🇮🇸🇪🇬Friðelskandi flökkukind sem dreymir um að vera skáld 🐏 Stundum fræði ég fólk um fordóma en oftast bara að reyna að halda sönsum.

Jæja. Búin að deactivate X. Kominn tími til. Það eina sem ég syrgi við að loka aðganginum þar var þetta tweet um pabba, sem fékk 1400+ like. Það fær vonandi framhaldslíf hér.
Ég er farin að fá líkamleg kvíðaeinkenni vegna allrar útlendingaandúðarinnar alls staðar. Flashback frá því að lenda endalaust í fordómum kemur upp við hverja frétt af orðræðu stjórnmálafólks, öll like-in við einhverjar æsifréttir og hvernig fólk út í bæ tortryggir alla með erlendar rætur.

Fasisminn kemur á fullu blasti.
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Gengum upp að Stórurð í gær, í frábæru veðri. Þvílík perla!

Eitt sem ég hef komist að síðustu ár er að ferðalög innanlands hjálpa mér að tengjast Íslandi.

Fordómar vekja stundum þá líðan að man sé óvelkomin í eigin landi en náttúran tekur mér alltaf opnum örmum og enginn getur tekið það af mér.

The explicit plan is to ethnically cleanse Gaza with US help while the whole world watches.
(AXIOS) - The director of Israel's Mossad spy agency visited Washington this week seeking U.S. help in convincing countries to take hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza, two sources with knowledge of issue tell Axios.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.

It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.

So ICE took her into custody.

The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Man hvað minn fyrrv kanadíski kærasti átti erfitt með að trúa því að Íslendingar hefðu haft eitthvað með sögu íshokkís í Kanada að gera. Trúði mér ekki fyrr en einhver frændi hans sagði mér og mömmu frá Winnipeg Falkons fyrir framan hann þegar hún kom í heimsókn til okkar út.

Geggjuð saga ❤️🇨🇦🇮🇸
On this day in 1920, the Winnipeg Falcons, representing Canada, defeated Sweden 12-1 at the Summer Olympics to capture Canada's first hockey Olympic gold.
This is the story of a fantastic hockey team.

Þegar ég er í Egyptalandi líður mér ótrúlega vel. Mamma spurði mig áðan hvort ég tengdi meira við föðurlandið en Ísland, en það er alls ekki það, heldur er bara fólk meira næs við mig hér. Ég lendi ekki í því að random fólk líti á mig tortryggnum augum eða eru köld í minn garð 🤷🏽‍♀️

As a feminist I cannot understand why people who call themselves feminist are against transrights. It takes nothing away from us. We are stronger together. Patriarchy is the only thing that benefits from this.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Ég er ekki smeykur við að kalla „fangelsið“ í El Salvador útrýmingabúðir, af því:

a) Þetta er ekki fangelsi, fólk er sent þangað án dóms og laga
b) Fólk er sent þangað í þeim tilgangi að fjarlæga það úr samfélaginu, með litla von að snúa heim
c) Fólk deyr þar úr pyntingum og vegna illra aðstæðna

Það er ekki hægt að taka stéttarvinkil í sundur frá öðrum breytum eins og kyni, þjóðerni, húðlit, kyni, kynhneigð o.s.frv. Það er enginn tilviljun að konur af erlendum uppruna eru t.d. oftast þær tekjulægstu og réttindalausustu í íslensku samfélagi. Það hlýtur að segja sig sjálft.

Skrifaði grein fyrir Heimildina um að ekkert sé fullkomið. Greinin fór í prent og eitt “ekki” sem breytti merkingu setningar í lokaorðunum gleymdist í umbrotinu. Ágætt að heimurinn taki undir og ítreki að ekkert sem manneskjan kemur nærri sé í raun fullkomið.

Nei okei, en af hverju eru svona margir að skoða Íslendingabók? Bara kósí fössari og ættfræði - eða kannski fólkið á öppunum að athuga skyldleika.

one thing im totally baffled by is how many people around me are totally blasé / not attuned / not frightened by the political situation? maybe if you're not directly affected it's easier to ignore & just think things are normal? the disconnect is so insane
