Hani is a friend from undergrad (he went to BYU!) and he’s been doing incredible work in Gaza while facing the loss of 150+ family members. He deserves all the support.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. There are two survivors left. Ages 109. I think a lot about the failure of this nation to address this atrocity and many others. Not from the 17th, 18th or 19th century, but the 20th. And the determination of those survivors to live so long.

It may be difficult for some to reconcile how Dalì could be both a racist who was expelled from the Surrealists group for his obsessions with fascism, Hitler, and Franco —and an artist who fetished African American model and actress Donyale Luna.

He likely saw her exactly how he saw the ocelot.
"[Donyale Luna] travelled to Salvador Dalí’s home in the Catalonian village of Cadaqués, where he promptly declared her one of his muses. Look at the photos of that trip and you will find her cradling the baby ocelot that Dalí kept as a pet, or standing on a grand piano in the middle of a lake..."

"Orcas are loved..

In matrilineal, multi- generational groups all over the planet, orca families influence all the other species in their range. They inspire seals to move onto land, they impact the migration of animals as varied as moose and humpback whales."

- Alexis Pauline Gumbs, "Undrowned"
"Orcas greet each other respectfully as distinct resident groups and celebrate their own social order. They collaborate on the care of their young. They're not afraid to express their grief for months and years in public.. Nuanced and majestic, brave and committed."

She is a racist.
Exactly.

"Black people make several appearances in Kusama’s 2002 autobiography as exotic or primitive beings. She mentions “[black people’s] distinctive smell” and “animalistic sex techniques.” and using a naked black man in her own performance art describing his lips and genitals in detail."

This happens often on reservations—the euphemism is “starlight tours.” Pigs in the US also kill more Indigenous people per capita than any other race, and extractive industry settler workers are known to abduct, traffic and murder Indigenous women & girls.

The Dutch East India Company was the first global megacorp, more profitable and influential than Microsoft. Dutch citizens enjoyed their rights; people in their economic wake were denied theirs.
