A very valuable conversation between @ayoub and Amos Goldberg.

'In this episode, the second part of their conversation, they get into the crisis within Holocaust and Genocide Studies since the start of the Gaza genocide.

In the last segment, they spoke about “The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History”, which Goldberg co-edited, and argue for the necessity of new horizons in our imaginaries."

This was really good, hopeful, encouraging on the political situation & #community. Also a reminder to kind of get over yourself and just do stuff. If you need that right now.

@xgranade #HopeIsADiscipline, if you will

Hope is a discipline that must be cultivated.

Check out our new article arguing for critical need for hope in social organising

Do you know what scared looks like? Trying to buy out communication platforms to inhibit further global networks of people opposing your domineering desires that are killing the Earth's ecosystem and with that our species.

They are actually weak and are blustering up, throwing money around in a frenzy and trying to appear strong.

We are more, we are stronger, we are especially stronger if we quit bickering about differences and being critiqued from people on our general side of things.

@anakita #HopeIsADiscipline and this is a great tool for that discipline of the mind! #AltText: Two panel drawing. Cute anime girl with bluish hair and huge purple eyes holds up a sign in each panel. The first says: 'If our struggle was hopeless, their propoganda would be unnecessary.' The 2nd says, 'keep going." 💜

In 2021 #MariameKaba made a list of 9 solidarity commitments for people who want to be part of supporting incarcerated people, one of which was to write at least six letters to an incarcerated person that year.

I'm really glad I did this and am looking forward to another year writing to three regular penpals.

Sharing Kaba's list for anyone interested in becoming a penpal or other solidarity actions in 2023.

@abolitionbb Thanks for the disclosure.

Curious to hear your favorite takeaways from #MariameKaba #AngelaDavis and #RuthWilsonGilmore

I'll have to read more about #Balagoon

I often think of Kaba's assertion that #HopeIsADiscipline when I get overwhelmed from doing too much #doomscrolling

Kaba posted the following questions on another platform and it's been a really helpful approach toward understanding sociopolitical issues and holding myself accountable for the ways I show up in the movement space

Repost from #MariameKaba

Questions I ask myself when outraged about injustice:
1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself?
2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?
3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them?
4. How can I be constructive?

Beautiful episode of one of my fav podcasts, Movement Memos.
