The US government is posting rage bait white nationalist propaganda to get list of social media accounts they should watch for “radical left ideology.”

It’s in the playbook.

I went to the first #André3000 #NewBlueSun show in #Brooklyn. Our phones had to be in sealed bag even while we waited for the show to start.

These are #doodles I made of things I saw and heard and thought about through the show.

Ryan Coogler and the cast and crew of #Sinners told a true blues story. One of love and loss and repression. All wrapped in a Black coming of age, southern gothic horror full length music video 🪕

Tryna make a full transition by the end of the year:

#Twitter -> #Bluesky
#Instagram -> split #Tumblr and #Lapse

Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and the rest just aren’t doing it for me. I need to be where the peace is (which is so wild to say about Tumblr. Times have really changed 😅.)

If there’s one thing video games have taught me, it’s that the world we live in is missing puzzles. A turn of the column here, a press of the button hidden underneath this box there and suddenly you enter the secret section of the library!📚 😃

February is here, yall! Every month is Black History Month, and this month Folks Outside will be focusing on celebrating Black Resilience — and the fruits of that resilience. 🌿✊🏾
Celebrating Black History Month — Folks Outside Three cool Blsck friends stand in front of the Duckabush Tr. 803 sign in Washington state with a snowy forest background. Black man in orange hiking jacket stands in front of Storm King Ranger Station sign, posing like Will Smith when he was showing off his wife. Two Black women hikers stare in shock into base of huge tree trunk, in Olympic National Forest.

(2/2) And there’s so much room for Joy and Imagination when we experience outdoor spaces, in a very radical Black way.

I’m building Folks Outside as a platform for these stories, and community building.

Image of Folks Outside founder, Joshua McKnight with video camera in hand facing the center frame. Text over image: “Sorry! This is heavy stuff and I feel like I should introduce myself. My name is Joshua McKnight, and l'm the founder of the social campaign. Folks Outside.” “Side Note: This is one of my favorite Folks illustrations. It's a little bird! <3” And illustrated arrow points from text to abstractly illustrated bird. Image of large tree in a forest: “Listen, our fears are more than valid. From being enslaved fieldworkers and wading through dangerous swamps to escape enslavement, to having entire trees given colloquial titles such as "Lynching Trees", and then govenment sanctioned segregation from public outdoor parks - both state and national; Nature has played a huge part in the history of our racial trauma. Folks Outside” Collage/moodboard of Black people in nature, over an image of a tree in a forest. There is an illustration of an abstracts boar. Text reads: “But look at what we miss out on.” “Folks Outside” Image of tree in forest surrounded by leaves and vines “Folks Outside takes an Afro-Surrealist perspective on nature and history and community to function as an online ecosystem and resource to find local outdoor individuals and communities. lam looking to build a database for all diasporic-Black americans to find their outdoors community, because the healing takes a village. Please, DM me or email me at Folksoutside@gmail.com if interested. Folks Outside”

There’s a serious correlation between National Parks Service + other US sanctioned land use (like public lynchings) and Black Americans distrust of the outdoors.

WALK WITH ME…
#NationalParks #Blacksky #Nature
“We Need to Talk About The Continuation of Black Resilience and Resistance.” “WALK WITH ME” “A Folks Outside Conversation” Background is of Folks Outside founder, Josh McKnight, walking away from frame on a path in a Forrest with tall green trees. “I recognize that there's a lot of fear within the diasporic-Black American community when discussing going into and/or becoming one with nature. Much of it stems from the historically negative treatment we've received in woods and forests and open rural lands at the hands of white supremacist people and systems. Interestingly, the National Parks Services played a role in that. Let's talk about it. Folks Outside” “The history of the National Park Service (NPS) has been marked by systemic racism and discrimination towards Black and African American people. For decades, NPS faced issues of segregation, exclusion, and racial profiling within national parks, which were originally established as refuges for more affluent white visitors. Folks Outside” “Creating opportunities for Black artists, writers, and historians to contribute to the interpretation and storytelling within the parks can help amplify diverse narratives and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the historical context. Furthermore, the NPS could establish programs that encourage greater participation in outdoor activities by providing grants and resources to organizations dedicated to getting Black folks into the outdoors. Folks Outside”

I’m Josh McKnight — a vibe curator and nature guy.
Photographer, Joshua McKnight, wearing an orange jacket, backwards white cap, black overalls, and brown hiking shoes. He facing the camera while holding a Black Magic pocket 4K cinema camera. He is between two out of focus moss covered trees, standing on mossy ground, near a stream and fallen trees.
