The thing about a strike that upsets a specific kind of English sensibility is that people want others to be miserable and endure hardship quietly. Very simply - a strike makes the worker’s misery everyone’s problem. As it should be.

the most enduring lesson of radical struggle is that you do not reason with state forces & their accomplices if they want you dead. No amount of rhetorical flair or pleas for “nuance” can undo the power asymmetry between a settler colonial state & the population it oppresses.

again: wear a mask & hat if you’re attending any demo/rally. Make yourself as indistinguishable as possible. ESP tell family members who are new to demos/protest. The Met police are intelligence gathering on a massive scale & asking random members of the public to snitch.

I live in fear of those people who say “if you skipped your daily pret coffee you could save X amount of money a week!” etc etc, this world is so bleak AND we have to scrimp and save every last penny?

The historical feminist refusal to concede that abortion is unlawful, the doing it anyway & helping the next person who needs one reminds us that we have never just been passive in the face of states that want us dead, we’ve built infrastructures of care to survive

necessary for those of us who “succeeded” (code: got into oxbridge) from underresourced state schools who were fed lies about intelligence to see how the algorithm quickly unravels this idea, it’s always pure dumb luck / a luck that depends on the idea of ~good~ and ~bad~ unis

So disappointing that @ukblackpride have given a stall to the Home Office, enablers of the violent, dehumanising & hostile policy that deports queer black and brown asylum seekers to their death or forces on them the most stringent and bizarre threasholds to ‘prove’ queerness.

this & every IWD, I’m thinking about how the social reproductionists are right, about workers demands, abt how our political commitments must eschew the border, not mistaking the map for the territory and how feminism as a critical method *gave* me something I still believe in.

“When police raid brothels in the name of anti-trafficking, it is often migrant sex workers who are arrested. In the UK, when victims of trafficking are ‘rescued’ by police, they can face arrest, detainment as criminals, and forcible deportation -often back to the same situation”
