my spiciest literary take is that more people should read my writing & check out my poetry chapbook 🙂

okay. so in 1975, the trilateral commission came out with a report in which they concluded the civil unrest of the 60s was due in large part to people being too educated.

the fact that ice agents wear masks while terrorizing people is so interesting to me because they are probably the same people who would start crying, shaking, & throwing up over “impingement of personal freedoms” or whatever the fuck if someone asked them to put on a face mask because of covid.

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

art+feminism says they’re building spaces where equity & feminist voices can thrive but they fired a black woman in retaliation for trying to unionize.
