Howdy, y'all. I'm new to Blacksky, so thought I'd write up an #introduction post.
I'm an anarchist with an anarcha-feminist framework. I believe we can build a world without white supremacy (without whiteness), and without patriarchy, capitalism, and other systems of domination.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

It’s not surprising that Assata Shakur is not one of the most well-known names in U.S. history – even though she should be.
That is par for the course when it comes to Black heroes, so we must make sure that this Black woman and her relevance to our movement remain visible.
