Trump doesn’t even know what a regime is, but it sounds foreign so he wants to change it.

they're doing it for gender, imo

The real story of heated rivalry is that a top can have a nice ass, too.

“We are going to run Venezuela” what the actual fuck does that mean!?

I vowed not to be surprised by anything anymore but what the actual fuck.

I wrote about heated rivalry and being a closeted athlete. open.substack.com/pub/josephmp...

Started writing about being a closeted collegiate athlete in the early 2000s, apropos of the gay hockey, and will post before the year is done.

If we are stuck asking the old questions in the new situation what does that produce?

If the pretendians want to be us, Let them go to the cemeteries Where the children are buried And dig them up To compare Their stories To ours.

Late night speculation: if the Epstein files were not incriminating, then they would be fully released. Bonus: Since they are incriminating, they are not being fully released.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

The Alchemy Lectures are some beautiful books. Highly recommend @dukepress.bsky.social @hystericalblkns.bsky.social @blacklikewho.bsky.social @pepepierce.bsky.social

I mean I know and have know about Thomas King and the Abenaki Vermont bs for years, but is there some big pretendian discourse happening now that I’m missing? Or is it just that stuff?

I saw a young person today on the train platform asking Chat GPT if a particular coat would keep her warm. And I wondered: what could AI know about warmth? What could it know of the sensation of wool or cotton or linen against skin, the sensation of compressing one’s muscles, flexing, to keep warm?

This Thursday I’ll be talking about NDN art at Bard. forgeproject.com/programs/for...

Corruption game recognizes corruption game.

It was not skin But an enveloping. It was not desire But a becoming.

I wrote about Bari Weiss newrepublic.com/article/2037...

You know what’s actually inconvenient, Mr. King? Being an Indian who has to constantly deal with the damage caused by pretendians.

King's books, many of which i have read and enjoyed, are conspicuously absent from Bad Indians Book Club. In case you were wondering if this was something a lot of us already knew.

I encourage people to listen. Sonic protection. Acoustic healing.

My heritage is not Cherokee. I am Cherokee. That means something different. But I’m trying not to be a dick and

Fun fact: the art the NY Post used for the illustration of Mamdani is from a 1962 Soviet poster: Glory! to the Soviet People, the Pioneers of Space! by Vadim Volikov.

I’d like to write a book comprised entirely of if/then statements on the subject of Indigenous/ancestral futures. Not a big book but a whole unflinching one.

I’m trying so hard to not revert to my southern over-explaining in emails, and instead embrace the NYC “say what you mean and don’t worry about how people take it” voice. And every email I send feels like a demand, but I’m getting there. Ugh.

If the alighting gaze of wandering men is a prelude to civilization, then the unseen is a repository of desire.
