The Measure of the World By attending to the vibrant specificity of Black life, poet Dionne Brand contests the cruel mathematics of empire.

“Innocence, she told me, is ‘the gift of dominance, or of one’s favorable adjacency to it—the proposition that it is possible to not see, which capital can buy depending on your relationship to it.’”

Changing your relationship with social media to cut back on needless nonsense is very helpful during these times. It feels good to have pointless drama come to you and not know anything about it because your attention is where it matters most.

No one deserves detention.

No one deserves deportation.

No one deserves prison.

No one deserves to be separated from their loved ones.

No human is illegal. Free them all.

"…in the bland “utopia” of value pluralism, where one thing is as good as the next, there are musics that hunt for an exit."

This is a small excerpt from a song by Hampton Gerbrandt, a Black trans artist living in Vancouver. This show was in 2019 at Unit 2, a Do-it-Together space run by @lalforest.bsky.social team and community. Love them, love Hampton, love this space. Thankful for community!

We are fine
In our trembling
In our fear
Our silence holds lifetimes of
Beauty and bloodshed
To Love deeply 
And Honestly 
Beyond sorrow
That sings softly 
With the wind
They’ve danced battles
Moved in chaos with lovers
Kissing wounds 
That close and open
We find moments of release
