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.

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.”

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.

To Liberation
You come alive before me,
Projected from my heart.
You are new and ancient, and have waited a very very long time.
So have I.
You are noetic, actual and material. It’s how I know you can be both seed and cedar
Hoary and yielding sapling
W/a huge canopy
Of starlight.

Underdiscussed point: how much responsibility Substack bears for Bari Weiss being in the position she is now in.
Fuck substack
Fuck substack
the quality of work that bari weiss produced at THE FREE PRESS was dogshit-tier bad (even by the standards of right wing slop) but it was a financial success anyway because Substack's right wing owners and other oligarch benefactors heavily promoted it.
