I've been watching so many plant-based and vegan cooking videos from Black people on YouTube and my goodness there's so many gems.
I made this last week and it was also incredible.

I’m a New Yorker half raised in BX so that was the sound of my childhood,
that was life .
A real celebration of a life, a place , of people ,
Of living and loving specific things that make your past
Giving it to your future
how BIG culture can get from loving the smallest things

We're in a fight with bigots who are upset that even though they have a resource advantage, they are still getting outclassed by people with just better ideas and the will to carry them out.
I'm a competitor so I can't lie, I kind of love what's happening in indie social media right now.

Why do I know so many people who've been up against the wall & at the edge of death who never decided that's why they needed to be a bigot? I'm not buying it, white folks!
Hell no I’m not sitting here crying for vulnerable white people preyed on by the far right for radicalization. You expect I have no survival instincts as their target? Go cry with them over Thanksgiving & tell them how much you understand how hard times can force you into bigotry. They’re losers.

Hard same.
White people‘s greatest threat has always been themselves.
The inflict devastating damage on everything and blame everyone else for not cleaning up after them.

One of my guesses is some of those upset are because one of the major successes isn’t a very specific libertarian vision that they envisioned.

When racists and white supremacists hate the air you breath and spend money in an effort to bring about your demise because of the words and ideas you’re putting out there, you know you’re doing The Work.
in Berlin back in September 2025 at the Cypherpunk retreat I told @tessa.germnetwork.com and @markmx.bsky.social ”I got opps in this very room right now” while we were dining
September 2024 I was doxxed by white supremacists.

You know, Black ppl can SEE you reverting back to that overseer behavior you claim none of YOUR ancestors were part of. Your discomfort at not knowing what Black ppl are talking about is your fear of justified retribution for the ongoing violence of anti-Blackness, from which you derive benefits.
