    Read this heartbreaking thread on being Muslim in India today. (And then reflect on electoral democracies that act as fascist states) 💔👇🏾

    You start your day with a healthy breakfast, our day starts with a new video of a Muslim being lynched by the state or by fellow citizens.

    Very fortunate to be at an institution and department with a remarkable Black feminist tradition, as well as to have been mentored by Black women historians, all of which has instilled in me the importance of citation as a professional, ethical and political practice.

    And no matter the words we use (or not), we should be judged by our practices in shifting and transforming power, in multiple (interlinked) systems of oppression.

    It's why we call ourselves anti-colonial feminists, engaged in an ongoing process of decolonising (starting with ourselves).

    The loss of your homeland is a disorienting experience. It is a knot of pained confusion that can't be untangled. I don't understand the threads. My mind wants to make it simple. Will I see the moon from Afghan soil again? Or watch the light change as day turns to night in Kabul?
