Hi #DVPIT loves.

Be sure to look at my Black Authors starter kit for names and pitches as well. This algorithim is weird next to Twitter's/Xs and so what I'm seeing is a lot of Black Authors fading out of the algo due to typical engagement.

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e

like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

There’s a lot in here that deserves a pull quote, but this is the most egregious. I need people to recognize the gravity of the situation here in Chicago;

"The ones that are getting out are coming home to no home," Watson said.
According to her, after the raid occurred, building management stole or threw out residents belongings, including visas and important documents.

ICIRR is still trying to determine the identities of all the people detained in the raid. Castro said that the organization usually can do that by following up with family members or loved ones. "In this instance, there was nobody left to work with," she said. The only detainee name they're sure of is that of a person who passed their Venezuelan passport to a neighbor as they were being taken away.

I watched the trailer and honestly it looked solid? So now I'm probably watching it tonight. Even if not perfect a good time is a good time.

As time goes on I find that the only sustainable approach to writing personal, good fiction is with the intention of it being a little fucked up for you and your best friends to giggle over. It's age old advice, I know, but I always viewed it as a "nice approach."

No.

It is the only approach.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

the altar is made of wetstone
cutting prayer in half, congregation in fourths
its edges are ridges
its outlines are shadows
its curves are spirals
its grays are ashen
its bumps are bruises
its belly is bloodied
its scripts are weighted
its songs are strains
its preachers are judges

a person is sharpening their knife on a cutting board

on the outer edge looking
meters and miles and minutes down
falling, screaming, but lack of sound
from no ears on their splintered heads
with no eyes on their blank faces
if I have to die, I can't die dreaming
if I have to die, I can't die pleading
if I have to die, I have to live

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

A four-panel comic.

Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?"

She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died."

Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?"

She: "So sad."

Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie.

She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!"

He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!"

Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here."

The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"
