Stephon voice, yes yes yes if you’re ordinary and you love crying in the bathroom, Modern Warrior has it all.

Some of these performances are really impressive, it’s a shame we don’t give out awards for online ndns. They are always doing the most with their medium and I gotta respect that because I’m lazy af.

That is an excellent theme. Mine is “The Thankening” to cultivate a vaguely menacing vibe.

Nobody told me there was penmanship. i’m in.

Toastie has never lied to us! And yes, those Gensaws know how to feed us the best way 🥹

Yes 🥹 that is one of the first and best food stories right there. I needed this thank you Wade!

Anyway, thank the spirits for Chef Crystal Wahpepah, Kickapoo with a heart of gold. Her restaurant in Fruitvale is warm & the food is full of her history & life. Neem’s is right there too, a badass Indigenous woman (Palestine) who stands on cultural business. I like my food story-forward I guess lol

I promise I’m fun at parties & I can be light about food. I love it, it’s the source of my joy & community service. But occasionally I need to hit a vent button to let out the disappointment from all the sterilized privileged food takes my eyeballs are absorbing & inadvertently internalizing 😮‍💨

Foodways are full of blood & ongoing loss & sacred things. A recipe becomes a spell & a story, just look at any food blog. Their family is in there, they share their lives. But most people like it all sanitized, in a vacuum, keep the story & give me the thing I need. Make the extraction efficienct.

I can’t write about a chef or a dish or product & disconnect it from context in order to make it consumable. Food is political, land soil water air, it’s political & emotional. In this country I have to peel back the layers to understand who has been silenced. Because there’s always someone.

I pray for the downfall of most farmers & ranchers & their entrepreneurial endeavors. There is nothing romantic about stolen land & resources no matter how many twee delights they produce or how hard the work is.

omg so cool! 😍

obviously the royal we because nobody's banging down my door for motion picture projects & whatnot. But I deal with a lot of colonial narratives & systems in my work & the stress of holding institutions to higher standards is already too much for me 😅

I hate how creatives are the ones drawing these lines; the people with the most to lose telling these colossal assholes what's up right to their faces. I know it's always this way, but being a creative feels so fragile all the time, and somehow we always find the heart to say fuck off to power.

🤣 So scary! This happened to me with a flock of turkeys. Every time I’d get off the school bus as a small child they’d chase my value added products straight up a hill until I ran in the house & slammed the door. I’m bitter from a decade of turkey warfare.

I’m equally grossed out by farmers being successful at anything right now. “Pivoting into value-added products” let me stop you right there while I look for some pitchforks & see if I can gather a mob real quick. Entrepreneur? blech imagine being filthy with capitalist dreams. shudder.

They disabled comments which was smart because if I were a budding eugenicist using proximity to 2S people as cover for my unserious observations on *baby voice* “complicated blood quantum” I would also want to never be corrected or learn from anyone ever. 0 Days Without Fragility on the internet.

It feels like everything creative has to be public facing. what happened to being a hermit artist or a reclusive writer? We just have to stare into the deadlights every day now? And in terms of helping our people, where are the showboaters the hotdoggers, the emcees get in here please i’m dying lol
