Yesterday marked 14 years since Egypt's Maspero Massacre.

Live ammunition was used, APCs ran over, and media incited against peaceful protesters who had gathered to demonstrate against an Aswan church's demolition.

28 were killed and hundreds were injured on that dark, dark day.

I got interviewed for the Deadbeat Philosophy podcast, talking about Audre Lorde's thought and her impact, including why philosophers should care.

Lorde's work makes a demand of her readers, and I think more philosophers and theorists need to answer to it

Watching all the videos of everyday ppl’s resistance to ICE has me thinking about this observation by Audre Lorde, on what US freedom fighters can learn from South Africa

Lorde: "Like the volcano... in any revolutionary process there's a period of intensification & a period of explosion. We must become familiar with the requirements & symptoms of each period, & use the differences between them to our mutual advantage, learning & supporting each other’s battles." 4/4

A thought-provoking discussion of Audre Lorde and of Alexis's wonderful book. @keeanga.bsky.social makes an interesting case that Lorde's politics of coalition and difference departed from the identity politics of CRC, and she's right on about Lorde's focus on the personal dimension of revolution 1/

London Review of Books @lrb.co.uk · 9d

‘Lorde offered a politics that dealt in the realities of survival as well as the necessity of defiance: she refused to give ground to white feminists or to a Black nationalism that assumed women’s subservience.’
