And the revolutionary antidote is community. Don't isolate yourself in a nuclear family. Nuclear families are vulnerable fiefdoms. The ideal is supposed to be community.

The serial, intimate violence they inflict on women behind closed doors is not aberration but exemplary; it is the unfiltered expression of the same hierarchical, extractive, and proprietary logic they extend across every scale of power they command.

The Epstein files simply lay bare what the apex colonizers, the ruling-class elites actually practice once the public mask is removed: domination is their core epistemology.

Yup, we've been telling you repeatedly: the nuclear family is designed for control. Control of women, control of populations. That's why capitalist governments push it so hard. That's why marriage comes with tax incentives.

Polyamory also built the Berlin nightlife, Kensington Market in Toronto, 2020s Brooklyn etc

We’re great builders.

Heartbreak of the week: learning that Noam Chomsky has vehemently defended Epstein multiple times, including after his convictions, and considered him a good friend. I also learned this week that Chomsky said Antifa was a gift to the right.

Don’t learn more about your heroes.

Not sure who needs to hear this but leftists who are quick to cancel, constantly call people out, or scrutinize other leftists over the smallest missteps are carrying on the legacy of Christian puritan culture.

Shibari comes from hojojutsu, a martial rope techniques used to restrain and shame prisoners in imperial Japan. These roots include fascist policing. Post-WWII, artists eroticized them as kinbaku. Its origins, like Western BDSM, lie in carceral and colonial control.

And more importantly, to reflect on what it means to speak with authority on histories they may not have studied. Some humility goes a long way in conversations this nuanced.

If you’re citing 101-level texts to refute 500-level conversations, you might be missing the forest for the trees. I encourage people to meet these topics with the complexity they deserve.

Sex in History is not a foundational text for decolonial relational work. It barely scratches the surface and reflects a white anthropological lens. Citing it today only shows how under-researched many online critiques are.

That’s a book I read as a teenagerβ€”over 20 years ago. Since then, I’ve engaged deeply with hundreds of books and taken university-level coursework in gender studies, history, anthropology, and critical theory.

Nick, with three biomedical degrees, brings a scientific precision to our collaborations. Recently, a small influencer attempted to β€œdebunk” my statement about BDSM and colonialism by referencing Sex in History by Reay Tannahill.

People often underestimate the depth of research that goes into our work. I have hyperlexia, which allows me to absorb and synthesize vast amounts of information quickly. Before I speak on any topic, I read everything I can find.

Shooting outside of historic Stonewall Inn after NYC's Pride March: Mayor The shooting occurred Sunday night in the Greenwich Village neighborhood.

They shot two people after Pride outside the Stonewall Inn. News is still coming in, but this reminds me of when Dylannβ€―Roof attacked the AME Church in Charleston, precisely because of its significance in civil‑rights movements. These people know what they’re doing

She backed the Palestinian genocide and before that extended prison slavery.

No matter who’s in charge, colonialism means endless hegemony and expansion.

Until we dismantle the disease, colonizers will keep colonizing.

How long do you give this truce? It wasn’t actually ever about nukes. Israel is a death cult that wants regime change in Iran and a greater Israel. A continued war with Iran is inevitable because colonizers are always going to seek expansion + don’t tolerate ideological opposition to their hegemony

The West are colonizers and always have been and always will be until the colonialist mindset is uprooted.

Gaining independence isn’t enough, because colonialism is a disease that stays long after.

I keep thinking about that moment when Gaddafi warned a room full of Middle Eastern leaders that what happened in Iraq would happen to all of themβ€”and they laughed.

Colonialism always moves in fractals. What starts with one becomes a pattern.
