vanguardism and solidarity economies solve a lot of this….

Don’t make no sense how good a chicken caesar wrap is

Why is Texas so far from Texas? Everything i wanna go to is in Arlington or fort worth lol.

I know that’s not a possibility for everyone. But in order to survive, we’re going to have to lean on each other. Friends are also going to have to figure things out with each other.

Growing up, we were always a multi generational house. My aunt also. We had other family in and out at at different points. Even our Texas family if they needed something for a bit.

Things are tight for married people and people living together. We also gotta get back to mutual aid. White people convinced a lot of us to be individualistic because it’s easier to break us.

“It's hard to want to be here when it looks like the other side can help you and your family today. And so we have to constantly reground ourselves in what is the project, so that we are not enticed." - Breya "Monaye" Johnson

“And one thing we know about empire - is it's enticing. It captures not just our movements, but our desires, our weaknesses, our material needs - our everything - it's enticing.”

“So I think if we understand that - we want to be in principled struggle because we don't ever think that we are outside of the possibility of doing harm or straying away from the project.”

“....it's really hard, but I really do think it's checking that ego and having that power analysis and also not thinking that you are ever above becoming damn near a Kamala. I'll say it. Because she started out as somebody with a Marxist text in front of her too.”

“So I think again, going back to the question; 1. Are you doing your work? and then 2. Do you have a power analysis? and 3. What is the project that you're even critiquing? What is the critique for?”

“You may FEEL like I hurt your feelings because you occupy a certain position of power and I critiqued you; that is not the same as me actually hurting YOU. Those two things are completely different.”

I’ll always reshare this. It is truly worth watching over and over.

speaking of elite capture… it’s still a few folks on facebook saying the quiet part out loud

i need ya’ll to READ but specifically read elite capture

The farther you get away from me, the more adorable I become.

Something about Sunday naps

I guess some of yall have your settings to where people can’t respond to you if they don’t follow you (or you don’t follow them) and i totally get it but hey, sometimes i do wanna respond when yall quote my post LOL

this time last year i was in Spain with my sis and homegirl celebrating my homie’s birthday 💛🇪🇸

Ladies and gents, presenting my Mini-me.. 😄🐎🐴🥰 #horse #calf #unboxing

Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, & John Brown were all mad people who were abolitionist liberation fighters, I’m going to be exploring that in my writing.

Not the post-nut depression…

A bitch can’t even be old-fashioned and cook a Sunday pot roast dinner because it’s damn near $9 a pound. That’s almost double what it was this time last year!

I really do want us to be freed from the shackles of compulsory heterosexuality

I *wish* straight men could be a little “gayer” so they could freely explore more aspects to their pleasure, or desire, or attraction, or relationships, etc.

still thinking about that question around men getting called gay by women who they rejected. I think the larger conversation is about what compulsory heterosexuality does to us. even in queer relationships that heteronormativity still shows up. it keeps us all boxed in and entangled.

we will never be free until people are willing to be honest about our elected officials and what they have been complicit in

people say "i don't dream of labor" but... labor is neutral. labors of love. farming. cooking. parenting. all labor. truth is "you don't dream of slave labor under capitalism." SAY IT CLEARLY.

I have concerns about the young woman who listens to Chris Brown every day

it was mostly the ones already posted in this thread but the ones that always struck me was “by the way”. it was a big no no to say with some of my elders in the church and ive only seen Maya Angelou explain it in her autobiography. “The Way” is Jesus and saying btw is somehow dismissing him

“Those who have dared to speak out against the injustices in this country, both Black and white, have paid dearly for their courage, sometimes with their lives.” —Assata Shakur

I may not be the prettiest or the smartest. But let me tell you this, I'm also not the healthiest. Stop talking to me so I can go lay down.

straight women can be the most deeply homophobic and misogynistic people.

I mean, yes… But she ended up being right.

I always find it alarming that men will listen to him say this and not immediately tell him that he’s an idiot. and I think this happens pretty often amongst the menfolk. because why wouldn’t you respond to that with an immediate STFU

I REALLY wish I didn’t know how to read some days 🫤

Yes I said I would go hiking today but I was much younger and far more idealistic yesterday.

this is why im gonna shut this account down soon. 😩 ive been making my little list of people i want to stay in contact with but im so tired of having to be so hyper vigilant 😔

Saw a cool mushroom on my run today

I have never met an artist who's said "sigh, I wish a computer could do this for me." Not artists? sure, all the time.

how do i say hi in spanish? oh ok thanks yeah i got so hola last night

I’ll never forget we had a boy in my 4th grade class that was a Jehovah’s Witness so he didn’t stand for the pledge or say it. I stopped doing it too. Even with the irony of religious belief being the reason, i knew they were on to something.

I knew in 4th grade, it wasn’t something I was supposed to be repeating. And I didn’t. The indoctrination starts very young.

If you’re going to say men listening to misogynistic podcasts and watching extreme porn is the exact same as women engaging with romantasy and true crime, I want you to cite sources on how many men kill women per year and how many women kill men per year in your both-sidesism.

It’s fed behavior. It’s not a coincidence that’s it so many bot accounts over here.

I blocked “someone” yesterday bc it was giving bot or fake account. And that is very common over here. Weird ass accounts that look bot like but not super obvious.

My period is doing me like this

“Theory doesn't radicalize you. Experience trying to survive under capitalism radicalizes you. Theory makes it all make sense and shows you what's possible. This combination of experience and a strong theoretical foundation makes you a potential revolutionary.”

Theory must be a way to clarify the stakes and to clarify the plans for action and to generate both daily tactics and a wider program! If our theory does not offer us the root causes and things we can do to intervene, it is useless! Our thinking must be a map to action as much as possible!
