I keep seeing radlibs decoupling mutual aid work from its other key intracommunal and radical praxis and educational aspects to just make it about charity and passing around the same $20 bucks and I think that’s a huge disservice and misunderstanding of the work of mutual aid

@Harmony_Holiday all of this, everything! romance.

You can't quantify it when the world loses someone who you realize knew how to not live like an individual so well that he was singular. It's important to be that kind of human or to at least try. Everyone trying to be the only and the darling is forgettable.

Quincy Jones was one of the last men alive, standing, revealing state and industry secrets, harboring them, embodying them, a Duke Ellington level of dapper, a Miles extent of cool, a Gil Scott-Heron level of blunt articulation. The planet is being depleted of these resources.

I don’t want to live in a world where intentionally ignoring genocide for a whole year is considered pragmatism.

Your arm fell off, pick it up
and hit your enemy with it,
there is no way out.

And I fell next to you
so pick me up and slam your foe
with me, for you are now free,
free, and free

One of the poems of the century, one of the poems of humanity, one of the poems of the future, one I will teach in every class cause I think every human needs to read and embody this love, this big big and possible heart. The poem is a balm, a call to action. Ty @aracelisxgirmay

[Palestine Festival of Literature @PalFest]

In May 2023 the 12th edition of the Palestine Festival of Literature took place in cities across occupied Palestine.

Here, three authors – Ta-Nehisi Coates, Maaza Mengiste and Eve Ewing - reflect on what they saw in Palestine.

All interviews filmed in Palestine, May 2023.

This sentence is fucking outrageous. The painting was back on display within a couple of hours. Both the protest & the sentence are symbolic actions, the difference being the protest was a nonviolent action in defence of life whereas this sentence is an act of violent repression.

We are witnessing what Western imperial powers did to the places they colonized pre-WWII. Except the bombs are bigger. The carnage is faster and more efficient. The absolute annihilation - of men, women, children, cultures and identities - is the same.
