Im very much looking forward to A) supporting my friends in Austin resist the tyrannical legislature, and B) BQ.

Big big big so big! Biiiiiiig

'In the UT system nearly 46% of the population is Latino. And where Latino students are the majority in public schools, calling the histories, literatures, and political realities of these communities “controversial” is not about neutrality. It is about deciding whose knowledge is expendable.'

The dreaded moment has arrived: adopt your textbooks for NEXT semester. Girl, I have no idea.

If the United States was founded, then it is a fiction. And if it is a fiction, then its story requires tellers and listeners. And if it requires listeners, a public, an audience, then we can refuse to hear, to heed, its telling.

Happy hump day to those who celebrate.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

"this does not need a balm this needs an ending" --Dionne Brand, Nomenclature for the Time Being Audio: milkweed.org/between-the-...

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” This is why we need to be telling our stories.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me. Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

If you were hoping for some sort of overt political statement: see the literal plantation Benito created to perform in.

Vamos Ricky!!!!!!!

The Weekly Read is "Indigenous Archives" by Floridalma Boj Lopez, which analyzes the modes through which young Mayas in Los Angeles and Guatemala make sense of and respond to transnational structures of settler colonialism. Read the entire book for free now thanks to TOME! buff.ly/BTvGoKo

I am actually a savage.

My commute to work includes a stop at Cold Spring Harbor, birthplace of American eugenics.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Not this

For 4Columns, I wrote about the Wilfredo Lam show at MoMA. He was the first Cuban artist to enter the collection, but his masterpiece, The Jungle, hung near the coatcheck for years. It’s a great show about an artist who saw his practice as an act of decolonization. 4columns.org/d-souza-arun...

If the war has not ended, then the end is not the problem.

First day of class was good. I told them it was not an easy class but we would learn together how to be good relatives, hopefully, and that stuff is hard, but worth it.

Heated rivalry + One battle after another?

Fucking monsters

Hazarding a theory: the phrase “when the ice melts,” is used constantly in the discussion of US aggression toward Greenland, as in: “when the ice melts, we will drill for minerals,” taking the melting of the ice as a foregone conclusion, and this phrase is indicative not of a geopolitical strategy..

Pre-ordered and can’t wait!

I swear if I see another person with a dog off leash in the on leash part of the park I’m going to scream.

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

Every NDN is a miracle. Fuck Ice. Bring me another blanket. French is just ok. Lines are not property. Men are the worst.
