I anledning dagen anbefaler katten min å lesa Vivian Gornick.

Her representert ved boka Den odde kvinnen og byen (The Odd Woman and the City). Men memoaren Heftige bånd (Fierce Attachments) er også veldig, veldig god. Begge bøkene er omsette til norsk av Johanne Fronth-Nygren for Forlaget Oktober.

I anledning mannsdagen, som er i dag, anbefaler eg å lesa Maya Mikdashi sin artikkel "Can Palestinian Men be Victims? Gendering Israel's War on Gaza" frå sommaren 2014: https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/30991

Can Palestinian Men be Victims? Gendering Israel's War on Gaza

Every morning we wake up to an updated butcher’s bill: one hundred, two hundred, four hundred, six hundred Palestinians killed by Israel’s war apparatus as of this writing. These numbers gloss over many details: the majority of Gazans, one of the mos

Freedom for the One Who Thinks Differently
An open letter from a group of Jewish artists, writers, and scholars in Germany

"Bans on demonstrations and their violent enforcement only provoke and escalate violence. We also contend that the perceived threat of such assemblies grossly inverts the actual threat to Jewish life in Germany, where, according to the federal police, the “vast majority” of anti-Semitic crimes—around 84 percent—are committed by the German far right. If this is an attempt to atone for German history, its effect is to risk repeating it."

Freedom for the One Who Thinks Differently

What frightens us is the prevailing atmosphere of racism and xenophobia in Germany, hand in hand with a constraining and paternalistic philo-Semitism. We reject in particular the conflation of anti-Semitism and any criticism of the state of Israel.

Ein gong i tida var bussane i Bergen gule, det hadde dei alltid vore og eg hadde fått eit dikt på trykk i studentavisa Studvest

A Dangerous Conflation: Open letter from Jewish writers, artists, and activists:

"WE ARE JEWISH WRITERS, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic. Israel and its defenders have long used this rhetorical tactic to shield Israel from accountability, dignify the US’s multibillion-dollar investment in Israel’s military, obscure the deadly reality of occupation, and deny Palestinian sovereignty. Now, this insidious gagging of free speech is being used to justify Israel’s ongoing military bombardment of Gaza and to silence criticism from the international community.

We condemn the recent attacks on Israeli and Palestinian civilians and mourn such harrowing loss of life. In our grief, we are horrified to see the fight against antisemitism weaponized as a pretext for war crimes with stated genocidal intent."

A Dangerous Conflation

We reject antisemitism in all its forms, including when it masquerades as criticism of Zionism or Israel’s policies. We also recognize that, as journalist Peter Beinart wrote in 2019, “Anti-Zionism is not inherently antisemitic—and claiming it is uses Jewish suffering to erase Palestinian experience.”

Finished applying the first vinyl mural to the Niger Delta Hell Bus today here in Port Harcourt. It's a tribute to the Ogoni Nine, climate activists who were framed and executed by the Abacha regime and Shell on November 10th 1995, after their protests and community organising interrupted Shell's rampant destruction of the Niger Delta.

The quote is Ken Saro Wiwa's last words before he was hanged: "Lord take my soul, but the struggle continues..."

Godt! men ikkje bra nok: «Styret i Norges Sjakkforbund er enstemmige på at Fide bør slippe til transkvinner i kvinneklassen. Men de protesterer ikke mot hele regelverket.»

Norge gjør opprør mot transkvinne-forbud: – Diskriminerende

Sjakken innførte nye regler for transpersoner. Da ble det bråk. – Dette problemet har aldri eksistert.
