emiliminality

i studied journalism. i used to romanticize the new york times like it was a bedtime story.

but we can’t wait three news cycles for institutions with sponsors and shareholders to decide something is “real enough” to care about. by then, we’re already in the rubble.

“is there a chance you could be pregnant?”

me: *hits blunt, considers immaculate conception*

isn’t there a chance we all might be, doc?

at the end of the day, if you can’t speak up for human dignity, do it so you don’t end up alone with the weirdos when all us fun people get banished or whatever

Meta shut down my 250k human rights advocacy account and my 75k Instagram account, where a huge part of my income came from, thinking they would intimidate me into silence.

i am hosting a shadow banned kids party. it’s invite only. it’s queer and creative and full of weird little geniuses. all you moderates have fun on linkedin tho!! i heard they’re catering sweetgreen.

by a strict technical definition, total human extinction would result in lasting peace. so i guess i kinda get it.

if you want to come,

the way one makes silence
for an elder,

or a story that has teeth.

they suffered the first violence
in flesh,
the second in forgetting,
the third in the tour script

retold for laughs,
sold by the hour.

we built an empire
on other people’s endings,
and now we charge admission
to the aftershock.

if there are ghosts,
let them keep their privacy.
let them breathe in the cracks
of the courthouse steps,
in the grass gone wild
over their names.

A famous photograph taken in April 2000 during a federal raid in Miami connected to the custody and immigration case of a six-year-old Cuban boy whose situation had become an international political dispute between the United States and Cuba. The image shows armed federal agents entering a private home to seize the child, who is being held by a relative inside a closet.

This picture was taken in 2000 by an Associated Press photographer who was allowed to be present as an observer. ICE now keeps press blocks away from the areas where they are operating. One of the first actions ICE takes during a raid is to confiscate phones.
