Reminder:
representation is a tool. treating it as the goal is detrimental to the work we do to uproot systems. void of radical politics, representation simply serves the interests of empire.
We are back!

The romanticization of doing revolutionary work is harmful. Let today’s celebration of Assata be a reminder to do more. To build more community & as always be radical. And a bigger reminder, as a collective- ASSATA & HER WORK WILL ALWAYS BE WELCOME HERE.
today we are celebrating the incredible organizer, educator and revolutionary Assata Shakur born today 74 yrs ago. many, including ourselves, were introduced to radical politics of liberation through Assata, or learned more from her a great deal on their journey of radicalism.
Literally we hate the way we talk about revolutionaries such as those of the Black Panther Party just for aesthetics- yet there’s BPP members in jail, those whose families are seeking help to maintain basic needs & so forth. Literally these are people.
While June is “pride month”, we know pride is all year long. Marking the last day of June- Today, we’re loving these colorized images of Black lesbian & gay folk in the 1900s. Serving joy, love, care, tenderness, face & hair. We love it 🏳️🌈
Throwback thursdays are for remembering when Nollywood gave us some iconic legibility content.
Celebrating the Black LGBTQ community. To our sibs & comrades, esp on the continent, we see & love you. You’re deserving of love & safety in this world.
Happy Pride 🏳️🌈
