more people should take note of what happened here. They’ve set a legal precedent for criminalizing organizing by criminalizing literature.

I guess the discourse also just reminds me of the fact that when you're deemed a bad person you don't get to be human anymore. You're stripped of your person hood, because having nuance is seen as justifying that behavior. This has been weaponized for copaganda btw.

I keep warning that we will get ugly laws again. It's so important that we insist that everyone belongs in society and in public. We need to double down on inclusivity. And not only when it's convenient or easy.

I am an abolitionist and to abolish prisons means to end the system as it is, which means ending this capitalist society. There is no satisfying reform that can be made to prisons under this society because our institutions are inextricably bound up in domination and exploitation

Obama’s presidential library is the perfect symbol of the Black bourgeoisie. Black residents in Chicago are protesting a library built on their park space that will accelerate gentrification, while Black elites and liberals celebrate its opening as “Black excellence.”

love is never wasted for its value does not rest upon reciprocity

the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore is because there’s barely any journalists left. Lebanon is going through a severe escalation. Palestine is still going through a genocide. 150k people were killed in Sudan. People in congo are being killed. Don’t stop talking.

so much sympathy for today's kids. every aspect of their lives has been impoverished, there are no spaces for them, everything is prohibitively expensive, the planet is dying, they're being repeatedly infected, and the solution is apparently to further isolate them digitally.

Working with children is kind of a terrifying experience cuz it really puts into perspective how much we are a product of our upbringing and how much of children's upbringing is spent rolling eyes at problems that seem small to an adult but are understandably big deals to them

I enjoy the beginning process of sucking at a thing you want to be good at because it’s the phase of the process where you can be chill about your progress. You should be happy about sucking at something because you’re more present in your creation. This is when you’re most happy

[yvette @nutmegbreadluvr]

existing as is, how do we view ourselves from a place of discovery, as a site of discovery rather than judgment, rather than shame, turning the internal world into one of exploration rather than denigration

‘Taxing AI’ won’t protect our water or air. It will however give Dems a way to make it seem like they’re doing something about the outcries, without doing anything drastic.

‘Get a cut of your own destruction’ has always been a terrible offer and it’s time we reject it with fury

[Sakura🕷️🕸️ @_altblossom]

The amount of intentionality you need to balance with an unshakable sense of self worth and not overthinking and also being ready to risk it all for success while ignoring the call of shame just to advance your life can feel mad tiring!

[payton @glass_wrld]

getting rid of a band tee you don’t wear anymore feels like putting a dog down

[ENIDNON @tiratart]

I believe you can always resolve and reconcile things with others if the love is mutual and the bond is strong while also catering to what’s healthy for you and acknowledging your feelings. I think everyone is very scared and all we can do is be as human as possible
