If you’re cross about being compared to Nazis, then calling for your critics to be silenced & sacked probably isn’t the best way to prove them wrong.

We are delighted to see such a wonderful interview in @sxsalon @SmallAxeProject! Read for an interesting and insightful conversation on how @scriptopus's Caribbean upbringing has influenced their writing, the role the environmental issues have in their work, and more!
Interview on the history and heritage of the Caribbean as the bedrock for my books, published in @sxsalon @SmallAxeProject

Blame it on the Cultural Studies scholar in me why I can't let go of last Saturday's epic 50th yrs celebration of 'The Harder They Come'.

Everyone knows what happened in Babyn Yar, right?
It is one of the singularly most horrific massacres in human history.
The Nazis murdered nearly all of Kyiv's Jewry – nearly 34,000 people – one bullet at a time over a period of only 2 days in 1941.
Thread.

Ok. Deep breath.
I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in.
The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie.

People scoffed when we said stripping Shamima Begum of her citizenship created a dangerous precedent, and now look: the Nationality and Borders Bill passed last night creates second-class citizens out of millions of Britain’s dual nationals.

If I was Labour, I would call them The Christmas Party and I would never stop doing it.

The texts determine the themes! In this particular episode, I and @scriptopus talked about themes related to energy, humanity, marginalization, and of course Caribbean identity!

Greetings from the “third world”, and fuck right off.
Few things are as tiring as American exceptionalism dismissing all the parts about itself it hates as “third-world” and “not-American”. It’s all America. Go stand in it. Keep the third world out of it.

[Binge-read #sff_eBookDeal] Get The (R)EVOLUTION Series by Stephanie Saulter for $5.97 - is.gd/vQEb1V
Stephanie Saulter retweeted
12/ @scriptopus's (R)evolution trilogy addresses gene editing, autonomy, the responsibility of the powerful, the abuses of the rich when capitalism goes too far. It's absolutely relevant to many conversations people have today, and I feel too few people know about this series.

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

I don’t know why people say the government is short of #PPE. Pretty much every minister in the last 15 years did that degree. I’m starting to think that an over-supply is the problem.
