disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

hi if u r into meditations on the mundane and the liminal and whatnot, i’ve written some on my substack :)

1. under gentle, swaying trees ephemeral

2. notes on jasmine, desire as a bodily event

3. on quiet, shared attention, lingering between arrivals

4. tenderness in the hands, a carrying

lament to the sturgeon left.

ancient creatures beneath the water,

swim, quietly, like the deities that they ignorantly search for.

unknowing to the fact that you’ve been there all along,

prehistory written in your very cartilage and skin.

there are so few of you now,

for as a deity, you are killed by mortals,

as a thing of beauty, you are hunted for your resources.

we humans, selfishly acting like we own your spirits, your skin;

the meat in your bodies, the very roe in your ovaries.

and now, you are a dying race.

the history and years you represent, lost and quickly fading.

so swim, spirits, ancient deities,

swim and lie in wait for the cut of the knife and the farmer’s cruel hands.

you are too pure for this earth, to ethereal for these lands,

and we never deserved you.

i’m sorry.

when you ask a knowledge keeper something and they say "good question"

[tepkunset]

No it's actually just that this post was specifically about me learning from older Native people whose role in the community is often referred to as a knowledge keeper in English, for their extensive cultural wisdom and knowledge. I'm okay with other people relating to the concept as well but please refrain from making fun of how we cherish those who are a core part in resisting genocide.

ICE agents forced to flee Minnesota neighborhood due to car alarm alert system

Frustrated Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers fled a Minnesota neighborhood after residents alerted each other by triggering car a

Basically, people are using their key fobs to set off their car alarms when they see ICE.

This is effective for several reasons:

Obviously, it alerts everyone that something is wrong. Given ICE has been terrorizing Minnesota, people are likely to immediately know it is ICE. This gives people time to flee or barricade themselves in their homes.

ICE loses the element of surprise.

If one person hears a car alarm go off, they can trigger their own alarm, alerting even more people, but also making it really annoying for ICE. Annoying sounds petty, but it can be effective. Have you ever been in a building when a super loud fire alarm went off? It's very hard to concentrate. You can't hear much else. You just want to leave. ICE experiences this when a whole street if car alarms go off. Which means they make mistakes.

This was how we were alerted to ICE attempting to gain access to our apartment building. This 100% works.

stop spreading despair and nihilism

stop buying into the idea that nonviolent activism is useless, rather than (by far) the most effective form of protest

stop falsely claiming that BLM accomplished nothing and that most citizens “don’t care” when people are murdered by the state

start understanding that most of your neighbors care about your rights, and their own

start noticing that most people are moved by injustice, including against people who look nothing like them
