Patriarchy says: "Be small, be selfless, be silent."

Capitalism says: "Be productive, be profitable, be perfect."

Neoliberalism says: "Be your own boss, be your own brand, be your own village."

The nervous system says: "Please let me rest."

Oh good! I saw some (old) InfoWars content yesterday and was afraid the sleezeball had managed to regain his seat of harm. Whew!

Iowa was a lot to process last week.

​Storms: High winds, massive hail, and record-breaking tornadoes.

Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice and politics without principle. - Ghandi (seven deadly sins)

Punk culture has taught us that being moderate and restrained is often the wrong choice. When your intuition is telling you to leave moderation behind, let it go. Read & Riot

"Cause I don't wanna be a witness to this life, I want to be charged and convicted, ear lifted to her song like a bouquet of yes because my heart is a parachute that has never opened in time and I wanna fuck up that pattern,

WE ARE NOT IN ORDINARY TIMES
AND THE WOMEN RISING NOW?
THEY'RE NOT HERE TO BE LIKED,
THEY ARE HERE TO BE MEDICINE...

Perhaps the doom that is coming has been earned. No— that isn't fair.
The doom has been here for a long time, and what's coming is our opportunity to adapt, to grow, to become more worthy of this world.

The ultimate act of subversion is thus finding joy in a refusal to pay and obey, in an act of living by radically different values. It’s not an act of deprivation or austerity, it’s not a vow, it’s an act that reveals joy that transcends given boundaries. Read & Riot

We might not know what the sum of our voices and our actions will be, but we will be fucked if we ever stop being forward, moving forward.

Reverse Project Hail Mary 1. EARTH IS DYING. (YES, RIGHT NOW) 2.ASTROPHAGE = G.H.G. HOLDING THE SUN (GREENHOUSE EFFECT) 3. TAUMOEBA = R.E.S. EAT UP BAD G.H.G. (RENEWABLES + DECARB) 4. SAVE EARTH (NET ZERO) ...Amaze. Amaze. Amaze. PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND = CLIMATE CHANGE

The "Sun-Eaters" from Project Hail Mary are already here ☀️👾

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are basically a one-way mirror for heat. They let the light in & keep the burn. Time for a humanitarian Hail Mary. Who’s in? 👎️

You don't want to hear the story of my life, and anyway
I don't want to tell it, I want to listen
to the enormous waterfalls of the sun.
And anyway it's the same old story
a few people just trying, one way or another, to survive.
Mostly, I want to be kind.
- Mary Oliver, from Dogfish

In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds.

Negro Act of 1740, an intentional version of human subjugation...ingrained in the fabric of America...color-coded, never-ending, legally protected, enshrined system of human trafficking that extorted labor, intellect, talent in the most brutal ways. Born of fear & white supremacy— Black AF History

The stakes are as high as they could be. We may destroy ourselves and destroy the planet. So we need thinking that goes beyond existing boundaries, questions the status quo. We need political imagination...active and alive mind, a heart that’s in the right place, and good intentions. Read & Riot

Shake off pain from your shoulders, let it fall to the floor, and go march with your muses. Make an effort to speak in “the unlikeliest and rarest of tongues: the truth” (Daniel Berrigan) - Read & Riot

At one time, the Irish weren't considered white. Or Jews. Or Italians...accepted into the club when proven they'd join the oppression of people like them. At one time, Hispanic people were not white. Now there are "white Hispanics". It's a beautiful magic trick - Black AF History, Anila Quayyam Agha

[Whiteness] is the result of an insecurity that not only justifies man's inhumanity to man, it reinforces the subconscious doubt in one's own inferiority. Superiority does not require subjugation...but what on earth is whiteness? Whiteness is fear. - Black AF History
