truly sad the way adulthood kills all your hobbies. i’m lucky if i read 5 books a year. too tired to play guitar. too tired to cook beautiful meals.
we warn people not to make work their identity, but how can you not when work systematically strips away every other part of you?
i really hope the lesson people take from elijah mcclain is not "its extra sad because he was so sweet"
but rather, "no amount of gentleness & respectability can protect a black person from the arbitrary wrath of police"
The 40 hour workweek is designed to give you as little freedom and personal time as possible so you value convenience and partake in the consumerist capitalist culture that is killing us. There’s a reason our uprising has gained steam in the time where many are out of work.
w/ all of the posts going around about Elijah McClain and how sweet & innocent he was, i just wanna say that black men that are not sweet and innocent deserve to live too. mean, angry, nice, sweet, quiet, loud. a human life is a human life and nothing can justify a murder.

The white man in this photo was Peter Norman from Australia who finished 2nd the 1968 200m final. Norman stood in solidarity with the American Black athletes. It was Norman who suggested, when discovered they only had 1 pair of gloves, to each wear one. (cont)
