If the killing of children going to school doesn't sway people, or a national history of genocide and slavery doesn't sway people, further state violence won't either. This is a fool's errand and the cursed cycle of depravity will continue until there's nothing left to steal. #historymatters #ISWIS

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Luna Celeste & I have participated in a long term canine study. Yesterday she received her DOGTOR of Philosophy! Both of us wore eye tracking goggles in the last experiment. She now answers to Dr. Luna. All this feels trite as the country falls, but life continues I guess. #lunacelestechronicles
