My favorite thing about Baltimore is that you always can just go up to a complete stranger and talk to them. I’ve lived in so many different places and this is the only place that’s like pretty universal.

Did it once again 🙈 happened to be doing research on the decolonization of tattooing and folk Vietnamese lore at the same time which felt a bit like another ancestral push 🥰

As you read this, take as many deep breaths as you need, while taking in the abundance of Real research that exists. A 🧵 copy and pasted directly from my new book We Are F**king Machines: Why We Are Like This and What We Can Do About It.

Still fitting in these times, and even more so as I am hung through a health scare/crisis

#jamsession Especially in this new regime/new world that requires our bravery, remember:
It's not "at the end of the day all l've got is me" it's "to get through these days, we must rely on each other" 1/ #survivorship #community #music #safespace

If I don’t write I will forget to breathe. The world is burning, the pen is my shovel and the page is my Mylar blanket. More #poetry I’ve thrown together in insomnia hours

NEW: RFK Jr.'s "radical transparency" means ending a 54-year-old transparency policy.

A Nixon-era policy gave the public the ability to comment on HHS decisions relating to “public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.“ RFK Jr. ended that on Friday. www.lawdork.com/p/rfk-jr-rad...

*Reminder: not all action has to be and actually, is organized or lofty.*

Action also happens *organically and within simplicity*. Mutual aid isn’t just weekends and narcan distribution it’s asking your neighbor what they need, it’s giving out the starter vegetables you have to thin out anyways

Excerpts on a current project, the prompt was daddy issues 🫠

I’ve been quiet bc I am ill and feeling a decent baseline has been an uphill battle turned pipe dream. That being said, when my brain can cooperate in fleeting moments- of course I write, literally what else would I do.
