoat is simple. Whiteness is fragile and indefinable - it is constantly shifting and evolving to current and sometimes future needs and white privilege evolves with it.

Roshan Dadoo explains the meaning of Boycott, divestment, and sanctions, as well as the political landscape of South Africa's relationship with Israel and Palestine.

I interviewed the physician and representative of the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, about the current situation in Gaza.

I interviewed Lauren from Busy Wizard Dice, who is a bespoke dicemaker from the US, making custom and chaotic dice for D&D. You can find her on social media as @busywizarddice. We talk about D&D, and being a woman on the internet, and have a few cute interruptions by Lauren's cats, Dumbledore and Dobby.

Extended families come with great strengths. An extended family is one or more families in a supporting web. The prevalence of extended families living together meant that things that took a village to do meant families had a village to do it with. When colonisation takes hold of our communities, the multigenerational home and our ways of living have been and are destroyed for whiteness and Western ways of living.

In the occupied Palestinian territory, Palestinian women and girls endure systemic discrimination, human rights violations, and the harsh consequences of occupation, with specific gender-related repercussions. These challenges are exacerbated by occupation policies such as expanding settlements, eviction threats, house demolitions (especially in East Jerusalem and Area C of the West Bank), and the 15-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.

The Trans Narrative Podcast and The Bipolar Feminist speak to Ross Cheetham about the church, communism, and queerness. On a personal note, Ross is a friend whom I love dearly and is an integral part of this Patreon community and my life as a whole. He is, to this day, the longest-subscribing Patron of The Bipolar Feminist.

Israel is the symbolic bastion of colonial thought, sentiment, and action. A physical reminder to the global south that we are not safe from imperialism. An imperialist-colonialist project in its very essence, from its inception to its current execution.

It’s sometimes a feeling of suddenly becoming an observer of my own speech and actions. It’s sometimes hearing voices. In some cases, the voices accompany multiple streams of thought and it feels like everywhere is loud, no matter where I turn and I have no control over it.

I interviewed horror writer Vaughn A. Jackson, who is working on an anthology of short stories written entirely by marginalised people in the horror genre.

In the framework of a trauma response, hypersexuality often comes from internalising the sexual objectification thrust upon a person through sexual trauma. This commonly starts from a young age, moulding self-worth as they normalise this belief.

In the realm of fetish communities, some individuals specifically seek out partners from particular racial backgrounds, objectifying and dehumanising them in the process. This not only disregards the complexity of individual identities but also reduces them to mere caricatures.

Lumpens of the world unite with this interview by Shibby from Revolutionary Lumpen Radio talking about Marxism and Feminism. It's still strange being on the other side of the interview so enjoy my ranting.

Fatness has always been seen as a personal failing but there is most definitely a connection to capitalism and access to healthcare. It starts with acknowledging the existence of these biases and working towards understanding their impact on marginalised communities. Education and awareness play crucial roles in dismantling stereotypes and promoting inclusivity. 

Fantasy literature is a genre that has captivated readers for centuries, transporting us to imaginary worlds filled with magic, mythical creatures, and heroic quests and has recently begun to enter the mainstream. Within the realms of fantasy, the portrayal of women has evolved significantly over time, reflecting societal changes and challenging traditional gender roles. But the representation of women in fantasy literature and their roles as protagonists, warriors, leaders, and complex...

Masculine hegemony is the acceptance that men have rights to authority, and therefore, it is only natural that men are overrepresented in positions of leadership. In the realm of sports, this principle justifies the current statistics on sports leadership.

The lack of access and affordability to mental health treatment make it difficult to manage, which is why we need universal basic healthcare, which is the only way to ensure everyone gets the help they need and not just the few who can afford it.

Jayvon, known on social media as Original Keith, is a student, educator, and activist whose focus is on the upliftment of the black community in the US.

We talk about black identity, books, and police killings of unarmed black Americans. Please support Jayvon by donating to his Cashapp on $JayvonT22.

The crux of the issue when discussing privilege and how many misunderstand the term is that having privilege does not mean that an individual is immune to life’s hardships, but it does mean having an unearned benefit or advantage one receives in society by nature of their identity.

I have a great chat more than an interview with Len Pennie, a Scottish poet and Scots language and mental health advocate, who is also a dear friend and fellow feminist writer.

In relationships with white people, we have structures of internalised superiority and internalised inferiority that have resulted in white people overestimating their human value or are unencumbered by race, and people of colour underestimating their worth based on race.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Some people with ASD have a known difference, such as a genetic condition. Other causes are not yet known. Scientists believe there are multiple causes of ASD that act together to change the most common ways people develop. We still have much to learn about these causes and how they impact people with ASD.

Beauty has everything to do with how the world sees us and everything to do with how we choose to show ourselves to the world. In the world’s insistence that we, as brown-skinned people with brown histories, aspire to be as white as possible, any sort of celebration and marking of brownness as good is undesirable for whiteness to flourish.
