[credit avatar image - I’m a Rainbow Too, by Jeffrey Gibson]
Stretched out, I turned to face her bed. I realized that she’d had her eyes on me fo rthis entire time. The dimmed lights case an amber gloa over her body. Through a cascade of dust. The particles almost looked like sentient beings. The countless dead, gathering around us for a lusty tale.”

Profile change overdue. Here is I am a Rainbow Too by Jeffrey Gibson. This whole series is incredible. Highly recommend checking out his work; it is fun to decipher the lyrics in his work.

@yairwalllach.bsky.social blocked me for commenting on an article he felt was unfair to a fundraiser sponsored by New Israel Fund. I am not mentioning this to complain or criticize him, but to highlight something important about the genocide and its psychological impact: 🧵

With enough repetition, anything can become a religion. It doesn’t matter if it works or not, it simply matters that a person returns.

How will the genocidaires and apartheid enthusiasts be remembered? is a question many in my community are wondering. It is another way of saying, Will the victims of this genocide be forgotten since “never forget” is the perpetrator’s brand, so to speak.

Rarely read books like this, but "Tell Me Who You” was hilarious and surprising. A psychological #thriller by Louisa Luna.

A hallmark of liberal hysteria is hiding behind distorted historical analogies when confronted w the material realities that make up the carceral system in the US. Biden deported more people than Trump did in his first term. @tonygoldmark.bsky.social
