In these dark, sad, enraging times, we must turn to poetry, to music, to arts in all its manifestations. We must write and cook and dance all while imagining what is possible in radical hope. We must love as we fight, strategize, and organize. The world necessitates beauty and struggle. #resist

Beautiful.
Just got a chance to finally meet Marlene Daut in person. What a beautiful human being! Incredible scholar. And Alex, you’re the best. Love you both.
And if we want to feel hope in these dark times, read Ada Limón’s “Against Breaking”. It’s devastating and beautiful.
More on the Trump-Hegseth DOD cruel treatment of serving military, especially Navy. Most who serve are in their continued growth years. Imagine how hungry they are while the pigs at MaraLardo gorge themselves.

I secured some funding last year to revive the Stevie Wilson DIY Young Artists Residency. I’m excited to announce that applications are open today until May 11 for young artists (ages 16-24) directly impacted by criminalization, policing, or punishment.
Everyone going to LASA this year because it’s in Paris. Decolonize that. 🤣😂😜

Don’t let capitalism keep
you so busy and so in debt that you don’t have time to
live. Resisting requires rest. Organizing requires time.
Also I’m not suggesting the religion is wrong. I’m
Pointing at the contradictions.

All predators should resign. Starting with the boss…

“The pope should be careful
When talking theology.” Said the Catholic Politician. What’s next? “God should be careful when being God.” Not my religion but sounds dumb as fuck.

Ha taciuto su un genocidio;
Ha chiamato legittimo l'intervento in Venezuela;
Non ha condannato l'aggressione criminale all'Iran;

Come si cambia per non morire.

I grew up in a very religious Christian home (I’m not religious now). I have a very hard time understanding how Christians reconcile their faith and values with the actions of this government. How can you justify the hate, the destruction? Can they really say this is what Jesus would do? 😒🙄

I found this picture of my dad reading my first book, a few years before the stroke that has had him on a persistent comma state, here but not here, for two years now. I cried for an entire hour. Tears of joy, of grief, of longing. It’s a strange thing to be grieving a parent who is still here. 💔

The state of Tennessee is planning to execute Tony Carruthers for a crime he didn’t commit, all because they refuse to carry out DNA and fingerprint testing from the scene of the crime.
