Just posting this again because I can: a new humanity, forged in the crucible of intergalactic war has spread throughout the galaxy; among them are millions of Muslims who must return to Earth for Hajj. Meet the crew: 🧵

I woke up before 5 and couldn’t sleep, so I read Jericho Brown’s The New Testament. It’s stunning. “Heart Condition,” “Hustle,” “Host,” and “Labor” are among my favorites.

I legit would like to see people who were successfully rehabilitated at Arkham Asylum in the non-super criminal sections of the place. There can’t be THAT many super villains that they can keep their funding going just incarcerating the 100 jerk offs Batman keeps gift wrapping.

So soft path systems and soft path technologies are both LLCs now rather than thought concepts and teachable ideas and that’s fucking irritating. I assume there is a company called Bi Cameral Structures or Jungian Industries or some shit.

What does it mean to be hot for revolution—to feel a desire to transform the world in your belly and your bones?

Here's my latest, on how erotic desire feeds political agency. I draw on AIDS activism, disability justice & other movements against sexual oppression.

If you’ve ever thought of killing your self so someone who can’t stop blaming you for all their problems would stop blaming you for all their problems I assure you they’d find a new, living person to hate and abuse and you’d still be dead.

Okay who else has had the “I have battle armor on and these refugees need an exit so I’m going to fucking make one” dream or just me?

It’s like everyday with this guy; it’s like NYC elected Spider-Man and the GOP pundit class are all J. Jonah Jameson.

Guys on the Odyssey: there is evidence that Helen of Troy was Caucasian!

Guys on Epstein: 100 accusers and emails of rich people planning SA parties on a private island isn’t evidence!

It’s weird one someone with a very niche interest that you share kills themself. Maybe we’d talk once every three months for a few hours or he’d add to the shared document and now he just can’t anymore.

Can we stop saying "__ should be illegal" when we mean "we shouldn't have __ in society"?

Either your ideal situation really is to have cops drag away homeschooling parents & alcohol drinkers, which... okay. Or you're not seeing the full picture of why we have bad stuff (authoritarian police state)

This. All day and twice on Sunday.
I am once again stating the obvious by saying that the whole “low information voters” thing is a media tactic to normalise Trumpism because what do you mean these people have the capacity to find EVERY conspiracy theory about climate change and trans people, but none to believe Trump is evil.

It seems like a bunch of old white dudes pinned climate issues on a large rodent yesterday so at least it wasn’t immigrants and trans people for a few hours…
