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?

idk i just think about how the people in my life who showed me bad bunny now live in fear for their safety and i get really emotional about it

I don’t know whether or not this child is actually Liam, but, at a minimum, the interaction was meant to evoke Liam.

“I love America and having fun with my friends and I think families and kids are great andI have enough space in my heart for other countries and America is great even if we didn’t have power for months because FEMA shit the bed but America is great”

Those are my politics too!

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

Like, I think my ancestors were whispering in my ear when we saw the sugar cane that the spent their lives being forced to cultivate for no pay, with no freedom

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

My takeaways from Bad Bunny nobody asked for

1. the inclusion of afro-Latinidad
2. the use of kids AS kids. they weren't doing much but vibing (said positively).
3. I think there are a lot of easter eggs that require repeat viewing
4. everyone looked like they were having so much fun

Guys, guys—I found a Superb Owl that is also a Super Bowl!!!

Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids

Armies wear uniforms for a reason. And not just because it makes the laundry easier.

I am reminded of certain lilac blossoms on a certain Glorious 25th of May. How do you tell your comrades from your potential murderers? A carrot, a leek, a lilac sprig, a red knitted hat, a frog costume.

Duh.

Whistle Up 2: Rise of the Whistle Goblins | dansinker.com

@dansinker.com: “Last November … I wrote a piece called ‘Whistle Up,’ about … how to procure whistles for your own community. This post serves as a sequel.”

This is the dumbest possible timeline

The ‘You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore’ guys have now made it against the law to use the word Black at college.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

4. Every goddamn piece of protest is performative. Everything about society is performative. That isn’t WRONG.
5. How do you know that the only thing these “liberals” are doing is knitting hats? Because I see these hats on school pickup duty, on neighborhood patrols, at grocery drop offs.

A neighbor asked me if I knew where to get a free whistle. I asked for a bunch from @dansinker.com's whistle crew and put bowls of them out at my workshop and apt courtyard, and my neighbors are taking them and we're talking together about anti-ICE actions.

My almost 105 year old abuelita-in-law is VERY excited for Bad Bunny. She came from the island, and for her entire life, she’s been an American citizen! Voted for FDR! 🇵🇷🇺🇸

2,000-Year-Old Roman Bowl Discovered Intact in the Netherlands Unearthed in the Dutch city of Nijmegen, the blue glass artifact was in pristine condition

In honor of the Super Bowl, here’s a 2,000-year-old Roman glass bowl recently discovered in the Netherlands.

You can’t see it as well in the image below as in other photos, but, in the right light, this super bowl glows with a stunning cobalt blue radiance.

This is true.

And all the more striking because we *barely* integrated. Most organizations remain highly segregated but even minor integration was too much for some folks.
