Systems built on domination live first in the body.
White body supremacy is conditioning, reflex, nervous systems under threat.
Change must happen where the damage lives.
The Quaking of America is a field guide for somatic liberation.
Read it. Practice it. Share it.

It’s been tough. It’s going to get tougher.

If you’re living in a visibly melanated body in this country and feeling it in your nervous system, you’re not imagining it. You’re not crazy.

From my time in South Africa 🇿🇦
Black people, you are not crazy. What you feel is real. You are beautiful, and you are not defective.

This closing moment from my Weekend Breakfast conversation still holds true.

In South Africa I spoke about how trauma doesn’t just live in memory. It lives in the body.

Somatic abolitionism means tending to the body so we can break the pattern for the generations that follow.

Been in the rhythm of this communal love lately

Deante’ Kyle’s @deantekyle.bsky.social (Grits & Eggs Podcast) is a brilliant space for grounded reflection on racism, repair, and collective truth.

It echoes the nervous-system work we’re building in Black Octopus Society.

Lifting up #AvaDuVernay’s 13th today in this wave of #communallove.

It’s more than a film—it’s a map.

Inside Black Octopus Society, we do this same work in the body—tracking harm, interrupting patterns, building new futures.

Y'all did a great freaking job. The whole movie felt real, desperate, yet still somewhat hopeful. I was put in her shoes for one horrible night and could not help but root for her.

They called it a “multilateral lunch.” But the photo op came with a funeral.
USAID dissolved. 14M deaths projected.
This isn’t partnership—it’s abandonment.

Stop waiting for them to save us.

Every time they ease up, we forget 500 years of brutality.

Liberation starts when we build our own—our art, our care, our glue between each other. That’s the work we’re doing inside Black Octopus Society.
