@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

Another year, another calendar. This is one mode of doing things I cling to. I cannot fathom doing it digitally.

A perk of this mindset is I get to support #PortHuron creatives like @atomicallisto.bsky.social, whose #birdphotography always brighten my feed. Great job on this Callie! 🐦✨️

My work piles up,
I falter with disease.
Time rushes toward me –

Run them through butter,
add a little salt.
