Great piece from Musa Springer on Walter Rodney, decolonization, and abolition

hoodcommunist.org/2025/08/14/w...
If we can understand this colonial nature in the essence of the majority of the colonized world’s current prisons and our dominant forms of policing, then we can begin to understand abolition not as some new age framework of activism, but a tradition and a necessity in our moves towards decolonization. Understanding the theory and praxis of abolition in this light is keenly important, namely because Pan-Africanism, Black Marxism, iterations of Black Nationalism, and other radical ideological tendencies within the Black Radical Tradition may be able to more strongly adapt abolitionist frameworks and modes of engagement into their own theories of change.

LOVE IN A F*CKED UP WORLD by @deanspade.bsky.social is a book I’ve been itching for.

I’ve long felt lost about how to practice politics interpersonally after being burned from a former organization.

What I love most: it reads more like a love letter rather than a self-help book.
A person holds a copy of the book Love in a Fcked-Up World* by Dean Spade. The cover is bright yellow with bold red text. Several red sticky tabs mark pages throughout the book. The background shows part of a room with furniture and a soft, dimly lit atmosphere.

now this is cool! #safesupply
A screenshot of a research article titled "Qualitative findings from North America’s first drug compassion club," authored by Jeanette Bowles, Eris Nyx, Jeremy Kalicum, and Thomas Kerr. The affiliations listed include the Department of Medicine at St. Paul’s Hospital, University of British Columbia, the British Columbia Centre on Substance Use, and the Drug Users Liberation Front in Canada. The abstract begins with a discussion of the ongoing fatal overdose crisis in Canada, highlighting the unpredictable potency and content of the illicit drug supply. It mentions the Drug User Liberation Front’s operation of a drug compassion club from August 2022 to October 2023, providing drugs of known composition and purity without medical oversight. The study evaluates this initiative qualitatively.

I watched JULES (2023)
movie poster for Jules the movie movie review: ““We need a crosswalk on Trent Avenue between Frost and Allegheny. It’s a very long distance when you’re in the middle and when you need to cross and you need to get to either Frost or Allegheny. It encourages jaywalked and jaywalking is an expensive ticket.” The much needed crosswalk on Trent Avenue between Frost and Allegheny refers to the very real intersection of Cornelia and Main Streets in Boonton, which is a rather dangerous spot despite there already being a crosswalk. There’s a lot of foot traffic on downtown Main Street especially to cross the road to Boonton Coffee Company, the most popular place on the strip (aside from the post office). I have aggressively shouted at cars who refuse to stop for pedestrians TO and FROM therapy appointments! -.5 star for this being canonically set in Pennsylvania. STOLEN VALOR! -former Boonton, NJ resident “I think we ought to change our town motto. ‘A Place to Call Home’ is confusing because when somebody hears it, it can mean it’s a great place to call your home on the telephone.””

I watched Past Lives (2023)
Movie poster for Past Lives Movie review screenshot: “This year, an estranged ex boyfriend—my first love—passed away. I found his obituary one night while trying to reach out and reconnect with him. I told a friend that it felt like he and I “loved each other many times before,” so this film was rather gut-punching for me despite the slow build. “It sounds like [he] figured it out this time,” my friend told me. “I think the next life will be glorious.” Since I’ve happily been in a relationship for five years, it was initially confusing to grieve an estranged ex. I think if I were monogamous I would’ve felt guilt or shame. (I posted about my ex on Reddit, and someone commented—also grieving an estranged ex—that they kept their grief a secret from their husband; that absolutely crushed me.) Monogamy often asks us to suppress grief towards what could have been in the name of what is in the present, despite how strongly the past informs present relationships. Although this film is told through a monogamist lens, it still portrayed loved as expansive. It was heartwarming to see that despite Arthur’s insecurity at first, he embraced Nora as she sobbed after Hae Sung got into an Uber.”

thank god all those tax dollars were spent on a NYPD manhunt for a rural McDonald’s worker to recognize him
How he was found: The suspect was “sitting there eating” at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, when an employee of the restaurant recognized him and called police, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. He credited the tip to the wide circulation of a photo the NYPD released last week of the person without a mask on.

deeply curious of what it was like to be an NYPD scuba diver in Central Park this week
How the investigation unfolded: Investigators deployed drones, K-9 units and even scuba divers during the search, Tisch said. In addition to combing through hours of video — which led to the photo of the suspect without a mask on — detectives also went door-to-door, she said, adding that tips led to the recovery of crucial evidence.
