the X logo has such extreme 'marketing for toxic men' energy i kind of expect it to be a deodorized zero calorie soft drink made of razors and vape pens

Rude

Taste 🤌🏾

See I knew you’d get it, I knew you’d understand

I think I’m gonna still call them posts tbh lol

I will never get past posts being called skeets I’m sorry. I associate that word with something else entirely 🤣

That user did the same thing to me when I tweeted an Irish person telling a joke on TikTok and he replied with “European humour”, i said there’s no such thing and he came back w a similar response to the ones he’s given you. He is wilfully ignorant and seems resistant to different perspectives.

I dunno whatchoo wanna discuss but here's a pretty picture of the latest shawl I made to surprise a lovely scholar who deserves a love-wrap. Someone on the other App said it looked like pretty chainmail. I like the idea of giving pretty armor to ppl fighting yt supremacy. #RepublicOfYarnia

Yay! I love finding Twitter mutuals

I love it!!! I love it more because of how clearly in love with it you are!

I live in awe that the UK has produced a person whose surname is "Money-Coutts" and who writes stuff like this.

Africa : How France Continues to Dominate Its Former Colonies in Africa – CADTM In France's former African colonies, imperialist monetary policies from Paris continue to cripple domestic economies and undermine democracy. Colonialism in Africa won't have meaningfully come to…

Africa: How France Continues to Dominate Its Former Colonies in Africa - CADTM

A screenshot of a tweet. The tweet reads (autotranslated from French): “Say @gofundme is it your policy to make Arab killers millionaires? I hope you let the kitty rise only for the profit you get from it and that you block access to it like during the pandemic with the freedom convoy!” In this tweet is a screenshot of a gofundme page. The gofundme features an image of police officers on motorbikes. Below it, some text which reads: “Soutien pour la famille du policier de Nanterre 801914 € récoltés sur un objectif de 50000 € 40.1k dons”

Over €800k has been raised for the officer who shot and killed Nahel Merzouk in Nanterre, Paris

In 2015 I learned that the French committed a massacre of Algerians in Paris in 1961. Sign reads, "Here we drown Algerians." I thought of it as the anti-racist rebellion in France continues. The sign says, "Here we drown Algerians."

How the Black Family Was Colonised (& How It Made You Hate Black Single Mums) | Black in Britain In this video, I explore the process by which Black single mothers and Black non nuclear families came to be vilified, via colonialism, capitalism and racism...

On the day after Mother’s Day this year in the UK, I uploaded a video going over where the stigma associated with Black single mothers comes from, including the development of the gender binary under cis heteropatriarchy, how it was imposed via religion and colonialism, and how it looks today.

A YouTube thumbnail In the bottom left is an image of Jay from Hyphenated History UK YouTube channel. Behind her is an image of Charles III looking down at a Black woman who is kneeling on the floor leaning against him with a joyous expression on her face. Next to them is an image of Meghan Markle holding a bouquet of flowers and leaning down into a handshake with a Black hand reaching out to her. The text hovering above them reads “..really?” And it’s all set against a stark blue background, in keeping with the style/branding for videos on Britain on this particular channel

(I was not happy with the framing of the Harry & Meghan documentary in relation to Black people and race in the UK. At all. You can make a one off donation to my Buy Me A Coffee or sign up to my Patreon for access; I don’t want my thoughts to end up in the hands of racists (or the Sussex Squad))

The Fear of the "Other": Racialisation in the UK and Europe | British Basics In this video, I explore how racialisation operates in the UK and the rest of Europe, including a definition of what it actually is (as a verb).0:00 - Introd...

🇬🇧 loves to make out that race is apparently only an issue in 🇺🇸, yet an American, Meghan Markle, did feel the blunt end of racism until she came here. Why? In fact, what is Racialisation and othering? What is Whiteness? Where did it come from? What tf is Europe? Watch this and find out.

"United we stand?": "BAME", Class, and a Deep Dive of our Dynamics | British Basics In this video, I explore the long relationship among both those colonised by the British, and also the working class (with many overlaps). The good, the bad ...

After Sunak was announced as the first non white PM, I felt it necessary to explore the dynamics among minoritised + colonised ppl throughout history to now.
I also break down the relationship the white working class have had with the rest of the global + non white working class throughout history.

Imperialism and BBE: The History of Language Discrimination Against Black People in the UK In this video, I explore British language dynamics, both colonial and domestic, and how Multicultural London English (MLE) fits in.0:00 - Introduction4:12 - ...

Linguistic discrimination is a time honoured British tradition that continues today. I go over the history of this, linguistic racism, and how we as Black people came to even end up perpetuating it ourselves (if “he sounds like a freshie haha” means anything to you, this is for you).

Labour, the Tories and Their Relationship with Race & Identity Politics | British Basics In this video, I explore how the two major political parties engage with ethnic identity, with particular focus on the Conservative Party. I also interrogate...

Here I debunk the idea that “identity politics” is a) derogatory and b) non existent in the UK, or was until us pesky America-brainwashed minorities came along and ruined everything apparently. I also explore how the Conservative Party have actually been using “diversity” for their own gain.

Mental Health, Respectability Politics & Taboo: The History and Influence | Black in Britain In this video, I explore the history of Victorian respectability politics, how it was spread to Black people via colonialism + its enduring influence, its in...

In this one I go over everything from the British class system to the spread of Victorian respectability across the Empire, and how all of this + the role of religion plays into our approach to our mental health. I also discuss the long history of mental health discrimination from colonialism to now

Belonging, Exclusion and National Identity | Black in Britain In this video, I look at how dynamics with both the British state and our countries of descent impact Black people's sense of belonging to a national identit...

This wouldn’t be a 2nd generation kid’s channel if there wasn’t a video exploring identity. In fact, it’s a theme that comes up a lot in my content. Here, I talk about everything from the British Nationality Act, to the Hostile Environment, and our relationship with our roots and our families abroad
