Lux Magazine: “The Feminism We Need”
“We’ve made the #magazine we have always wanted to read: #queer, #abolitionist, #feminist, and #socialist in its DNA. It’s full of pleasure because if we believe in a good life for all, don’t we owe it to ourselves in the here and now? In making this magazine, we’ve also begun creating a #community.”

AMAZING news from the #abolitionist group Midwest Immigration Bond Fund: thanks to recent changes in the 6th circuit—hundreds of people are newly eligible for bond.
“We have gotten over $200k in requests just since Monday from folks held in Kentucky from all over the midwest, and anticipate many more coming. While we are THRILLED to be able to bond people out, we also need your help to ensure we can meet the need as it rolls in.”

The Greek Slave & The Virginian Slave
The Greek Slave was sculpted by American Hiram Powers in 1843. It depicts a Christian Greek woman captured by Turks. Controversial because of it's depiction of a naked woman, it became one of the most famous sculptures of it's time. It was featured at the 1851 Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in London, where it stood on a rotating pedestal under a lavish red canopy. As part of the American pavilion it was the centerpiece of a display that included a tipi, Native Americans, portraits of presidents + objects associated with progress + national identity.
The Virginian Slave, drawn by John Tenniel was an illustration published in the British magazine Punch as a direct counter-image. It showed a shackled Black woman, forcing Americans to confront the realities of slavery in the American South. During his visit to the fair American Abolitionist, author + former slave William Wells Brown placed the image of the Black slave alongside the white statue to emphasize the suffering of enslaved women - An American reality.

Having your van stolen is weird as a #PIC #abolitionist. But it definitely reinforced my belief that we need to build a world without cops.
Spoke to a half dozen of them about this and ALL of them acted like I was a suspect for something. None of their license plate surveillance tech helped them find a van that was being used in the area for 7 weeks. That tech’s not for our benefit.
I’m gonna finish this fiasco by finally reading The Warehouse.
