Just to be clear: when fascists say that calling out their fascism is a crime, that’s fascism.

You can never break someone who gets their strength from the spirits of their ancestors.

Colonialism was not just theft. It was the invention of a moral language to make theft look like salvation.

I wish more people understood that we are spiritually meant for more. We are meant to be in loving communities, grow our own food, be outdoors and have support systems. Not sit behind desks for most of our lives slowly rotting away and wishing things were different.

If they think Tylenol is bad for children wait till they find out about guns.

is it a dead end?

The US will never recover from this. It’s beyond embarrassing.

well it’s the morning after the rapture and I’m still here. guess they decided to abandon me.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism happens through the erosion of freedom of speech under the guise of ‘law and order’. Fascism isn’t on its way. It’s already here.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross. — Sinclair Lewis

He was a podcaster who built his career spreading lies, stereotypes and misinformation about Brown and Black people. He wasn’t a saint. Get a grip people. This is getting ridiculous.

The real point of literature isn’t just to entertain or inform. It’s to remind you that you’re not the only one who’s ever felt this way before.

America won’t collapse from invasion. I’ve been saying it for years. It’ll collapse from the inside. Under the weight of corrupt greed, racism disguised as patriotism, and the refusal to evolve by holding on to privilege and power instead of prioritising equality and liberty.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but racism isn’t patriotism.

Same planet. Different worlds.

Humans were literally so blessed to be on a planet filled with abundant natural resources, nature, trees, fruit and sunshine but no, we chose debt, capitalism and war.

I think I’m going insane

It’s wild how some people act like being kind and inclusive is radical when really it’s the baseline of just being human.

This is your daily reminder that reading fiction helps you develop as a person and reinforces your ability to empathise with people, so no, fiction isn’t a waste of time. On the contrary, reading fiction makes you more human.

not to be a pessimist or anything but everything seems bad right now

The scary thing is that authoritarianism doesn’t need to just ban books to thrive, it only needs to discredit experts, flood public discourse with misinformation, and frame critical thinking as a threat to social order. And if it wasn’t already clear, we’re living through this right now.

Jimmy Kimmel’s live was pulled off the air because he joked that Kirk’s killer might have been pro-Trump. Now, in case you were wondering, that’s the very definition of state censorship.

Energy is sacred. It’s spiritual. You can’t just go around sharing it with everyone. Not everybody moves with pure intentions. Some people try to get close to you just to suck on the goodness of your soul. Learn the gift of discernment. Not every smiling face is a smiling spirit.

Interesting how the people who were loud about Charlie Kirk are suddenly silent about the lynching. It’s almost as if people’s empathy has a race filter.

Being a writer means taking all the anger and emotion you carry toward the world and pouring it onto paper, hoping that someone, somewhere, will find solace in your words.

A library is a graveyard where the dead still speak.

Interesting how they stopped talking about a “civil war” the moment they found out the attacker wasn’t a person of colour. This says everything we need to know about who their hate was directed to.

I know this may sound weird but you can definitely tell when someone doesn’t read.

Those who are born with privilege see equality as oppression. Read that again.

Just saw a group of yt supremacists leave a rally to go get Indian food and they came back chanting against immigration while eating rotis and curry. You really can’t make this up.

You ever notice how the ones who deny others dignity in life somehow get the loudest mourning in death? That’s privilege.

Art doesn’t fix the world, but it helps you live through it. Stories may not stop oppression, but they remind you you’re not crazy for wanting a better world. Beauty may not pay rent right now, but it can keep you from going numb. We’re not machines. We need something besides survival.

“Oh but politics shouldn’t matter in friendships” Yes it should. Because I can’t be your friend if you sympathise with those who don’t see my people as human beings worthy of existence.

I ain’t crying over someone that didn’t even consider my people human beings.

The world is currently experiencing a massive energetic shift. That’s why so much is happening all at once around the world in this time. It’s causing us to feel more overwhelmed, stressed, experience insomnia, and extreme fatigue. Energy is real.

The best writing advice I ever heard was “Write exactly what you’re most afraid to say, because that’s the only thing worth reading.” I think about that a lot.

Call me crazy but I genuinely think all the world’s problems stem from a lack of empathy.

The real tragedy isn’t that he was shot. It’s that the millions of people he’s dehumanized for years will never be mourned like this. That’s the privilege of who gets to be grieved.

George Floyd was also a father and didn’t receive an ounce of the empathy being shown to Charlie Kirk who mocked and insulted George Floyd.

The gun isn’t the root of the problem. It’s the symbol. The real disease is a culture that treats empathy as weakness and violence as power.

Those who incite violence and hate are someday bound to suffer at the hands of the very same system they endorsed.

We are living in the end times.

Fascism thrives on ignorance. That is why they don’t want you to read history. Because if you did, you’d see that this all happened before.

writing a book is just: day 1 - omg this is genius day 4 - this is trash day 9 - maybe it’s okay day 20 - I’ve rewritten the same 6 words 40 times and I’m having an existential crisis

I have a question I’d like to ask: Do you guys also believe that we are currently headed towards a dystopian future? (If you don’t think it’s already here) Things look very bleak.

The distinction between ‘expat’ and ‘immigrant’ just depends on the color of one’s skin. We live in a world where mobility is racialized as privilege is encoded in the very terms people use.
