As one of the many Black femmes let go this year, I’m raising $500 to pay off debt/bills while I continue to apply for jobs in the Bay Area. $75 of $500 needed cash.app/$lenadreamsi... PayPal.me/lenadreamsin... venmo.com/u/lenadreams... #helpsky #BIPOCMutualAid #MutualAid #Crowdfunding

If you are running, hit me up for a logo. I’ve done like 60 candidate logos and I love giving a good deal to good candidates. Even/especially if you won’t have the resources for a proper logo until after you launch.

*shouts* EVEN AS A JOKE

I am so upset. Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

There are so many reasons to vote for Mamdani, and many more reasons why one should not vote for Cuomo. A huge, not insignificant one, is rewarding @lindseyboylan.bsky.social for the nonstop work she has done to make sure sexually abusive old men don’t get to lord over all of us anymore.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

I often think of what Mariame Kaba says: “Praxis is knowing who to be mad at.”

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead. (And no, I'm not taking questions about this.)

It’s very important that you all know that mid-writing this article, I went upstairs for something and on my way back down, MISSED THE BOTTOM STAIR despite the fact it was all I was thinking about. Can only assume it was a warning. Pray for me.

What can we learn from the political organisers who came before us? Read an extract from the forthcoming collection, WE ARE EACH OTHER'S LIBERATION: BLACK AND ASIAN FEMINIST SOLIDARITIES, edited by Rachel Kuo, Jaimee A. Swift, and TD Tso (@haymarketbooks.org). www.wasafiri.org/content/excl...

To write with urgency, to write poetically, to write with affect that moves the reader to action requires giving up the careerist and opportunist game academia loves to play as the world burns around its ivory towers. www.insurgentthoughts.com/p/a-counteri...

Telling this lady he knocking the coins out her purse when he get home

I said it before: It’s funny that Hayley Williams is writing the songs and albums people want Taylor Swift to make.

“They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face So they don't have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them The South will not rise again Til it's paid for every sin”

the only appropriate response will be to triple down on supporting the targeted groups rather than to do what so many people usually do which is to run away from them.

Chat is it a good sign that it took national reporters an entire month to finally pay attention to the third largest metro in the country being invaded

Damn. This one is really gonna hurt.

Misinformation about gender affirming care is spreading again. Yes kids are getting top surgery, but you might be surprised who they are. Come over to MNB to see the numbers for yourself medicalnewsbulletin.com/are-transgen... 🧪 #EduSky #healthpolicy medsky, 🩺,⚕️ #pediatricpsychology PedSky 🌈🎓

birthdays are cancelled pretty much forever for me, but help make this one special for these kids yall

it is NOT a misunderstanding on bsky's part, it's not about the meme or the argument Link made in good faith contesting the ban, it's that they made rules specifically to use the utterance of ch@rlie k!rk's name as justification for banning people

I was walking down the street in Johannesburg rocking my gay rainbow keffiyeh when an agitated, elderly man stopped me in my tracks. He wanted someone to rant to about how outrageous it is that Mandela's grandson was abducted off the Sumud flotilla and hasn't been returned home yet.

There's a town ~12 miles west of Chicago that is a warzone at the moment. It's called Broadview. It's home to ~8,000 people & every day for 3 weeks, ICE & other state agents have launched increasingly violent attacks against its residents & peaceful protesters, defying the mayor & local fire dept.

Mamdani serves a full, nutritious meal in an era where politics is either deadly poison or vacuous junk food. He uses the tried and true "we did, we can, we will" framework that helps abate cynicism but without papering over past harms or present injustice.

I don't understand how people look at the current state of the world and still insist voting for the "lesser evil" is a solid strategy. As if that isn't precisely what got us here.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

as a reminder, trans men make on average 70 cents on the dollar vs cishet white men and trans women make on average 60 cents on the dollar vs cishet white men. is that not a fuckin kitchen table issue

is “i need access to the medicine that keeps me alive” not a kitchen table issue. is “i need to be able to piss safely” not a kitchen table issue. is “should kids be able to play sports with their friends” not a kitchen table issue. god i hate this framing so much

Ignoring the issue is what Democrats did last year, and it obviously failed and when it failed they blamed trans people for the loss. Democrats want a cycle where every time they lose, they can blame trans people and try to take away more of our rights. Anything to protect Israel lol

Today and every day we’re keeping my friend Nya ALIVE. She isn’t just someone in need. I wish we could be half as fierce as her about keeping Palestinians alive—and stand by her as she stands by her family & community. Give/find her individual link here: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Mamdani was the ONLY dem candidate who opposed mask bans. Which says all you need to know about the “left” in the United States. He will now face Adams, who has said at least three separate times that he wants a city wide mask ban. Mask bans are discriminatory ugly laws that put lives at risk.

You're allowed to share hopeful shit. It's not cringe to want better things.

This is so important. Game of thrones fans should be blowing this up and sending support. Iykyk

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH SKIGGAS HERE ARE SOME MEMES FOR YALLLLL 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

FWIW, I got a six month shot at CVS today in PDX and no one hassled me about it.

Also, I wrote about this (American Eugenics, criminalization & parallel policing of folks at the margins, & the war on sex,) in the Afterword for Body Autonomy: Decolonizing Sex Work & Drug Use that came out last year. synergeticpress.com/catalog/body...

These bills are based on a conservative effort to frame “economic coercion” as the inability to consent to sex work by bastardizing Black feminist theory around intersectionality & capitalism. As if all work doesn’t have the ability to be coercive under capitalism.

I just want to point out there are 2 bills that have been presented (in 2 different states,) that would make it illegal to pay people for porn performance if they are: - pregnant - have a substance use disorder - a “mental illness” - need the money to pay their bills

Worth noting that a number of universities have now sued over withheld and canceled grants, but no university has yet sued over the arrest, detention, and threatened deportation of its foreign students. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

If you’ve ever wanted to read a history of astronomy 🧪🔭 (mostly 19th-20th C) that has no math yet explains how we arrived at the idea of galaxies and our place in the cosmos: my book is on sale rn at Routledge, with free shipping. Go to Routledge.com, search for Belkora. Or find it in a library!

It’s Michelles Williams. Like attorneys general.

She continues to push the limits on just how far a couple boom kak beats and the occasional basic read of white gays can carry her and it kinda tickles me 🤭

I thought trying to name a child was hard. Naming yourself is soooo much harder whew.

if you want my take on That because I "write" "about" and "research" "space" and "ethics" and "militarism," I have a piece coming out at the end of the month on Basil al-Araj and space 🧿 it'll let you know precisely what I think

This video and my 7,000 word investigation into this Utah law took me literally months, so please please please consider purchasing an annual newsletter subscription to support my work! 🙏

Everything you’ve been told about these laws “protecting child influencers” is a lie!!
