That moment when you’re watching a tribute on Wardi and they go to his birthplace and show artifacts and they look suspiciously like the one’s in the British Museum’s Sudan, Egypt & Nubia department.
Oh okay. And the British Museum is still carrying out “excavations” (white people speak for theft) in the region as we speak.

I am not even going to address these insanely atrocious string of tweets, because there is so much ugliness and hate embedded in them that there’s virtually nothing I can say to counteract it.
I will say this, however.
Every time there is bigotry on Tumblr (in the world at large, in fact), we (Black People) are always the...

I mean feminism is about making choices, right?
See, that’s one of the reasons I can’t embrace sex-positive feminism. It can easily become reduced to “if you’re not having all of the sex all of the time, you’re slut-shaming.”

TEHRAN—Amidst mounting geopolitical tensions, Iranian officials said Wednesday they were increasingly concerned about the United States of America’s uranium-enrichment program, fearing the Western nation may soon be capable of producing its 8,500th nuclear weapon. “Our intelligence estimates indicate that, if it is allowed to progress with its aggressive nuclear program, the United...

This, then, is why the Democrats are not really a “lesser evil.” In fact, Democrats are often able to get a way with more horrible policies than Republicans because so many liberals and progressives who would otherwise be shouting from the rooftops about some terrible thing being done if it were a Republican, all of a sudden grow quiet about — or worse, even justify — that...

I’m getting really annoyed with Amnesty International’s pro-intervention stance. I’ve been a member and donor for years but I’m beginning to reconsider it. One of the reasons I’ve stuck with them for so long is because of the Troy Davis case, they did a really good job of bringing it to light. But yesterday they sent me an email to call on Russia to support the UN...

I’m going to be in Cairo visiting my lovely grandma in 2 weeks :). Going to try to go to Khartoum as well cos I really want to (mostly cos I’ll feel bad if I go Egypt but not Sudan). It depends on how much money I can mooch though - I’m still in overdraft. I haven’t been to Egypt since the overthrow of Mubarak (my father was imprisoned + tortured under both Sadat and...

“I would say that political Islam cannot solve Sudan’s problems. I would sing about poverty and sickness.I would sing about how Sudan is a huge country with a variety of cultures that cannot be ruled by one tradition, or one party, or one religion, or one man. They must not force us to live with one religion and one culture. This is not Sudan.”
