Thinking about how we are living in the ruins of the last apocalypse. “The Apocalypse of Settler Colonialism” that Gerald Horne describes took place at the same time some of these buildings were made. [Old City, Philadelphia, PA]

Enjoying the first evening sunset of the season. Today I read this line: “Journalists work late at night. Poets work at dawn. Don't fool yourself.” from Hospice by Pearl Cleage from “The Woman I Am” that resonated. [March 2025, Philadelphia, PA]
Water rippling during sunset with an orange yellow color in the sky on the horizon. Pink clouds on a light blue sky with rippling river water in the foreground and the Philadelphia skyline in the distance. The moon surrounded by tree branch at dusk. The moon near an old timey light fixture with the Philadelphia Art Museum peeking out of the corner and trees around

Being with someone as they experience and try to communicate their intuitive fears and tender hope feels like dusk. It’s a liminal space where what’s happened (the day) and will happen (the night) converge and become a new impossible inevitability [February 2025, Philadelphia & NJ]
Photo of a street in Philadelphia from a car at dusk. There are skyscrapers to the right in the distance and smaller buildings closer up on the right side of the photo. The sky is mostly a light blue except closer to the horizon in between the buildings on the distance where it is a soft orange. Orange sunset photographed from the drivers seat on a high way with the lights of the cars standing out in the shadows of the sky. Some of the sky reflects on the hood of the car on the lower edges of the photo.

“The plot of European colonialism has always been one of ecological degradation and of forgetting“ [Dark Laboratory, 2.24.25]
Screenshot of e-book cover of “Dark Laboratory: on Columbus, the Caribbean, and the Origins of the Climate Crisis” by Tao Leigh Goffe The cover is a dark golden yellow with a palm tree at the center and smokestack off the the side. Denial of the colonial condition, denial of the origins of the crisis, limits our imagination and how to live after. Denial clouds our memory of the thriving world markets that functioned before the advent of modern capitalism. Screenshot of e-book with highlighted portions (highlights are ***). Full text reads: *dislocation of diaspora makes them feel far. To be part of a diaspora is to have the memory of a dish we have never tasted. That dish feeds our future.* **The plot of European colonialism has always been one of ecological degradation and of forgetting.** The key to undoing the violence of this erosion lies in restoring the land and the living vespertine rhythms of plants, animals, and geologies. *Intergenerational knowledge can be activated , but it is also critical that we learn to protect territories to which we are not native.*

Yesterday’s sunset [February 2025, Philadelphia, PA]
Lay off the sunset light on a river reflecting off mirrored skyscrapers in the distance. The sun peeks out of a small gap between 2 buildings and spills onto the river. Sunsetting over a hill in the background onto water in foreground. The suns rays extend far out.

Soothing my brain by looking at these beautiful stormy summer clouds from last year

[June 2024, Some highway in NJ]
Gray, stormy clouds advancing on a clear blue sky from the POV of the left side of the car. The clouds reflect in the car side mirror on my window and door. There are small shrubs and dry, reed like near the side of the round and trees in the distance. Stormy clouds on a mostly blue sky with large apartment buildings and trees on the horizon.

The “camps” already exist. We call them prisons or what Angela Davis calls a “black hole” for all that racial capitalism wants to obscure. We are deeply and intimately connected to what happens in prisons, “immigration detention centers,” and in these two prisons in upstate NY.
Screenshot of a passage from Angela Davis’s work “Are prisons obsolete” on a green background prison therefore functions ideologically as an abstract site into which undesirables are deposited, relieving us of the responsibility of thinking about the real issues afflicting those communities from which prisoners are drawn in such disproportionate numbers. This is the ideological work that the prison performs—it relieves us of the responsibility of seriously engaging with the problems of our society, especially those produced by racism and, increasingly, global capitalism. What, for example, do we miss if we try to think about prison expansion without addressing larger economic devel-opments? We live in an era of migrating corporations. In order to escape organized labor in this country-and thus higher wages, benefits, and so on-corporations roam the world in search of nations providing cheap labor pools. This corporate migration thus leaves entire communities in shambles. Huge numbers of people lose jobs and prospects for future jobs. Because the economic base of these communities is destroyed, education and other surviving social services are profoundly affected. This process turns the men, women, and children who live in these damaged communities into perfect candidates for prison. In the meantime, corporations associated with the punishment industry reap profits from the system that manages prisoners and acquire a clear stake in the continued growth of prison populations. Put simply, this is the era of the prison industrial complex. The prison has become a black hole into which the detritus of contemporary capitalism is deposited.

Greater celandine: the orange sap has been traditionally used on warts. The name Celandine comes from the ancient Greek word for the “swallow” bird because it was said to begin to bloom as the swallows returned and die when they left. [2.10.25, Philadelphia, PA]

Sun setting on peacefully lapping waves.The sky and waves are a burning orange with grey clouds high in the sky.
