… the night fish… blue and bright as galaxies… … drifting in the evening time… stories about to spill from their underbite maw… … I adore short stories… and i especially adore a story when someone says… this is my favorite… I listen to music I may not like and podcasts I find tedious and uncomfy… on the promise this is someone’s favorite… and it could be mine too… … I play radio shows and watch documentaries… just so I can listen to the voiceover… a story about the rainforest or a bug… the question of if there are parts of the body that come in a set of three (yes… a heart valve)… … I want to seek out stories on the bias… want the night fish, that haunts the souls of others… to tell me I will love it… before I know if I will love it… … I hope you have a night fish telling you this will be your favorite yet… the night fish … just a haunting on impulse that spills out stories about the stories that are your favorite… telling us there is more out there to learn and think and laugh on… … more to devour… … I hope you seek out stories with a bias…

Global Healing Festival is one of our ways of giving Black women and Black folks their flowers while they’re still alive! Over the past 5 years the most brilliant folks have been our honored guests and it’s truly an honor! Too often we wait until folks are dead to even mention their name and the impact they’ve had on us. And in the case of Black women there are many folks outright stealing Black women’s intellectual labor while giving no credit. Getting book deals and building entire businesses off the backs of Black women, while Black women struggle. There is no present day liberatory movement that isn’t directly influenced by the brilliance of Black women. Let’s make it part of our culture to celebrate Black women now and not only when they’re dead. Global Healing Festival is 7 days away! Join us on May 17th for a full day online retreat and let’s bask in the brilliance of some amazing Black women and femmes and give them their flowers! 💐 Comment FESTIVAL to receive the RSVP link or head over to the link in bio @embodiedblackgirl We can’t wait to be together for what will be an amazing day! 💛 #embodiedblackgirl #GlobalHealingFestival

Today I hear Howard Zinn’s words -- “There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people,” and think about the silence of many American Christians, who say “we love God and country.” ✨ Friends, like many of you, my heart is broken open again and again; what a week, not for us, but our Palestinian siblings, who are living this nightmare; it is a horror many among us, are willing to turn away from in the name of “honoring the peace.” And I ask them, how can you find solace in the midst of collective suffering?” ✨ We are called, as people of faith, to stand in active solidarity with the oppressed not prop up the powerful. >>> TAP through to read my thoughts and videos: @munther.isaac via @christatthecheckpoint, @democracynow voices of Rafah, MLK on moral obligations to resist unjust laws via @saulwilliams. ♥️ Click the link in our bio to tap into the action tool kit from @amnesty.

Hey sis👋🏽, welcome to the fun world of Rachel Ann! ☀️I’m a Christian holistic life coach, who loves to remind Christian women of color of their worth.👏🏽 I support my clients to where they wanna be in life by getting real with God, themselves, and their goals. 🧠Before coaching, I was a psychotherapist. I have two masters degrees in counseling psychology; so now I’m kinda like a psycho-coach, if you will. 🇪🇬I’m Egyptian, more specifically Coptic. We’re the Black & Indigenous people of Egypt, the direct descendants of pharaohs. I’ve struggled with this aspect of my identity but lately, I’ve been doing a deep dive and am truly loving it. 💛I‘ve been happily married for 2.5 years now. I have 6 plants and by the grace of God, they’re still alive. And if you hadn‘t known already, I’m a hugeeeee mushroom coffee & matcha girlie. 👍🏽Authenticity is my jam. Some days my hair is perfectly done, other days we’re rockin’ frizz. I show up as my authentic self and invite you to, too! 🙌🏽Currently I’m on a journey to eat cleaner, understand and embrace my neurodivergent brain, and decolonizing my theology. I find that much of the Christian life is wrestling with God. ❤️‍🩹I believe that much of healing and growing is in unlearning unhealthy-but-normalized cultural norms, and the work can be painful but is definitely worth it. 👇🏽Anything else you would like to know? Feel free to drop them below. And share a bit about yourself, I’d love to get to know you!

You can be deeply spiritual AND still be hit hard by the current state of the world. Your practice, your yoga, your life is still valuable and valid even if you can't afford a lavish retreat, the newest on-trend class, or attending another high ticket teacher training right now. . Keep finding ways to move ahead, in integrity and with respect for the folks open to helping you get there while likely doing the same. We all are touched in some way by the rising cost of everything and doing our best to make the best of it all. Keep doing what you can, where you can, when you can - with an open and honest heart. We see you. We are you. You are doing an amazing job. . .

Sweet, fierce ones, Thank you for receiving the medicine & messages. It is my deep honor to serve and to be here with you. I know it is difficult to share how we feel in times of genocides - given our privilege of not experiencing it first hand. AND ALSO, I deeply know that we MUST share because it is how WE STAY HUMAN. Beloved, do you SEE? We are not robots...OF COURSE it hurts, of course we are struggling and to share this doesn't make us weak or self-centered. It makes us HUMAN. You know? I believe it's crucial for us to share our humanity ALONGSIDE our showing up for Palestine, Sudan, Congo...because otherwise the colonizer succeeds through having us dehumanize ourselves too. Do you SEE? We can be strong and show up for this sacred work AND still honor our humanity. & this I believe is essential to the work. At least in my book it is, part of the intention of my decolonial work is to REHUMANIZE us...to no longer collude with the harm that the colonizer programmed us into AND so that we no longer collude with the fragmentation and desecration of ourselves and the sacred . This is where the SPIRITUAL comes in... We need BOTH to bring forth the prophecies of harmony and balance and to materialize our liberation. This I share with you beloveds, to take heart because the prophecies are actually on the side of great change ...for a return to the sacred...for a return to harmony and balance. There is great pain ...how I wish it wasn't here...& also there is great POSSIBILITY. May we be held. May we continue to show up for our sacred responsibility 🦅. If you are feeling called to my teachings & medicine, I call you in to my current offering. It is a journey for where people who have begun their anti-racism & spiritual journey and are seeking to break the colonial cycle in their lineage, who understand the need to decolonize & are seeking to join in right relation & rooted in our Earth Mother. Decolonial Shadow work: Unlearning the Whte Colonial Mind is a 12 week journey & is the deeper spiritual work needed. Early enrollment is available until tomorrow. Join us in bio link 🤲🏽 May you answer the call. So much LOVE 💛

For those not on the @clearlyclinical distribution list, this is a powerful conversation with @jabrsamah that you can listen to for free on YouTube (episode 208). I’m learning a ton not only about treating Palestinians, but about the limits of the DSM and its oh so white approaches that apply only in limited contexts, the power of communal healing, and all kinds of things I’m not taught to think about as a white therapist in a white culture. I am grateful. #therapy #socialworkersofinstagram #therapistsofinstagram #decolonizingtherapy #decolonizeyourmind #therapytraining

ALL EYES ON RAFAH. NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET. Please listen to my friend @tahahayammm7 story and support her evacuation fund. She is currently a refugee living in a tent in Rafah! Her and her family have tried to leave Rafah but there is literally NO WHERE for them to go at this point and no where in Gaza is safe from the israeli occupation forces and bombings. It would be incredible to fulfill the campaign while we wait for the Rafah border to reopen to give them hope as they endure horrors beyond our ability to comprehend. If you would like to donate or boost the link is I N M Y B I O !!!!! Please pray for the safety of Hayam and her family and all of Palestine!

Posted @withregram • @voicesof_theoppressed 🔻 Antisemitism Awareness Act Overview The Antisemitism Awareness Act proposes to redefine antisemitism in federal law by adopting the framework provided by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). The claim of an increase in antisemitic incidents on college campuses drives this initiative. It aims to integrate this definition into Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This move seeks to enhance protections against antisemitism within educational settings. 🔻 Implications of the Expanded IHRA Definition The IHRA definition is comprehensive, targeting traditional antisemitic behaviors and specific criticisms of Israel, which has led to a debate about free speech. Concerns have been raised that this broad definition might restrict academic and political discussions, especially regarding Israeli policies, by potentially labeling critical discourse as antisemitic. This has ignited discussions on the balance between combating hate and preserving freedom of expression. 🔻 Bipartisan Support and Civil Resistance The bill has garnered some bipartisan support, with supporters emphasizing the need to address the surge in antisemitism, particularly in academic institutions. However, significant resistance comes from civil rights groups and some lawmakers who argue that the bill's broad scope could conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, thereby infringing on free speech and academic freedom. 🔻 Legislative Progress and Potential Societal Impact After passing through the House, the bill has now moved to the Senate. This next stage will be crucial in determining whether the bill can effectively address the issue of antisemitism while protecting individuals' constitutional rights to free speech. 🌐: U.S. News; source 📸: @voicesof_theoppressed 🔖: nature_and_race #noprideingenocide #whitesupremacyisterrorism #explore #breakthechain #decolonizeyourmind #fypge #fyp#explorar #wakeupworld #imagine

We are in the thick of this intense awakening of collective consciousness. The revolution has been happening, now reaching its climax as we bravely dismantle & disrupt oppressive systems, & rally against the injustices that plague our communities. Whether donating, protesting, boycotting, conversing & continuously learning - we stand together, our voices fiercely echo a resounding call for change. A new era of equality, justice, compassion & environmental guardianship. Keep at it. This awakening will take time & requires our dedication & patience. Sometimes it is hard to see the progress amidst the chaos & heartbreak. Remember we are conduits of transition. Birthed into this time with the light of the most high, the most divine pulsating through every cell of ours. Equipped with ethereal gifts, mystical talents & sacred potentials to uplift humanity. Each action, every step boldly paves the road to a more inclusive & harmonious future. . . . #collectiveconsciousness #collectiveawakening #socialjustice #socialactivism #equalityforall #decolonizeyourmind #decolonize #landback #caretakersoftheearth #earthmedicine #spiritualawakening #spiritualguide #collectiveevolution #globalawakening #massawakening #liberation #sovereignty

Said it once, said it twice. Here’s one more time ❤️‍🔥 To those choosing to stay in “high vibration” and not engage with darkness in yourself and in this world, this is a gentle reminder. I joined instagram early enough to have seen the first wave of the wellness / mental health trends where every other post, meme and gif was a “good vibes only” one ☝🏼 #guilty I get it, we hopped on a bandwagon of wanting to do good - to uplift spirits, to let go of toxicity and to take care of our mental and physical wellbeing with a sense of positivity. But, like many trends, it’s gone too far, and it’s now seeped way out of context. #bypassing ESPECIALLY in times of great injustice, this can be dangerous. While living a life with good vibes only would be grand, it’s just not realistic — and it’s not the reality of many in this world. Ignoring it is to ignore our interconnecteness. Life comes with the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly. It’s everything and nothing. And the sooner we embrace and accept this, the less we’ll suffer. Let’s make space for good and bad vibes my loves! It’s all welcome. It’s all part of this human experience. Keep taking care of yourself — all parts of you that you hide or think are unworthy. This is the only sure way you’ll be able to make space to see, hear and embrace others fully too. And our humanity needs this now more than ever. 🍉 #goodvibes #loveandlight #darkness #shadow #liberation #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind

Link to Google Meet, in my Bio. I’m conducting a series of online story circle focused on various aspects of identity making in context of Indigenous communities as a part of my course work. The first session is focused on Indigenous Food Systems as I felt this was a great way to start. We will explore the connection between our sense of self and our cuisine, remember the distant pasts of our ancestors and reimagine distant future of where we are heading as the food systems keep getting monopolized by giant private companies. Come join us in this exploration and unpacking of indigenous identity making process and our food systems.

No one can control you if you know the truth. That’s the world’s problem with our youth. Supremacy reigns on silence, indifference, those who follow trends to fit into the capitalist machine, with goldfish like memories, jumping on the next new thing. Palestine woke up the world. US students woke up our government. To see the endless wealth we have to carry out genocides abroad, is to see the financial abuse suffocating us at home. Silence is no longer an option for anyone with hope. The US students protesting now grew up with Sandy Hook, among many other school shootings. The Palestinian youth survived the 2014 summer of targeted bombings of children’s hospitals and schools in Gaza, among many other violent episodes. They will not back down to the cowards who harmed them then and face them now. This is the spirit of resilience that our elders passed down to us. This is the core of what our communities should move like. Our future is being forged of paths with no mercy. May the bridges we burn light the way. In our masses, in our millions, we are all Palestinians. Photographed in Chicago, IL on April 20, 2024 on a Canon A-1 with Kodak Portra 400 film.

Took my students to Fort Steele Heritage Town for an overnight field trip. We wandered the streets, peered into the historic buildings, panned for gold, made Johnny cakes, and slept in the barracks. But something seemed off to me when I read the plaques. So I did a little digging and found Sean MacPherson’s Master’s thesis (UBC, 2016) titled “Rising and Remembering: Ktunaxa History and Settler Mythology in the East Kootenay”. Here’s an excerpt.   “The general historical narrative goes something like this: Sometime after the Wild Horse gold rush, a gold miner was killed near Wild Horse Creek. A Ktunaxa man named Kapla was arrested for the murder and taken to the local prison. The Ktunaxa Chief Isadore was furious and led a group of warriors into town to break Kapla out of jail. “Panic ensued, settlers feared for their lives and Sam Steele came to the district leading the mounted “D” Division of the North West Mounted Police. He quelled the ‘uprising’ before it started and dispensed justice swiftly throughout the region, quickly restoring law and order. In a demonstration of the unbiased legal system he represented, he also dismissed Kapla’s murder case in an act of impartial fairness. Steele and Isadore left on the best of terms. As the East Kootenay Chronicle claims, “Isadore was pleased and impressed with the big mounty’s fairness.”   “The trouble is, this story is not really true. As we will see later in this thesis, there is much left untold. Ktunaxa voices are absent, larger political contexts are forgotten and transformative forces are left in the periphery. Still – even as a simplified, vague and inaccurate history – powerful elements are embedded in this story, themes that influence the way we think about history and think about ourselves today.” #ktunaxa #ktunaxaterritory #fortsteele #fortsteeleheritagetown #fieldtrip #kootenay #kootenaylife #rewritinghistory #decolonizeyourmind

feels kinda whack that i even have to write this, but i been seeing some things from some folx who should know better. and we all need to be reminded of the basics over and over again, until we level up, which can only happen TOGETHER. because none of us are free until all of us are free. #lessonsfromthematrix #getfree #decolonizeyourmind #collectiveliberation #meritocracy #whiteprivilege #checkyourprivilege #capitalismkills #stayhumble #weareallone #unityconsciousness #stayhuman #powertothepeople

➡️2nd slide Cw: b00bies :::Being of the south Asian indentured diaspora is such a complex experience—- on one hand my ethnicity as Indo-Caribbean means melding cultures with African diaspora and South American indigenous and East Asian indentured diaspora! We are so rich in that way! And being born queer first gen in nyc has really tied together perfect constellations of power and resilience furthering that collective legacy but it also has meant feeling fragmented… it can feel like a curse to constantly combat erasure, collect pieces, search high and low in places and people to find something that would tell me who I am / who we are. And yes the most beautiful thing arises in the search for self, we find friendship, collaboration, union, transformation… we unlearn, learn, we grow exponentially- catapulted by pain into a multiverse of sweetness. Yesterday I collected a piece of my story in my time with @gunga_ma - while being tattooed with kollam style symbols my grandmother arrived in my body, we both felt her in the space. I collected a piece of her…. I felt what we mean when we say decolonial… my grandmother was receiving her symbols through my body and together we held each other close remembering remembering remembering Thankful to have met @gunga_ma and many others who continue to help me to remember, recover and unveil my truth. I’ve never been to Kerala but I’ve been invited so many times. One day maybe but until thenI carry all the places people magic and love in this very abundant body. 🙏🏽Jai Maa Bhadrakali @gunga_ma is currently @good_luck_nyc check her out ✨✨✨✨🌀💀 #spiritual #shadowalchemist #queer #indocaribbean #empowerment #innerchildhealing #shadowwork #dance #intergenerationaltrauma #partswork #yoga #kali #tattoo #westindian #tantra #representationmatters #alchemist #shakti #ancestors #ancestralhealing #spiritguides #nyc #kollam #decolonizeyourmind #kaliworship #somatichealing

What does decolonization have to do with fashion? Fashion is an integral part of cultural expression and personal identity, but is often ignored or seen as frivolous in comparison to other parts of culture—maybe because it's so often associated with women's knowledge and aesthetics Fashion can also be oppressive. The forced adoption of Euro-American aesthetics was integral to colonial education in boarding schools in the United States. Eurocentric beauty and fashion standards continue to marginalize many people That is why the contemporary reclamation of Indigenous fashion is so important and inspiring—it is a powerful statement about the value and beauty of Indigenous Peoples and their historic and contemporary culture 📝🎨 @lilly.g.cohen #indigenousfashion #fashionhistory #anthropology #sustainablefashion #reclamation #cultureclothing #decolonizeyourmind

“Co-create motivating & imaginative narratives & visions.” This is another characteristic that I illustrated for the Transition Network -who use creative and participatory methods to share stories and possibilities of a healthy, just and resilient future. The first time I came across a #TransitionTown was in 2012 when I first visited Transition Heathrow. This was a land squat in London protesting against the expansion of Heathrow Airport. A beautiful place, off-grid living, gardens open to the local community, I remember riding the bicycle-powered soundsystem and hand-painting banners saying “runnerbeans not runways”. The people living there taught me about permaculture and also about resistance and resilience. It felt like home. The place was evicted after ten years of the good fight but the project lives on in other forms. #imagine #lowcarbon #community #rebuild #climate #socialjustice #transitionnetwork #decolonizeyourmind #adobe #adobeillustrator #artivism #papercutout #illustration #mountains #sky #dream #animals #art #artactivism #artwork www.transitionnetwork.org

#bookreview | MINOR DETAIL by Adania Shibli Hello there, likely best book read in 2024. Part of the experience of reading MINOR DETAIL is not knowing too much before going in, and then appreciating Shibli’s genius as the stories unfold. Her choice to use a distant third-person narration for the first story, which follows an Israeli commander in 1949, creates tension between what is narrated and what is not. There is almost word-for-word repetition of certain passages, with a deliberate lack of insight into the commander’s state of mind. These anxiety-inducing passages build up an almost unbearable amount of tension until the worst happens. Reading the second story is like receiving the code for the first story. The narrator meanders, digresses, second-guesses, and repeats herself in endless paragraphs, and it is tempting to let your eyes glaze over. However, it was astonishing to compare the repeated symbolism across both stories: the barking dog, the stifling darkness and heat, a hatred of dust and an obsession with cleanliness. Whereas the tension of the first story is unnamed but present through the agonizing repetitions of passages, the anxiety of the second is stated by the narrator herself: “I can’t stay calm. I must stay calm. I have to stay calm.” But the most unsettling and memorable theme was the depiction of how trauma in the form of oppression makes it difficult for the Palestininan people to weave together a cohesive story of themselves for a global audience. This is most evident in the interaction that the narrator has with an Israeli settler. Whereas our narrator’s stream-of-consciousness requires either all or none of our attention, the settler summarizes, in a few neat paragraphs, the story of why it is his people’s manifest destiny to settle on that land. To me, this is a powerful example of how I$r@el’s claim to the land is much more cohesive and globally accepted, compared to that of the Palestinians. It is tremendously difficult for victims of oppression to “argue their case” coherently to more privileged audiences, a fact that is even more painfully visible in the ongoing genoc!de. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, and don’t look away from Rafah.

The world is filled with many different kinds of people. Enforcing one peoples system onto the rest is nothing short of colonialism. This can be likened to forcing a puzzle piece where it does not fit. It is high time that we say NO to this type of enforcement. Delocolonisation is unquestionably necessary, however, it starts with us. How can we build societies that are not based on exploitation, consumerism and a chase to keep up with the West? How do we build societies that are empathetic, and focused on growth for all not just minorities? How do we build societies where "development" and "growth" is allowed to mean different things to different people? How do we build societies that are not dictated by Western systems of business practice, economic growth and societal functioning? #decolonizebusiness #decolonizesociety #decolonizeyourmind #businesswithpurpose #community

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and off the BC hydro grid, the Haida Nation relies on diesel generators to power their communities.

… making landscapes… places that don’t exist anymore… long trips in the car across flood plains… … when I speak on trauma… don’t devour me like a commodity… as if raw unprocessed grief has value… … don’t say this to me… ‘I am reading books from the authentic perspective until my eyes bleed… and my heart bleeds and by the time the book is done I feel I’ve run a marathon… my souls bleed…’ … don’t say this to me… because I am here to bead the sunrise and the birth and rebirth of places long dead… … and when I am done… it is a soft story of grief… not trauma… … only… I spoke with you who said white washed stories are not as valid… you meant… my unprocessed life… graphic and raw… … soft stories are white washed you said… and I want to remind you this is an idea that needs to pass… healing is the most melanin story of them all… … ignoring softness and ease in a story about trauma, is erasure… … and erasure is trauma… … do not seek the graphic nature… seek out stories of the land gouged and plundered… where the trees growing back in the rift… and things long thought dead regrow… and build families and where trauma once happened… life begins again… … healing is the most melanin story I can tell you… . . . . . I sat by the fire with someone who said they only want to hear raw and heart wrenching stories about my child hood, how the residential schools f*cked up the lives in my community… and when I said that is commoditizing trauma… This person i sat with said that when people speak softly about trauma so that it is palatable, it is not authentic… it felt as if this person was saying… healed indigenous folk, are less authentically indigenous… I have encountered this idea more than once, please let this idea pass… healing is the most indigenous thing I have ever encountered in the wild…
