Required reading!

[Dash @DiasporaDash]

REQUIRED READING “Brown semiosis disperses blackness into its system glaringly deadlocked with whiteness. For is the primary attachment of Latinx brownness not to whiteness? ...Brownness binds itself to whiteness because that grants it a world to live in.” https://t.co/Z11JRqphuh

@fidmart85 Nice meeting you! Thank you for all the work you do!

Audre Lorde prioritized survival. She said people would tell her they weren’t content with just surviving, and this sentiment belittles what survival is. “They reduce survival to mere existence. And that is not survival…Implicit in survival is joy, mobility, and effectiveness.”

[... @tamaranopper]

Hanif Abdurraqib said discipline is about showing up repetitively and “showing up is a reminder that I have endured, that I’ve survived enough to have the will and excitement to show up for something else. Sometimes that discipline is how I simply survive from sunrise to sunset.”

on GOOD FRIDAY of all days

[Sarah @caesarah_]

a trap: thinking we can fix broken institutions from the inside.

a trap: thinking a poem published in a harmful outlet is separate from their horrific journalism

a trap: thinking donations absolve us from facing the relentless death

—traps i too fall into!

So @theferocity shared this by Mohab Abu Toha at the other place today and it kinda fucked me up and I have to share it so it’ll do the same to you.

This is a word!

[Leah Goodridge @leahfrombklyn]

“I am my parent’s retirement plan.”

I want to put words to a part of the housing crisis I see playing out:

Many of our parents + grandparents weren’t able to get jobs w/ traditional retirement plans (due to discrimination) and as such, rely on their children for housing/care.

my 10th grade English teacher let me go into the book storage room and made me take like 20 books because she saw I was only reading Stephen King books from the library. shoutout to Mrs. Burke!

MEXICAN-AMERICAN SONNET 1

[rasha abdulhadi @rashaabdulhadi]

A small thread of resources for self-care while watching and writing about the news, gathered for palestinian folks feeling overwhelmed, but also lovingly extended to all our folks surviving structured abandonment and eliminatory violence...

the poet/ the poem

[Richard Siken @richardsiken]

@Madilyn_MnM > Bad poetry is the same as bad gymnastics or bad cooking. We've got to start somewhere. The fact that there's so much of it is proof that people find it worthy and worth trying. Even just writing bad poetry and never getting better gives you an appreciation of literature >
