I wonāt forget the heartless cowards who remain silent & unbroken as Israel commits genocide. I pray that youāre just speaking in other spaces, but many of you hide behind the comforts of empire and flake on doing the bare minimum. You are responsible for this. We all are.

Being rampantly misogynist and anti-communist undercuts your movieās ābombs are badā message actually! I already knew USiansā knowledge of pacific history was abysmal but Iām astounded at how many people cannot analyze beyond plot :)

a quick read to bring in the weekend: @RebeccaHogue and I wrote about how the āatomic ageā was full of actual barbenheimers and why nolanās film is formally and aesthetically gross!

Aanchal Saraf & Rebecca Hogue: āBarbenheimer has crucial predecessors, cultural moments that combined sex and nuclear weapons to convince the world that we should ālearn to stop worrying and love the bomb.āāĀ cnn.com/2023/08/11/opinions/ā¦

"Jordan Neely was arrested 40 times"
Being homeless is illegal in the US. Loitering, pan handling, trespassing, open containers in public, public urination, dozens of other crimes are used as an excuse to arrest ppl who don't have a place to live and public facilities to use.

ALT Cover of the latest Catalyst issue (Vol 9, no. 1). In the image there are lounge chairs which face a mine, as if it were the beach or a swimming pool. Clouds of dust and dirt rise from the surface of the mine, creating clouds of coal amongst the clouds of vapor. But the dust is too heavy to stay in the clouds and comes showering down on the imagined lounging viewers.

.@jillj_tan & @gracehzhou led a reading & workshop group that allowed us to think ethnographically w/ poets (makers, in the broadest sense) & one of our many made things was this series, in which I am grateful to be able to include this short meditation on weaving and/as poetics

"The baskets are strung up, heavy with nuclear colonialismās inheritances, its rhythms, its ecological toll."
