HOAs are a great example of how white ppl do institutions instead of community
You don’t need an institution to talk to your neighbors and work together, but whiteness makes a point of keeping everyone isolated and individualized
So, they delegate what would be community work to a “representative”

And now, those neighbors never learn about each other in a way that allows them to talk to each other and resolve issues constructively.
Instead they have fees, rules, and enforcers.
Once you have rules and enforcers, you’re gonna have rule-breakers.
In other words — cops and crimes.

Once you create an institution, you create power and power works by criminalizing.
HOAs criminalize living in your own home, on your own property, the way you want to.

i wasted a whole year with people who pretended to share my values, pretended to prioritize actually doing anything meaningful to ensure #Mirlo wasn't just predominantly white men appropriating #Jazz #HipHop and other #BlackMusic genres.

i got used by white men to help grow a ~95% white #opensource platform and i've only been paid 5% of what i'm owed..
in 2024, why are there white people who are still intent on exploiting Black people?!

Breaking my silence, but in 2025 can we please retire the "We're cooked! This all sucks!" kind of takes.
Things aren't good, but doomerism doesn't actually move us towards solutions to issues that we're worried about. You know what does? Showing up for community, fighting for justice, etc.

I was taking it seriously when there were 100 users and nobody cared.
