Why stop there? I think we will love #landback even more.
I hope this isn't foreshadowing what Maduro's next move is 😅

🧵 BOOKS FOR EARTH DAY 🌎
While writing my book, Becoming Earth, I read — and have continued to read — *a lot* of books about our extraordinary planet. Here are a few of my personal favorites, old and new, with a particular focus on Earth as a dynamic, interconnected, evolving system 🧪 📚💙
"Mystical explanations are considered deep; the truth is, they are not even shallow"
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Every now and then I still venture over to the weird part of YouTube where people still believe that freemasons run hip-hop.
It's amazing how some people never crawl out of rabbit holes, no matter how shallow they are.
What a journey.
The US Green Party is infested with transphobes and anti-vaxxers. It's actually incredible.
The US Green Party? Hoo boy do I have stories...
The Nutmeg's Curse by Amitav Ghosh.
One of the best books I've ever read.
Do yourself a favor and start your day by listening to Dillatude #2 by Robert Glasper Experiment and start your weekend out right.
What's my escapism hobby?
I write obnoxiously long album reviews for nerdy rap albums.
I recently finished this piece on Tetsuo & Youth, my all time favorite hip-hop album.
I dare you to find a more in-depth review of a music album on the internet 😅.
For anyone who cares:
This world was once theirs.
Progressivism is the only reason he was able to marry his mayo bunny.
Pigeons are so dope. A pigeon named Commando was given a Dickin Medal for completing 3 intelligence missions during WW2. Antifascist pigeons ftw!
"Kali Akuno—co-founder of Cooperation Jackson and a lifelong movement builder—is facing a serious and urgent health crisis. He needs immediate access to specialized cardiac care that he simply cannot get in Mississippi."

Honestly this is true, and it highlights how much rap battles depend on spectacle and politics as much as the lyrics themselves.
Family Matters had some punches, but dropping Meet the Grahams an hour later was a power play.
Then doing the back to back with Not Like Us?
The art of war.
My latest.
I decided to write the longest album review on the internet (that I know of). We go deep into politics, physics, metaphysics, spirituality, geometry, pop culture, etc.

"See big whirls have little whirls that feed on their velocity

A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place.
This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism.
Here's why.
"Stop talking about the South. As long as you are South of the Canadian border, you are South."

I wish I could. The one that comes the closest is Promise.
Don't ask me why I've picked the summer to grow my hair back out I'm just going with vibes at this point.
Plus, I think back to the times I had long hair and remember them pretty fondly. Might as well do it while my hair is still thick 😁.
Apparently, it was also for Christopher Columbus.
Incredible reference to stand on.
Madman theory seems to work better when you have a legit madman at the helm.
When you have people in charge of nuclear weapons who don't believe in climate science, you have a group of people who will make this decision without this calculation.
