Varias veces escuché el último episodio de @PresuntoPodcast sobre la relación entre @petrogustavo, el periodismo y la @FLIP_org. Mucho me temo que es, probablemente, su episodio más malo. Está lleno de contradicciones y ligerezas.

open.spotify.com/episode/2IbxYi…

Va hilo 🧵 :
El episodio empieza, como de costumbre, con @SaraTrejos introduciendo el tema y los distintos problemas que implica. Habla de los problemas de ciertos tipos de cubrimiento y de los sesgos racistas contra @FranciaMarquezM y el desequilibrio informativo en contra del gobierno.
Sara termina con una excelente pregunta, que sintetiza bastante bien el problema que se revela en todo este asunto de Petrus, los medios y la FLIP, pero que, por desgracia, no vuelve a ser abordada nunca más en el episodio: ¿Libertad de prensa o libertad de propaganda?

This will make some of you uncomfortable. I’ve decided to post it anyway because I’ve spent my whole life uncomfortable in this country. You’ll survive.

Don’t hit me w/a #NotAll, either. Use that energy to work on the white women in your life this 100% applies to. YOU know them.
If you are upset or offended by this thread ask yourself: Where the lie resides about white women as collective?

If you don’t like the tone or language, ask yourself: What’s more indecent…the turn of phrase or the voting statistics that caused the original poster to say it all?
This is no longer about your feelings or discomfort or your tears.

We have seen them all weaponized on camera for years — that Karen name just rolls off y’all these days.

You’ve leaned in like the folks stealing porch packages right in front of ring cams in broad daylight.

If you want to see a PERFECT example of a Karen attempting to weaponize her tears to get what she wants even if it ultimately causes bodily harm to a Black person, watch this.

As you watch, I want you to notice a few things…

*This will be a thread because I’m now annoyed*

1/
1) She thought that if she yelled for help & cried she would immediately get her way.

Why? Because historically that has always worked for them. That’s why they do it.

They don’t care if someone gets hurt. When inconvenienced — or God forbid, DENIED — yell for help & cry.

2/
2) When she saw she was being recorded she popped that work badge off her neck with the quickness.

Why? Because she saw that camera and knew that social media sleuths would have her name, job site and shoe size by lunch time.

She knew her antics would jeopardize that job.

@dasilva_p13 1/n Hu hu hu.
On peut défendre le service public sans être d'extrême-gauche.
Votre généralisation est nulle.
Vous êtes pour l'extinction des soins primaires libéraux sur un modèle hospitalocentré, ce qui est une erreur.
@dasilva_p13 2/n 50 % des MG sont désormais des salariés et parmi les salariés l'extrême majorité, c'est à dire les non praticiens, ne prennent pas de gardes.
@dasilva_p13 3/n Les conditions de travail des MG libéraux sont catastrophiques et vous voulez charger la barque en proposant des consultations sans RV qui sont la négation de la médecine efficiente en soins primaires.

The same people that have been lecturing genocide survivors on how to respond to our perpetrators and policing our conversations to ensure that we always highlight #NotAllSerbs are the same people that are perfectly fine with punishing every single Russian for Putin's actions.
There has never been a genocide event in which I have not seen a genocide survivor from Bosnia or Cambodia or Rwanda or even the Holocaust have to highlight that they do not hate every single member of the genocidaires ethnic/national group b/c otherwise people are uncomfortable.
Every single event I have been to and I have both been to and organised thousands of these types of events at this point...has had genocide survivors highlight #NotAll members of that ethnic/national group participated in the genocide...and yet suddenly?

A 🧵 for my non-adopted friends: If a person talks about adoption in a negative way, please don’t dismiss it with a tale of your mailman’s sister’s neighbor’s daughter who had a “good experience”.

She is me.

And while I had a “good experience”, I am not ok for it. 1/
How many people do you know that will openly talk about their trauma with you? Adoptees are particularly good at keeping on a happy face because we’ve been asked to play pretend our entire lives. What you see on the surface in no way means there is not a war raging inside us. 2/
National Adoption Awareness Month, #NAAM, is November. Please let the #adoptees in your life know that you’re an ally and recognize the complexity that adoption brings beyond the publicly accepted ☀️ and 🌈 narrative. 3/

For men out there who feel they should say or do something in response to the justified anger and dismay following the murder of another woman. Speak to women in your life. Listen. Read female writers, academic literature. Visit websites of women's groups.
Donate to charities that advocate for women. That support women. Teach your sons what you weren't taught. Look yourself in the mirror. Recall the entitlement. The objectification. The 'banter'. Bring into your awareness the pornography you stumbled on then actively sought out.
Make amends to women (where it is appropriate and not simply to purge your guilt). Reexamine your sex conduct. Create new ideals for intimacy to which you can aspire. Cut down on porn or stop completely. If you can't, seek support.

Of course #NotAll, Nafiza 🙄

However Islam sanctions:

-beating of women (Quran 4:34)

-marital rape (Sahih Muslim 1436d)

-beating of children (Sunan Abu Dawud 495)

and other atrocities I endured by ppl who were following the edicts of their religion.

goodreads.com/en/book/show/4…
Many Muslims denounce the violence, homophobia, misogyny etc in their religion and choose to cherry pick those parts out. And that’s great. But the uncomfortable reality remains that ppl who want to engage in those acts have religious justification to support them.
This preamble from Bari before a talk w her and Ayaan is poignant. Apparently only some “women of color” speaking about our “authentic experiences” matter.

Combien d'hommes seraient violeurs ?

1 femme sur 6 est victime de viol (chiffre estimé : seulement 10% des femmes victimes de viol porteraient plainte).
49% des viols sont commis par le conjoint ou l'ex.

On a donc AU MOINS 1 homme sur 12 qui a violé SA CONJOINTE.
À cela s'ajoutent les victimes d'inceste : 1 enfant sur 10, un agresseur homme dans la grande majorité des cas.

Puis les agressions commises par les proches : dans 83% des cas, la victime connaît son agresseur.

Enfin, loin derrière, les "inconnus dans une ruelle sombre".
#NotAll, mais TROP pour que l'on ait la moindre confiance.
#NotAll, mais TROP pour qu'on vous confie nos enfants.
#NotAll, mais TROP pour que nos filles soient en sécurité.
#NotAll, mais TROP pour qu'on aille à nos 1ers rdv avec vous sans copine pour nous guetter de loin.

@YasMohammedxx @KDRasmussen You keep *interpreting* me. I don’t need to change my mind because I never took back the invitation. Likewise I never said anything like you insinuate above.

I believe the problem here is different. Let’s choose something unemotional to illustrate.
@YasMohammedxx @KDRasmussen Let’s say you said “Mammals are furry and give live birth.”

I might respond and say “No. That’s not true. Echidna are a counter example.”

You might respond “I know #NotAll mammals. I never said that.”

I’d say “No. The point is that the exceptions show the description is off.”
@YasMohammedxx @KDRasmussen You might say “Well. The vast majority of mammals give live birth.”

I might say “Perhaps, but the shift from the incorrect description is critically important. It’s the difference between a phylogenetic and descriptive understanding of biology. It’s not correct minus epsilon.”

It’s that time of the year again! The 9 days of festivities, Navaratri is here! Celebrated in various parts of the country in various ways, the festival is special for several reasons. #Navratri #Navaratri2019 #Thread
From the familiar golu in TN to Navaratri fasting concluding with the grand celebrations of Dasami or Dusshera depending on which part of India you're in, the festival is filled with lore, legend and backstories found in Itihasas and Puranas.
#Navratri #Navaratri2019
Some of you may remember that last year during the 9 days of #Navratri, we spoke about 9 kritis of the Navavaranas dedicated to goddess Kamalaamba,composed by Muthuswami Dikshithar. Here’s the thread if you’d like to jog through it. #Navaratri2019

In spite of his life of ostentatious sin, the Christian Right loves Trump. People like Pence and Falwell Jr. eagerly facilitate his authoritarianism. Today I want to introduce you to another far-right Christian playing that role. You might recognize him.
Bill Barr is on a mission from God. He's railed against secularism and the separation of church and state, and "called for the imposition of 'God’s law' in America."

We do. We keep saying it, but no one wants to listen. The question starts w a false premise: no one is suddenly inspired to join ISIS. This indoctrination starts from birth. The idea that Islam will rule the world. A Caliphate will rise and when it does, we must join the fight
/1
We’re told that all non-believers are the enemy and they must be killed. This is a common theme in mosques and madrasas across the world. Joining ISIS is the punctuation at the end of a very long sentence. It’s a long, slow process and we’e only looking at the conclusion

The father of one of the #BethnalGreen girls stood shoulder to shoulder w Anjem Chaudhry and Lee Rigsby’s killer at extremist rallies...where he took his 13 yr old daughter. Rallies where they screamed about violence to the West and burned flags. This is what she was taught.

Definitely one of the most helpful tweets/threads of 2018: #9ReplyGuys
In fact, @sbarolo 's thread above is so good that I want to translate it into Japanese. I hope you don't mind, Scott?
(The translation is partial and rather loose, but hopefully it'll carry the essence of your ideas.)
最初のツイートで引用したスレッドの部分翻訳です。もとは、女性科学者にあれこれしょうもないことを言ってくる男性についてですが、応用は効くと思います。#9ReplyGuys

Hats off to the New York Times for seeing a blue wave building in Texas… and finding a way to center white evangelical women.
It’s not that this story isn’t interesting or newsworthy. It’s that there are thousands of interesting, newsworthy stories, and the Times spends a disproportionate amount of time covering white conservatives.
This article is like an ad for #NotAll white evangelical women, playing up “an under-the-radar web” of compassionate conservatives while downplaying the over the radar majority and the broader social and political impacts of white evangelicals.

Je vais vous montrer un exemple les mecs, suivez bien:
Ici cette personne demande aux féministes de se remettre en question dans leurs rapports aux personnes transgenre.
Je suis feministe.
Je me considère comme une alliée.
Je pourrais donc venir gueuler avec un #NotAllFeministes
Seulement voilà, je me remets en question: il y a des féministes EXTRÊMEMT transphobe.
Du coup peut être que cette personne fait allusions à d'autres personnes de ce groupe auquel je me sens une appartenance, les féministes, en tant que groupe donc, pas en visant chaque individu.
A ce stade il serait facile d'etre sympa, de me dire: ça ne me concerne pas, je ne suis pas visée par ce tweet comme tous les hommes ne sont pas visés par les "men a trash".
SAUF QUE c'est pas le moment de s'arrêter dans la remise en question.
