“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I was watching stuff then, but it's been so nice to just DO creative things without that perfectionist voice in my head or care about any objective 😩💙💙💙💙💙

Like I was playing with acrylic pens (markers?) the other day, just doodling whatever the hell I wanted to for the fuck of it

I didn't even realize I was doing that for 2 hours straight, in a dead silent room, until after 😂

Ditto with playing with clay: I was at it for nearly 5 hours!

It's weird how getting more rest, and being kinder to myself, has been giving me more room to be creative and just try shit.

It's not even really about doing anything perfectly or even making anything in particular, which makes it that much more relieving to do I think

Idk why my alarms told me to go fuck myself cause I missed my vocational assessment today

But, at the same time, I'm having a random pain flare after making pottery

I guess the whole thing was harder on my body than I thought, but I had fun! I haven't played with clay in idk how long

Or repost anything from Black accounts…

For as many people wanting access to Black business, you guys sure don’t contribute to any Black businesses.

You’ll see a Black person asking for at LEAST a share and maybe 5 dollars so they can get help making rent, and you ignore it.

But you’ll gladly share a white person asking money for a new computer because their older one runs the game at 60fps and not 120fps. 😅

Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes is a neo-Nazi. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that if you saw him on some of the popular podcasts he’s been on lately, with fairly mainstream shows hosting him for appearances that have garnered millions of views.

The Rise of Nick Fuentes Should Horrify Us All

A neo-Nazi is trying to fill the void left by the failures of the two major parties. Unless Americans are offered a visionary alternative, Fuentes’ toxic ideology may flourish.

I mean at this point I am counting days until ICE shoots someone in broad daylight and we get all of the stories and things from people who will claim this is unprecedented

and it be on teh anniversary of a racialized mass shooting

that "doesn't count" because white journalists aren't centered

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

We aren't fighting fascism right now

and most people aren't willing to admit that because they don't want to say

george washington carver would be your weapons merchant, harriet tubman would have been in the brotherhood (initiated by john brown), gotta protect booker t washington from a klan attack before he takes over at tuskegee, you'd have to convince a group of freedmen not to take revenge, etc etc

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
