Feminist Attempts and Re-Attempts
The People I Follow
The title sounds fancier than the post, I’m only talking about twitter accounts. I’ve been cleaning up my twitter feed the past few days and saw that I follow general categories of people:
- Anybody & anything in Lebanon
- Advocates for Palestine
- Feminists and women’s rights organizations anywhere in the world
- Arab women anywhere
- Progressive Arabs (especially from Jordan and Egypt)
- Leftist, anarchist, socialist news
- A few queers
- A few social change and social media organizations
Now trying to analyze what this says about my life today.. do I need to diversify?

Tweeting for Palestine Again

This is going to be a quick post because I need to get dressed & go to work, but I wanted to give a summary of our spur-of-the-moment campaign yesterday: I saw a tweet by @RedPlebiscite mentioning how pissed off he was that a zionist was leading the Shorty Awards list in politics. Of course
