FUCK UP THE SYSTEM ALERT: Southerners on New Ground is organizing a Grocery Solidarity Network for folks in the South. You can sign up to be a grocery deliverer/funder or grocery recipient. I signed up to support Central Texans, you can do the same for your area! www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...

The Weening has begun

Meanwhile my friends in government don’t have their paychecks and there’s moms in the local Buy Nothing group asking for formula and diapers because their WIC stopped

I should be doing other things. But I’m speed calibrating a Walkman instead.

Please consider donating to Ahmed and his family.

"oh this march is stupid it should have been a -" ok so do that. "people wearing costumes are silly they should be-" stop talking and do whatever the end of that sentence is.

My CEL is back on in my car, but I got tamales at the powwow so you can’t tell me nothin’

You like ‘Like a Prayer’ because of Deadpool & Wolverine. I like ‘Like A Prayer’ because I listened to it non-stop in MIDI format on a Bulma and Vegeta fan-fiction site in 1999. I forget where I was going with this, welcome to the club 👍

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20. Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

I knew last year I would need a big package of corn husks, for art reasons. I was right; I have an opportunity to put some art in a booth at the Zwolle Tamale festival and now I’m making paper mache tamales for fascinators at 9pm

Completing a corn maze is a form of ego death

I know I’m tired and not thinking right if I’m mindlessly scrolling threads. THREADS

I didn't realize she was rambling on about how poor she was again until I saw my analytics spike on this video. If you want to know what Joanne used to say about her poverty before she started stretching the truth - this is it. youtu.be/NeFUqCrmPC0

And they poured bleach on the swimmers that went anyways.

Gotta participate in this year's -tober challenge

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

There's a reason they chose this spot: it's in rural North Louisiana, one of the poorest places in the country, a place national media barely knows exists, a place with essentially no local journalism, where people and resources can be exploited (and lied to) with no consequence

This week we're centering stories of resistance, were laughing at the pathetic cowardly fash, were not letting liberal bootlicking convince us all is lost. This week we're loudly, proudly the anti-state family abolishing gay nightmare they piss themselves about.

I rest my case.

i think leftists who can't accomodate people of faith into their politics are really really making a profound mistake

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

Voids we have known

If you wanna learn more about how Blacksky works, I recently wrote a blogpost for @newpublic.org explaining everything in depth and tried to use accessible language newpublic.substack.com/p/how-blacks...

This is the kind of video essay you stay up late for. I wish I could weave together thoughts, feelings, facts and citations half as well as this channel does. And with so much kindness and compassion. And then unravel concepts you thought immutable. Guaranteed to give your brain a new wrinkle!

Um

My Labor Day weekend and subsequent week has been hell so I’m just now processing Gavin Newsom trying to use my town as a pawn in a political gotcha against Mike Johnson and Trump and…liberals are *still* too hung up on pointing out the right’s hypocrisy. They don’t care. It’s how they show power.
