Everyone should read @sugi.bsky.social’s phenomenal novel, Brotherless Night! It follows the main character, Sashi, as she goes through the training of and becoming a doctor during the civil war in Sri Lanka in the 1980s. The book asks, who fights for liberation, and who is left behind in the fight?

I don’t feel bad that National Guard are sleeping on the floor with no access to bathrooms.
we have testimony from children who were detained by ICE that they had to sleep on concrete floors, didn’t have access to bathrooms and were fed crackers for meals.

Being an immigrant in the US, especially those of us who fled state violence back home, is like being a fresh kind of hell right now. To lose your home, safety, and potentially life over and over again.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I think it’s hard for me to remember to celebrate. I feel like when it comes to pride I get very protective and angry and it’s hard to find queer joy. I’m not sure how to remedy that.

question 5: Pride is as much a protest as it is a celebration. What is one way you balance both, or how would you like to?
