‘Cantos que inundan el río’ es una película que me persigue. —— “En Quibdó indagamos mucho por esas poblaciones que migraron por la violencia. Mucha gente no retornó a sus ríos de origen.

Such a New York story. . . "Never Start an Affair with a Brilliant Person” by Pat Lipsky When I had my first show a year later, becoming successful so fast that Tony’s face and my face were advertised together in Art Forum, on separate pages, so if you closed them the faces were together. 1/4

Many people do not know, but ADL spied on ACT-Up in the 80s too. The Apartheid Defense League is not your friend. Omar Zahzah on the New McCarthyism. An excerpt. lithub.com/the-new-m... #palestine #lgbt #gay #surveillance #politicssky #booksky #gaysky 1/10

📚 BIG Q for #readersky: What is a book you’ve read this year that really turned your attention away from Everything We Are Dealing With for a spell? Can be *anything.* I am curious & would love to lift up those books (doesn’t have to be literary. I read a lot of books on mobility for that reason :)

Wearing sunglasses inside at all times is a gamechanger. #survival

Doing research for a crime novel and read a training manual that is considered a standard textbook by homicide investigators. There is a whole section about psychics and how law enforcement needs to collaborate more closely with them. True story. #writing #novels #booksky #LitTok #litsky #books

Brilliant thread worth reading. #techsky #booksky

Jay Vampyre is a highly respected Dominant whose perspective I value, even when I don’t always relate. One of his most widely shared pieces - at least among subs globally, to be honest — is this blog post. jayvampyre.substack.... 🧵 #D/s #kink #bdsm #dominant #submissive #s/m #sexuality 1/7

The closure of Bluestockings is pretty sad. A NYC institution for years and important place for movement people. bluestockings.com

Just spent an hour writing out an excerpt of a book I’m reading where the mother ponders her daughter’s future, but only through the prism of her attractiveness to men. Then I deleted it, lmaooo. #writing #novels #booksky #literature #readersoftiktok #LitTok #litsky #books #writer #reader 1/10

🌈 Not interested in compartmentalizing my interests 🔞but if you only follow me out of interest in one topic and are reallly *not* interested in others, you can mute the topics you are not interested in on your own profile settings. A suggestion 💫

From Small Mercies by Dennis Lehane: “You’re either a fighter or a runner. And runners always run out of road."

“Swimming” by Virgilio Piñera: I have learned to swim on dry land. It turns out to be better than doing it in the water. There is no fear of sinking because you are already at the bottom, and by the same logic, you are already drowned beforehand. 1/6

From “Undiscovered” by Gabriella Weiner. "The strangest thing about being alone here in Paris, in an anthropology museum gallery more or less beneath the Eiffel Tower, is the thought that all these statuettes that look like me were wrenched from my country by a man whose last name I inherited.” 1/3

Camonghne Felix, Dyscalculia: “I loved a man so hard it made me sick.” I keep thinking about that line. I wish she —or her editors— had included more about her relationship to kink, esp D/s. Making assumptions but still. . #booksky #bdsm #novels #trauma

@yairwalllach.bsky.social blocked me for commenting on an article he felt was unfair to a fundraiser sponsored by New Israel Fund. I am not mentioning this to complain or criticize him, but to highlight something important about the genocide and its psychological impact: 🧵

My rant on pleasure doms is evergreen. If I had a penny for every “dom” who pauses then goes on a therapizing monologue after asking me what it is I enjoy, everyone in US would have free healthcare for all family members and their pets for eternity. #bdsm #sad #puritanism

Always a good time to repost a sunset

Jenny Diski, one of the greatest English-language essayists of all time, on her relationship with Doris Lessing. Essay is 10 years old and I still think about it all the time. From “Why Didn’t You Just Do As You Were Told?” in @lrb.co.uk 1/19

Genocide is a tool of statecraft in the 21st century. On the ‘peace’ deal with Congo, Rwanda (currently the zionists’ most reliable African ally), and the United States. From @quincyinst.bsky.social: responsiblestatecraf... 1/13

“Exigent Sadism” from CLAGS with Yin Q and Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou. Realllllly academic, jargony talk, but there are some gems too, in there.

On “green” capitalism, “green” sacrifice zones, and indigenous ecology. Excerp from "Green Sacrifice Zones in Antofagasta” As they expand, the lithium, copper, and green hydrogen industries reinforce each other. 1/17

If beaches were the playgrounds of twenties America, lifeguards were the cool kids. They knew how to swim in an era when many didn’t; they were muscular at a time when hardly anyone exercised recreationally. 1/13

Girrl by Niki Herd Girrl Find one thing to love inside yourself carry it like a gun in guerilla hands and when government defeats you, mountains fall lovers leave, and the words of women before come crashing to the ground hold this love between your hands, sing its name like the alphabet 1/2

Jim Holland (b. 1955). Outside, the shining sea.

Don’t forget: 1. The #FirstAmendment does not cover speech that incites imminent violence. 2. #Fascism has a liberal face. A #genocide apologist is as bad as a genocide enthusiast, potentially worse. 3. Political violence exiles people from civic space, including digital ones.

They never miss.

Question: Were the identities of the eleven people who were killed in the boat off the coast of Venezuela ever confirmed? I have only come across articles that repeat the admin’s narrative or add “allegedly” without more comment. #politics #venezuela #immigration #trump

From The Immortal King Rao by @vauhinivara.bsky.social: “The color red. The sound of a trumpet. The bodies of human beings: the navel, the shin, the shoulder, the toe. That, despite everything, we go on opening and opening and opening ourselves to one another. 1/3

From Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony: “The people nowadays have an idea about ceremonies. They think the ceremonies must be performed exactly as they have always been done, maybe because one slip-up or mistake and the whole ceremony must be stopped and the sand painting destroyed. 1/4

Unless they are Palestinian. Then spend years making endless documentaries, news reports, podcasts, and make sure to interview their parents live on BBC asking if they think their attackers are justified in murdering them off.

Potato chip flavors.

From Dyscalculia by Camoghne Felix: “Off meds and progress in talk therapy plateauing, I’m left to process my penance alone, up at odd hours of the night replaying my cousin’s violation like the feed of a speed camera. 1/5

With enough repetition, anything can become a religion. It doesn’t matter if it works or not, it simply matters that a person returns. -from “Second Quarter: Flawed and Mortal Gods,” There’s Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib

In Mexico, women are, and have been, on the front lines of community defense. In Cherán MICH, Purépecha women drove organized crime from their community. In Teuchitlán JAL, it was the mothers of missing kids who exposed the ranch crematorium. We’re on the frontlines here too.
