This wasn’t just music—it was a statement that Black artistry does not need permission, validation, or approval to take up space.

For artists who fear speaking truth to power, this is a lesson in courage and artistic integrity. No matter how mainstream the platform, it can always be done.

As an arts researcher and scholar, I could write papers on Kendrick’s Super Bowl halftime show for years. The layered symbolism, historical callbacks, and sheer artistry turned the biggest stage in entertainment into a radical act of resistance. This was more than a performance—it was a thesis.

The revolution was televised—and some of y’all walked straight into the point, slammed your faces into it, and still don’t get it. @kendricklamar3.bsky.social flipped the Super Bowl stage into a battlefield of truth, made Trump sit through it, and exposed the rigged game. The outrage proves he won.

Listen, things are fucked, but that doesn’t mean your accomplishments don’t matter. Wrote a book? Got accepted to a program? Recorded a song? One year sober? Whatever it is, share it. Maybe your joy will bring someone else a bit of joy, and we all need that.

Maybe if the arts weren’t constantly defunded, more people would’ve caught the symbolism in @kendricklamar.bsky.social’s halftime show instead of just tweeting, “Why are there no white people?”

A right that can be given and taken away at the whim of power is not a right at all—it is a privilege, a leash disguised as liberty. If the mere shift of an administration can strip away protections, then we were never free to begin with. We were simply tolerated.

It has begun again, the pre-bedtime ranting about @lastweektonight.com 🤦🏻‍♀️

Him: it’s not last week anymore! It’s SOMETIMES last week but NOT tonight!

Me: 👀

Him: it’s been since November! Where the fuck has he been?

Me:

Him: the show title is very misleading!

I cannot continue to speak out for @lastweektonight.com at my home. My partner has gone mad and on the daily, complains about the production schedule as if he has suddenly forgotten how television seasons work.

If recognizing Colonial Stockholm Syndrome (CSS) is the first step, the next step is unlearning. CSS thrives in the myths we inherit—about power, identity, and “progress.” It’s not just about seeing the chains; it’s about questioning why we thought they were fine jewelry in the first place.

Colonial Stockholm Syndrome (CSS) isn’t just personal—it’s systemic. It shapes how we see ourselves, our cultures, and even our governments. From language to leadership, CSS is embedded in the very structures we’re told to trust. Recognizing it is the first step to breaking free.

Colonial Stockholm Syndrome (CSS) isn’t just history—it’s the lens we need to understand how colonized minds still cling to their oppressors. From political systems to cultural norms, CSS shapes identities, loyalties, and the myths we’re told to believe. Unpacking it means reclaiming power.

The book I’ve been working on about Colonial Stockholm Syndrome is finally past its peer review stage. Now time for editing. Someone’s gotta write more stuff for @johnleguizamo.bsky.social to read. 🤣

I’ve spent over a year in pain. I’ve been to the ER at different hospitals multiple times. I’ve spoken with multiple doctors in different specialties. Nothing. A few even told me to stop researching what it might be because it was “bad for my health.” 🧵

I’ll never understand how generational immigrants think DEI or Affirmative Action didn’t help their families make a living. You benefited from the very system you’re now trying to dismantle. Hard work alone didn’t break barriers—policy did. Without it, your family’s story would look very different.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

sorry for getting ✨️political✨️ on the good vibes and video games app again, but the human brain is not designed to withstand another 207 weeks of this shit so pace yourself and try to channel that anger, despair, and hopelessness into something productive. make some kick ass art, we will need it
