"Drake soars with a simultaneously frenetic and restrained energy, demonstrating a polished skill that does nothing to dull her electric delivery. It’s a noteworthy achievement." ~Publishers Weekly, starred review ★ ugapress.org/9780820367309/…

book of the moment has GOT to be "whereas" by layli long soldier because presidents apologizing for genocide while perpetuating genocide is not new
unfortunately representation in animation does actually really matter (my inner child heals at lightning speed a little more)
Rebuke/ /Spell poets.org/poem/rebuke-sp… just read this poem again such power, musicality, urgency and directness (explosiveness reminds me of 50s jazz) brilliant @KinsaleDrake
took me my entire 20s to realize i had no reason to feel that much imposter syndrome when so many people in leadership are straight up dumb

Hey so this is a concentration camp
I don’t think anyone realizes how impressive Alligator Alcatraz is. The State of Florida built this 3,000 bed federal prison in eight days. The director tells me it could have been done in 72 hours were it not for some regulatory hold-ups. Now all the state needs is DOJ approval…
content of apology aside — please recognize the power of our movement that got Mamdani elected & that protects him & forced Gillibrand to apologize. It’s time to build on that power, in New York & beyond. If ever we’re going to leave this dark pit we have to build on our momentum

This is so grim, man. You cannot treat people this way
Transgender swimming champion Lia Thomas will have her records and titles stripped after UPenn was pressured by the Trump administration. The university will also issue formal apologies to every biological female competitor who lost out to a transgender competitor.
