during an early Floyd-Taylor protest, a group of (white) women who were ostensibly part of the march started cooperating with cops to shift people from street to sidewalk. an exasperated man shouted “you can’t stop racism if you won’t even stop traffic!” i think about him a lot
Madness. This just makes working and poor peoples’ lives harder, exploiting rather than addressing the state’s inability to provide order in public space—which is the root of this tragedy in the first place.

if the working poor’s lives are so precarious they can be threatened by a momentary disruption of transit, is that not in itself an indictment of our class system, in which these working poor are also more likely to join the ranks of the unhoused than to become a monied pundit?

if you move through life this fixated on superficial signifiers you will only make yourself miserable and ruin people’s capacity to surprise you
Sometimes you come across a group of Millennials who are still living fully in the Master of None/Warby Parker era. With their natural wines. These people must be treated gently, like the Japanese soldiers who didn't know World War 2 was over.

kinda wild to me that film twitter is already circling the wagons on this… god forbid we even discuss the politics of a beloved filmmaker and, i don't know, attempt to take her art—in all its complexity—seriously…?
as news of a Chantal Akerman boxset start to fill my timeline amidst this ongoing genocide it seems necessary to bring this question of her zionism back up to a film world that i am certain will leave it fully & shamefully unaddressed in their new rounds of praise.

i don’t care whether or not my cats love me—they bring me joy, that’s enough—but if a creature follows you around, meows for your presence, nuzzles as close to you as possible, hides behind you when it feels unsafe, and that isn’t love… then what’s love to you?
your dog and cat do not "love" you. they are animals who are food and comfort-motivated and/or have been bred to be affectionate. they are not capable of human emotion. nor should you expect them to be ♥️

something i learned by reading primary documents from civil war–era america is that oppressed peoples almost always free themselves. lincoln was pressed to release the emancipation proclamation by frantic letters from his generals who were being followed and aided by
and in the end it was Palestinians who restored internet access to Gaza, and it was Palestinians who broke into a UN warehouse to distribute survival supplies, and when Palestine is free at last, while world leaders supported their slaughter, it will be Palestinians who freed it
