With my book in pre-order, I've started talking about the IP regime, Disney, fascism, and how the company helped build the current moment. There's a conversation with the incredible @ellaguro.bsky.social in Tank Magazine and an appearance on It Could Happen Here pod!

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.” ― Assata Shakur, Assata: An Autobiography

Rest in power, Assata Shakur. "A wall is just a wall and nothing more at all. It can be broken down. I believe in living I believe in birth I believe in the sweat of love and in the fire of truth. And i believe that a lost ship steered by tired, seasick sailors, can still be guided home to port."

solidarity and love to the Bluestocking crew as they go through this hard process of ending ..... www.bluestockings.com

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.

Q: "Why are culture and art important while the world is burning?" A: "The world has been burning since 1492. Art and culture have been crucial for creating a sense of belonging, spreading radical ideas, resisting empire, imagining new worlds, building community, and helping you find your murder."

I TRULY love creating spaces for folks to come together to make stories and share. collaboration is love.

new piece by Shuli!! "People contain unknown possibilities that only blossom given the right situation. The possibility was latent, but then it comes out with the right people." www.cawshinythings.com/maybe-everyo...

They are forcibly detransitioning people. They are denying life saving abortion care. They used the lifeless body of Adriana Smith as an incubator without her or her family's consent. They are denying millions vaccines which prevent deadly & chronic illness. These too are violence.

quietly judging all the group chats that aren't popping off

"they are going to use this against us." where you been, they are murdering black people in the streets for selling CDs, they are rounding up hispanic people for being at a home depot, they are sending people to foreign torture prisons for tweeting about Palestine. The terrain is SHIFTED

With the words given to us by wonderful folks, we formed a poem, written in multiple voices, followed by a litany, a prayer for these times. Poetry knows more than we know, and in between the lines and voices, we hope you find somewhere to live and love 🌹 www.cawshinythings.com/this-is-how-...

"Colonialism is an echo of death that keeps screaming. On the song Thingification with namebuddha produced by AwareNess I tried to show how Kant and Locke were the EBSCO and peer-reviewed journals of their day and seen as experts and how that power helped crystallize global white supremacy." ❤️‍🔥

"I want every wealthy participant in the art buying world to give away their wealth to democratically-run organizations and political artists. I want artists who are experiencing success in the current art world to bring as many other artists along with them as possible." fuck. yes. this, forever.

"Superman is both melting pot and the steel that poured forth; Superman's infinite strength is matched by Clark Kent's devotion to truth. He is an all-powerful übermensch but he fights for and lives among workaday stiffs and regular joes. Imperial might on behalf of homeland democracy."
