I spent 3 years working on a pretty big project. Took a lot of photos along the way. Felt like sharing a small part of my journey so I asked my man @jeauxsef_ to help me edit a few pics. Really proud of the results. Hope y'all enjoy.

Had a Gen Z coworker make a joke that she girl-bossed too close to the sun. Me, and coworker my age laughed. She goes, "oh you've seen that tiktok?". We were like. "No we just understand that reference from Greek mythology.". Got a blank stare in response 😭.

Yanno what's interesting? When fully vaccinated people get Covid or die from it, I take that as proof of how serious the virus is, other folks take it as proof they should just trust their immune system alone. I still don't quite understand that disconnect.

@Listen2TheBeatt The suddenness isn't what makes it annoying. It's that they took this long to do easy things, and are only doing them to keep from doing the hard things. Like policy change.

Gentrification isn't about changing or improving neighborhoods, it's about who has the power to make those changes and what informs their choices. It's a product of capital-driven, as opposed to human-driven, land use policy, and shouldn't be divorced from that context.
My hottest urbanism take:. Gentrification being made out to be a bad thing is a travesty and makes literally no sense.

People like Candace Owens and Dr Umar use being "right" about certain topics to drive up their engagement and get you to be familiar with them. Familiarity breeds trust. The objective is to lower your guard and establish themselves as someone worth listening to.

Degrees don’t stop doctors and nurses from ignoring black people’s health concerns. They don’t stop teachers from calling the cops on their kids. They won’t stop cops from killing black people. You can’t class away racism.
An idea:. Police officers should need a four-year degree in criminal justice. There should be mandatory courses in deescalation, mental health, coping, etc. This isn't only for public safety, it's to help the officers. It's also to weed out kids who are mad and want authority.

Ultimately, choosing between lesser and greater evils all the time just makes you numb to how people are affected by that evil. You spend so much time justifying evil that you stop thinking about what you actually want, and start thinking about whose suffering is acceptable.

If we're being honest, the whole idea of certain people being uniquely protected by God at the expense of others is baseline for a lot of theology.

Geopolitics isn't a story about good guys and bad guys, it's a story about power and the suffering of people caught between it. Ultimately I'd prefer to see power itself dismantled than to favor one power over another.

People think gentrification is just when the white people move in and no. It's when the city doesn't clean the streets and sidewalks in black neighborhoods. It's the systematic devaluation of black/brown neighborhoods in order to facilitate "redevelopment".

Perhaps in order for the world to change and become a better place it requires some discomfort on our part. Perhaps, many Americans have to learn to fight for it again. Perhaps fighting for it, should be more than filling out a bubble on a form once every four years.
