You’re gonna have to be patient for this one. This little Gastropod veliger larva (sea snail) starts out in its shell, but soon feels brave enough to come out and show us its glorious velum! Such a pretty little babe. 🦑 #plankton

Day 7: "The Fateful Triangle" by Stuart Hall.

Jamaican-born theorist Stuart Hall’s book is a powerful critique of how race, ethnicity & nation are entangled. A radical, essential read on identity, power & belonging in a postcolonial world. Clear & accessible writing! 🧶

Day 5: "The Wretched of the Earth" by Frantz Fanon.

A blazing anti-colonial manifesto, demanding revolution of both society and us too. A radical, necessary takedown of colonialism & its aftermath. Fanon reminds us that liberation is collective or it is nothing at all. 🧶

Day 1: "How Europe underdeveloped Africa" by Walter Rodney.

Essential reading by Guyanese historian & activist W. Rodney who explains how Africa has historically been deliberately exploited for western gain. It's an eye opener.

therapist: you open to doing ancestor work to help w/ healing your trauma?

me: yes, my Scottish grandma buried north of San Fran & I've wanted to connect w/ her since moving to Cali

him: ok, let me know how it goes

my partner, hearing me sobbing in the shower: you sure you want to do this today?

California may be called a "sanctuary state" but we're still plagued by these gestapo agents & I noticed when I moved back to Monterey, these stickers have appeared on the local buses

"sanctuary" please, our governor is ready to throw everyone to the wolves for a future presidential run

Again - everyone who demonised the student protests is complicit in this.

Especially the Democrats. You all laid down the foundation for increased suppression and punishment for the crime of standing up against genocide.
SCOOP—State Dept. now requires "enhanced" social media vetting for student visa applicants suspected of "ties to terrorist orgs/activity" or applicants who previously held a visa starting Oct. 7th, 2023.

State Dept. demands 'enhanced' social media vetting of student visa applicants
It’s tied to Trump’s executive orders re: terrorism and antisemitism, per an official cable review by The Handbasket.
