I enjoyed it! She was a gem fr. Made me appreciate even more all the people we don’t know about whose life and contributions ultimately make mine possible.

I get irritated when people imply some *thing* instead of saying *the* thing. Cause now we’re playing a game, and I’m down—you just prolly gonna hate me when we’re done.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

Of course, engaging text thru twice/thrice removed interlocutors is its own hellscape but I wanna start somewhere that isn’t “what the FUCK are you on about?” every time I open a text. 😂

I mean. The world of knowledge* that people are creating is….vast.

Idk what idk. Idk how to find the people I want to read or who have takes I’m interested in—namely Black, radical, feminist, spiritual.

Everything is Marxist (fine, whatever) but I’m just….yeah. Struggling here.

Quintessential Race Woman™️ @blckphilohottie.bsky.social · 2d

Every reading, I’m like “so what?” 😂 BUT I really wanna meaningfully engage these works as much as possible.

Quintessential Race Woman™️ @blckphilohottie.bsky.social · 2d

I literally just did before you skeeted this follow up cause I didn’t and my exact words as I closed out the search page having seen the “p” word were: “good riddance.” 😭

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
