Great book. I read it. You should too. By the way, Sostre's life illustrates intersections between carceral psychiatry & the carceral state, during his trials he was medicalized as being mad, & they attempted to hold him in a facility for the criminally insane.
A Continuous Struggle
The Revolutionary Life of Martin Sostre

The first biography of the revolutionary political prisoner who laid the foundation for contemporary abolitionist struggles and Black anarchism. www.akpress.org/a-continuous...

i love a fest jam-packed with so much wonderful, but c’mon. How is one able to enjoy all that’s on deck without missing a bunch too? I get choose-your-own-adventure experiences, but when it’s all great I wanna see it all.
Winter Jazz Fest, your lineup is always too spectacular. Amazing every year✨

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.

It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Great last day of the season. I was running on fumes, but I made it! Now I get to just be and exist for the next month. I’m so ready for my Winter hibernation break 👻❄️☃️

pushes up glasses and loudly asks you to read The Propaganda of History chapter.
Then reread that TAMU story.

Someone asked me today how I am doing heart and soul-wise. I like that much more than the arbitrary and empty “how are you doing?” With the expected response being “good/fine” regardless of accuracy. I enjoy questions that seek answers and not just a response… and the people that ask them.

A little bit of history with your #BanjoAunti

It’s essential to examine the roots of our culture so we can understand how we got here, and how we can move forward.

The lyrics from Cuban flautist and singer La Dame Blancha go so hard 🎶👑🪈

Voy a romperme la garganta
Mi corazón ya no aguanta
Nos comimos la manzana
Saborea su veneno
Dios tenga piedad del desenfreno

Mercury drank all the Gatorade and someone had the “bright” idea for me to get in front of a camera. I have no idea what I said 🤦🏻‍♂️ I hope nobody I know sees me on the news 😩 I already have my qualms about being perceived… not looking forward to being in people’s TVs and internets. I did it though 🤷🏻‍♂️ ✅

We don't have enough people doing what they can but I am so grateful to those who are. Thank you.

Actually taking the time to make the call, send the letter, show up to the meeting, write the check, go to the protests, do actual mutual aid. Thank you.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Housing first, with no bars for who qualifies, works! The success rate is undeniable AND it’s the most cost efficient option.

But most importantly, it’s the approach that puts people first. It puts their humanity first. That should be the most compelling argument.
Housing First approaches to homelessness, that prioritize getting a stable roof over people's heads before addressing trauma from the streets & other issues, prove to lead to long term stability. Rounding every homeless person up for forced mental health care which is incarceration is not the way!
I'm a mad person who's lived on the streets & knows a lot of mad people & I know that people like me are disproportionately inclined to homelessness & I don't like when that gets taken out of the conversation. But our reality is that late stage American capitalism can push anyone to the streets.

Exactly why I need people to understand that there is something we don't know.

It's actually bodying me that the idea that Trump is still hiding something that we don't know is not clicking for people. lol
This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.
