Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma.

Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

Interestingly enough, the usually libel happy Dan Wootton didn't sue @bylinetimes.bsky.social, when they broke the story about him allegedly catfishing male colleagues.

He also kept quiet on @privateeyenews.bsky.social reporting that his ex-employers funded anonymous victim counselling afterwards.

I wrote this essay in the current Sudan issue of Transition Magazine titled "The Politics of Hunger" which argues that the current hunger crisis has been decades in the making. It begins with Nimeiri and looks at US engagement over the decades.

It’s terrifying what we are witnessing in El Fashir. The UAE backed RSF encircling the city to starve and exterminate people, while the so-called intl. community treats the UAE as a peace broker.
