Hi! @guante.info and I are in northeast and are interested in connecting. Also, if there are folks interested in working through this worksheet together, we'd be happy to facilitate/discuss with NE neighbors! organizingmythoughts.org/mapping-comm...

one thing about me is that I really like Gritty.

I like the way he moves, his electric hips, his roving gaze.

During the genocide, writing has become an ultimate form of resistance, allowing Eman Ghassan Abu Zayed to tell the stories of Gaza, ensuring their histories live on forever.

I wish yall truly knew how deeply trifiling Jacob Frey and the Frey administration are. I try to share as much as I can, but there is SO much more. Stuff you have to hold back to protect innocent people who work for the city. They build it that way to weigh everybody down in it.

“It’s a scary moment, but it’s also a moment that bears no equivocation. At this point you are either on the side of protecting our neighbors and protecting our community, or you’re on the side of this administration. There is no neutral ground in this moment. There’s no center left. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit.” - Eman Abdelhadi

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.
