I am a writer and a manifestor of Black (queer) liberations. I create ecologies that support Black errancy, fugitivity, and thriving. I sculpt people and build institutions. I am abolition made flesh.

"Black queer and trans students are not waiting for your permission to exist. They are organizing, resisting, and building liberatory futures. The question is not whether they are ready. The question is whether you will join them."

Quite right.

Somehow I got out of the habit of making Jeremy daily salads, but I made him one today. Romaine, hibiscus, zinnia, and calcium supplement.

At least 80% of the problem with "celebrity interviews" is the fact that the arts of interviewing are being lost.

Journalists, your job is not to fellate famous people or be complicit in hagiography; it's to create a sincere, honest, and accurate portrait--maybe even loving(ly)--of public utility.

I'm really tired of hearing from her about anything and the quotes here really do reveal a lack of depth, as evidenced by her inability (or unwillingness) to publicly contend with fear.

Not only is it the most sensible thing for home design, it's the most sensible thing for public health.

What you eat and how you store and prepare it (and the tools/utensils used) are arguably more important than waste disposal/management, which is where sensible bathroom design typically comes in.

Did you miss it this week?

I have a new job: president of News Creator Corps. Goes like this.

Via the people now called creators, audiences are migrating to the social layer in the internet stack. Maybe there's a way to move with, rather than against that.

It's been in hip hop LYRICS for several decades now so it's no surprise it's on blogs and social media pages

Yes. By and large, if your children are socialized the same way white people are and have been they will vote and act the ways they do.

Whether Hispanic women identified as white less across the decade and how that impacted voting data is important to note, but by and large non-Hispanic white women and white men made clear the country they want to live in as revealed by INCREASED support across gender.

Socialization is predictive.

It's partly this, but mostly they just rigged the economic system (and keep rigging it) so Black people miss how integral they are to their survival.

They are DEPENDENT on us.

Strategically, ICE deployments in the greater Chicagoland area are about normalizing military presence and creating the social (and political) conditions to justify and expand their footprint.

This has EVERYTHING to do with securing and controlling long(er)-term fresh water access to Lake Michigan.
