DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

Right. So boring, not surprised at all.

bluesky is way less chaotic and fun but i guess that’s the price one pays for having ethics :(

2: I would have asked a neighbor and shop owner to talk about the project, with some skepticism, but hope and excitement. 3: remarks from some youth 4: mentimeter poll with mini performance 4: closing remarks from organizer and officials. 5 more music and photos.

If it was my gentrification pep rally I would have: - 1: given the artists a “madlibs” sort of prompt to introduce themselves and their practice. Then they would each ask the community a question…

That event was like…a gentrification pep-rally. But it wasn’t even exciting. If you’re going to “illuminate” the neighborhood, at least bring a band. some gift bags. A Photo Booth. Community mapping. Come on.

Whew! Someone asked what I was practicing and o said “how to sit with discomfort.”

Resource Roundup #1 Building stronger, more resilient, and creative organizations, movements, and communities starts with the tools we choose to use.

I’m starting a weekly round up of tools and resources for building stronger, more resilient and creative organizations, check it out and share what’s useful. open.substack.com/pub/culturer...

He's in his final term, constitutionally. Act like it. Treat him like the lame duck he is instead of letting him think he's going to finagle his way into a third term with SCOTUS's help, assuming he doesn't choke on Big Mac first

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Almost everyone I checked in with this week somehow said they were committing to tending to their creativity and/or having more fun. #fuckshitupwithjoy

Omg yes

I want to put a group of scientists and comedians in a cozy room with really good snacks.

The left needs a LONG GAME goal and if we're being completely honest, the only part of the left coalition that has the long game in mind are BLACK WOMEN.

I can’t get my comfort show, The Parkers, on Netflix outside of the US. Bahhumbug.

if we’re going to abandon reason, embrace superstition, and regress as a society, we should at least bring back tunics, houppelandes, and elaborate hats. we do not need to look this boring while we’re at it

The Audacity of Lorraine O’Grady In wake of her tragic passing today, we revisit our 2024 interview with the renegade and eternally punk-rock conceptual artist.

Lorraine O'Grady lifted me up with her intellect, her wit, her nerve. This assignment came at a point in my life when I needed it and didn't even know. She was a blessing.

I am saddened to know Lorraine has passed, and I am endlessly grateful to her. She lit flames that will never go out. 🖤

Oh, Lorraine. Saying the quiet part loud has never been more poetic and timeless.

About to watch “Jackie’s Back” (1999) starring thee Jennifer Lewis (TY Tubi) for the first time. I never quite knew what “Jackie Washington Day” meant. Felt like I was missing a core Black pop culture reference. The opening credits got me hype! These 90’s cameos are wild!
