I’m out here in Los Angeles, where hundreds have gathered in response to the ICE execution of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Chants and speeches underway here outside the Federal Building in DTLA. Working multiple cameras today so posts may be sparse

If you have been curious about how the 10 principles of Disability Justice developed by Sins Invalid over 2 decades ago would address all the pressing issues we face, I invite you to attend my free/donations-welcome DJ 101 workshop on Zoom at 7-9pm EST on Saturday, January 31, 2026!🫂

People don't really think through how the Nazis actively made it harder for Jews to leave

The idea that all Americans are guaranteed any kind of freedom of movement, including boarding a flight, is quite the presumption at this point.
German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had
removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews.

In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship.

Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

Getting my book from the library means that the library keeps it in stock and people will find it and read it and the book will live and I love that for my book
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

I wanted to start off #pride by sharing an important book:

Blood Orange by Yaffa As has poems of grief, identity, genocide, colonialism, and hope from the lenses of a queer Palestinian Muslim. Me and friends have described it as a must read for all. 🇵🇸

To follow up, a rough sampling of books on my 2026 TBR by trans, nonbinary, Two Spirit, & gender divergent authors!

There are some that are new releases without covers, so didn't include those, & I've definitely blanked and left others off, but in case anyone wanted their TBRs further destroyed! 🤣

@yaffasutopia.bsky.social calls these the “first responders.” The people who have been engaged from the start, before the catastrophe that brings attention to the crisis.

The workshop today was about the roles we claim in upholding fascism and what roles we can claim to create a better world.

I’m a writer, so that’s where my musings are going. How do I do these two things?

Folklore not as nationalistic enterprise. Not culture-defining and defined tropes and myth. Not nostalgia. But something that is decentralized knowledge. A futurism of folklore, as it were.

So grateful for today’s workshop from @yaffasutopia.bsky.social . I’m honing in on how I can use my skills to prefigure a better world, and address how I uphold the world as it is now. I think the same roles apply here.

Folklore is very gross, friends. It has so much fascism on it.

If your analysis of Venezuela starts and ends with one white man then you’re most likely part of the problem. This isn’t the first invasion, it is not the last. Empire functions as it’s meant to. If you believe the above then you also function as Empire demands.
