REBLOG: from pollytipsy POLITICAL ACTIVIST and WRITER: LOUISE JENKINS MERIWETHER. (1219)

SOURCE pollytipsy May 12

The picture does not tell us who this woman is, but what she is about. A legend, not so much the woman, but the picture. This is what I hate about meme, it does not give credit to where it truly belongs, which is what I am trying to learn. However, the picture has the power to awaken my curiosity and to ask myself the following questions: Who is this woman? And why the policemen apparently in riot gear, which leads us to believe that she is standing up them, most probably in some protest. Nobody knows for sure where the picture was taken and what she was protesting(?), which I find difficult to believe. However, if anyone should find the missing details, please let me know.

Louise Jenkins Meriwether, (May 8, 1923 – October 10, 2023) was a novelist, essayist, journalist and social activist (continue reading at (blackpast.org) as well as a writer of biographies of historically important African Americans for children. She is best known for her first novel, Daddy Was a Number Runner (1970), which draws on autobiographical elements about growing up in Harlem, New York City, during the Depression and in the era after the Harlem Renaissance.

"I am a writer, and also a dedicated activist and peacenik. In New York City in my twenties I was chapter chairman of my union, marching in May Day Parades and having rotten eggs thrown at my head. In Los Angeles I was arrested in a sit-in against the racist Birch Society and sentenced to five years probation. In Bogalusa, Louisiana, I worked with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE); back in New York I was instrumental in keeping Muhammad Ali, then world's heavyweight champion, from fighting in South Africa and breaking a cultural boycott. In Washington, D.C., I was arrested in 2002 in a protest against the disastrous policies of the World Bank and the IMF. Back in New York I was active in several forums breaking the silence about the rampant rape in the Congo and the multinational corporations and countries involved. Last year I helped set up a forum at Riverside Church on the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons."

Palestinian Fundraisers Who Reached Out to Me

--

Hey, I had a lot of palestinian fundraisers that reached out to me through asks lately, and I'm getting afraid replying to each ask is going to make them all disappear as background noise in people's feed, so I'm making a master post about them instead to update and reblog regularly.

If you can afford it, even donating a single dollar to a fundraiser of your choosing can make a big difference in these people's life, if only by making them feel heard and seen, and knowing we are thinking of them and their struggle, even if the western elites seem eager to move on from their unjustifiable pain.

DICHOTOMY

sometimes i'm not sure what's really here and what that even means i'm not sure about anything most of the time it feels good to be sure of something to know equivocally that something will happen what does that even mean do i know? or do i not know? is the cat meowing? what if my comfort has been misplaced and i've been taught everything backwards i'm not even in this body most of the time doesn't that seem like it would tell me that something might be off? can i trust my brain? can i trust my eyes? can i trust science? can i trust religion? it's something that i can't explain it's a feeling, but it's not it's a 'vibe', but it's not it's something else entirely and all of the words that people use to describe it push me away from it it's something that must be approached like i would approach a fearful dog no eye contact. no chasing. just waiting and trust. faith makes me want to disintegrate. i haven't decided if that's a good thing or a bad thing and once again i get trapped there sorting and filing and organizing and trying to make sense of what i call chaos but what if i have it backwards. like, what is good? what is bad? everything has multiple meanings to me that means that everything has multiple states, multiple possibilities, i am everything and nothing all at the same time, until you look at me. maybe that's why it bothers me so much when people pin expectations to me they're not seeing who i really am they're not approaching me like the scared dog that i really am they're slapping a label on me, organizing me, filing me, sorting me and i don't like it. but that's how this world is organized now, right? there's no room for me to become a cosmic whatever i have to stay pinned, like a bug under glass, so people can examine me and file me under what seems right today. how could they know? all they see is all they see. i contain multitudes; i'm multidimensional; the words come back to me in different forms, day after day. like multiple facets are reminding me day after day that i'm not alone that the long-seeming age of imprisonment will be worth it

and honestly, is it worth it? i'm still not sure i don't think i've ever been sure of that.
