the french senate has voted so that no girl below the age of 18 can wear hijab or niqab in public and that no hijab-wearing muslim mothers can accompany children on school field trips. furthermore, the french government is moving to ban halal slaughter of poultry by july 2021 on the grounds this method of slaughter has been deemed “less humane” than standard french practice.

primarily white “feminists” who otherwise advocate for bodily autonomy have either been silent or explicitly supported the first piece of legislation. here is a change.org petition created to oppose the hijab/niqab ban. as a reminder, when you go to sign, do not select the option to donate: none of the funds go to the cause. when you’re signing, use numbers from 75001 to 75021 (french zip codes) because international/fake zip codes will invalidate your signature (via zhongsliang on twitter).

i’ll be adding more information/links as i get them so please check the original post for the latest updates!

edit 1:  if you’re using one of the above zip codes, enter paris when prompted for your city (via varonasdarling on twitter).

edit 2: here are two more petitions (1, 2); use the same instructions as above when signing.

edit 3: parisian zip codes only go up to 75020! do not use 75021.

hi everyone, i know it’s been a while since i’ve been active, but i’m fortunately about to graduate from school finally ! in order to complete my BA in sociology, i have a research project that i’ve been working on for a few years now. my study is over minority women’s experiences within higher education. 

~ the purpose of this project is to provide a better understanding of the individualized experiences that female-identifying minority individuals have had regarding their pursuit and/or employment of higher education. if you fit the criteria to participate in my survey, i would SO appreciate your participation and input in my research! below is the link to the survey, thanks so much <3

one of breonna taylor's murderers was charged with wanton endangerment for firing into her neighbors' apartments. not for murderering a young woman in her home. but for property damage. no other charges were filed.

if you can, now would be a good time to donate to the Louisville bail fund. hundreds of protesters are currently marching with a long day ahead.

black lives matter.

The Lebanese Red Cross updated their donation site so that you would not need to sign up or download an app to donate. Here is the link supportlrc.app/donate to share with others

Anyways donate to the red cross in Beirut to help the wounded from that aweful explosion. Lebanon has a corrupt government and any strange donation links could just be handing money to the goverment. The red cross is safe and is a guaranteed way of helping those affected by the explosion.

I saw someone on my dash saying that the word “chile” is not from black culture. Allow me to educate you.

The term “chile” is a aave from black culture.  It is a play on the word child. If you are going to use black slang please educate yourself on where it comes from. 

AAVE is an acronym for African American Vernacular English. Other terms for it in academia are African American Varieties of English, African American English (AAE), Black English (BE) and Black English Vernacular (BEV).

Just because black culture and slang has become popular culture, doesn’t mean you get to diminish where it comes from.
