Hello—

in light of recent US events and this app certainly turning into more of a cesspool, I’m hopping over to 🦋! If I branch out into other social medias I’ll update this post, but for now please go follow me on the other app for any publishing/book updates for now.

hi. I want y’all to know how dangerous this is. this is how we communicate w other public health agencies around the world when there’s a new outbreak of something, share response measures on how to tackle pandemics, and share research among other things.

A lot of you cannot identify fascist propaganda and that’s scary! Oscar de la renta styling fascists is propaganda. The Tiktok CEO thanking Trump is propaganda. Stop fucking falling in line to nazism and think critically

recommended reading:

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE by Milton Mayer. interviews with regular people who became Nazis and how it happened for them.

inoculate yourself against slipping. learn the thought patterns. the justifications. eye-opening.

THE ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM by Hannah Arendt

a staggering breakdown of totalitarianism, authoritarianism, fascism & their social processes

if you wanna understand what's going on right now, & look at the roadmap - well, Arendt was a Jewish philosopher who lived through it

"i am not alone"

keep the fire of "i am not alone" alive in the midst of a political environment that seeks to tell you that if you dissent, you will be alone. or worse

stand together. it's simple, it's banal, but it's the core of it

& if you can't stand together, sit together

as an anthropologist, one of my specialisations is authoritarianism & revolutionist practice in response to it

one of my research foci for is the social processes of a society's descent into authoritarianism

a historian once told me:
it happens slowly, then all at once.

i dont know who needs to hear this right now but just live. if you're a queer person in the us, dont let them win. you need to keep existing, dont give them what they want. i love you, im sorry, we will get through this together

I hope this moment clarifies the lines of class solidarity for people.

A level of devastation that's legitimately difficult to comprehend. This is what the West closed ranks to allow and facilitate for 15 months. Day after day after day.

in all seriousness. if you’re really scared. the only way out is together. community. not government, or the CEOs that are now hand in hand w/ it , community and sharing resources and information will be vital. get together and organize. we have to be each other’s safe spaces
