    As says, "hope is a discipline." So too is where we place our hope. Elections won't bring us closer to the world we're fighting for, so long as the US is an empire run by capitalism & exists on stolen land. Sharing a discipline of hope I practice to stay grounded:

    Um big institutions have hella $ & drop major funds for racist white men all the time. Before I had an agent once I asked to be paid the same as the highest paid white speaker they funded when they said my rate was too high. They then paid me more than my asking rate 💅🏼

    tips where to look for advice for when big institutions ask "what's your fee" & u know whatever u say u will be playing yourself bc u have no idea what they can afford & yet its probably way beyond what u feel is ethical to ask for.. legitimately is there advice on this anywhere?

    The abolitionists of the 1800s lost a big audience when they said the institution of chattel slavery couldn't be redeemed. Slave owners--many rich and powerful--felt alienated by the statement. It was polarizing. In fact, it led to war.

    👉🏿 Chicagoans pay more to the victims of cop violence than the residents of any U.S. city per capita. In 2018, the last yr for which there are records, the city spent abt $100M on claims, & tens of millions more in legal fees to the lawyers 👇🏿

    The purpose of sacred architecture is not merely to pull your eyes towards the Heavens It's to remind you that Here & Now on this illuminated earth there is already a bit of Heaven for those who have made God a reality "on earth as it is in Heaven" [Shaykh Lotfollah in ]

    The sheer amount of violence cops commit & the money we spend on them is mindblowing. Cops harass, arrest, beat, & sexually assault people regularly. We pay them to do it & protect their violence in courts. Here is some coverage from this week. This is just what made the news.

    the caucasity

    Here's the deal: Because President Trump refuses to concede and is delaying the transition, we have to fund it ourselves and need your help. If you're able, chip in to help fund the Biden-Harris transition.

    Politicians are such a bunch of grifters. People are dying, can’t afford housing or food, and they’re asking us to donate so the ruling class can transfer power between each other?

    the people going "stop saying defund the police" are a demonstration of how liberals imagine themselves the managers of the various fights against oppression, when they're very often just in the way.

    hey you didn't even ask your users if they consented to be tracked, and the geolocation is not actually anonymous. Your users' information was available to ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, the IRS, the Secret Service and the U.S. military.

    Screenshot of the Vice article that says, "X-Mode clarified in an email to Motherboard that its partner apps are contractually obligated to follow relevant data protection laws and obtain consent, rather than there being a technical mechanism in place that stops collection without informed consent."
    Screenshot of the Vice article that says, "The Locate X data itself is anonymized, but the source said "we could absolutely deanonymize a person." Babel Street employees would "play with it, to be honest," the former employee added."

    I would say anything Yeezy but I suppose that doesn’t *feel* like fashion either 🤷🏽‍♀️ Let’s go with sweatshops.

    What ISN'T fashion but FEELS like fashion?
