Thanksgiving is, has always been, and will always be a celebration of genocide against Indigenous folks in what is now called the ‘us’ and the systems that allowed the genocide to occur and to be celebrated in the first place.

This should be a national shutdown
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

I appreciate that the book reviews for THE EDGE OF SPACE-TIME are all like “Chanda is a strange fuckin nerd but actually it’s very entertaining, buy the book” 😹

@yaffasutopia.bsky.social calls these the “first responders.” The people who have been engaged from the start, before the catastrophe that brings attention to the crisis.

The workshop today was about the roles we claim in upholding fascism and what roles we can claim to create a better world.

I’m a writer, so that’s where my musings are going. How do I do these two things?

Folklore not as nationalistic enterprise. Not culture-defining and defined tropes and myth. Not nostalgia. But something that is decentralized knowledge. A futurism of folklore, as it were.

So grateful for today’s workshop from @yaffasutopia.bsky.social . I’m honing in on how I can use my skills to prefigure a better world, and address how I uphold the world as it is now. I think the same roles apply here.

Folklore is very gross, friends. It has so much fascism on it.

If your analysis of Venezuela starts and ends with one white man then you’re most likely part of the problem. This isn’t the first invasion, it is not the last. Empire functions as it’s meant to. If you believe the above then you also function as Empire demands.

Send this to anyone in your life who pretends this is about defending Venezuelan democracy or whatever
In November, I sat with two Venezuelans who fled the country after protesting Maduro.

Trump's masked ICE agents had just taken their son.

The boy's mother told me, "In Venezuela, if they take you, you don’t come back. This left me with the same impression.”

The media doesn’t talk enough about the fact that ”Let’s Make America Great Again” was Reagan’s 1980 campaign slogan

Nothing this man does is original, at all, including illegal/imperial invasions in Latin America

“Please do imperialism the legal way,” is a take I just saw on here.

I thought that was just a meme.

Just saying out loud that I remember this morning when they were saying that they weren’t going to do anything besides the Maduro kidnapping

Before they announced they were also going to run the entire country

I remember a few hours ago

Shout out to @yaffasutopia.bsky.social for the use of “cute.” You should check out their podcast and workshops.

Also shout out to that Sufi guy who said “only God is non binary.” Haha so very close!

For those watching #StrangerThings, remember that the cast passed around signs saying they are proud zionists in the middle of an ongoing livestreamed genocide carried out by the zionist regime.

Please say “ethnic cleansing” when posting this stuff because that’s what they’re broadcasting. They’re broadcasting plans to engage in ethnic cleansing.
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Ngl, I still fret a lot about asking for help with bills and getting out of debt.

In this week’s session of the Utopia workshop series hosted by @yaffasutopia.bsky.social, all my reflections were all about how I can provide care. It was a really important point that receiving care is crucial too.
