Just experienced my 2nd earthquake 😬

Why I came to the DMV with no food on my tummy…the world may never know

Me and swiss chard go together real bad

Chile…at least the poetry coming out this era gone be fire 🥲

February 26, 2025: Revolution begins in the body. Freedom begins in the imagination. Liberation is what happens when we feel and imagine together.

Individual freedom is not a pre-requisite for liberation. It's actually often what gets in the way of liberation because liberation is a group project.

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Let me tell you this, bud, a majority of your rights are tied in with disability policy because not only can they weaponize it against anyone, but they know Nondisabled people won’t pay attention.

Wait till you hear about how they use disabled people to squash minimum wage increases.

Individualism

Tbh you all should have gleened how this country feels about disabled people from the fact that anytime yall are nice to one of us it goes viral.

Like that’s extra ordinary behavior.

Oh I also think my love for reading has a big part in this as well

We’ll see chile, we’ll see

And shucks I love to talk and we know that the written word is the dominate form of storytelling here so it could be that these stories need to be told orally…maybe both?

Causeeee the way my storytelling desires started resurfacing and book ideas start flowing

So I always said I hateeeee writing and I think I just was meaning college essays

Bro whattttt😭😭

I’ve been thinking about Toni Cade Bambara a lot lately, for many reasons. She said “As a culture worker who belongs to an oppressed people my job is to make revolution irresistible.” That’s my mission and vibe.

And great many of you are forging repellant, lonely revolutions. Good luck with that.

Revolution begins in the body!

Again: I don’t think the primary goal of the anti-D.E.I. authoritarianism we’re seeing is re-segregation. It’s TOTAL human enslavement to corporations. Re-segregation is just a stop on that train. Explicit white supremacy and patriarchy are being used to make techno-fascism seductive to the masses.

I’m so sick of people talking bout this metaphorical table they want and “deserve” to be at like it wasn’t one, built on our dead kin’s bodies and two, imbedded with the most oppressive systems known. Please break out the delusional for your own and literally every being coming after our’s sake.

It is so *weird* living in a new reality that most people can't even see. Million of people think they're still living in a world that no longer exists. Wildly disconcerting times.

to heart*
idk why I didn’t finish this post lol

I get told I’m beautiful and have a beautiful voice everyday at this adult day center…with a mask on lolll 😭 I need to use this to my advantage

Studying Black Feminism and Womanism is so affirming to my soul 🥹
