Qasim Rashid, Esq.On Dec 2, 1859, Abolitionist John Brown was the first American ever executed for treason. The second ever executed for treason was Aaron Dwight Stevens (March 15, 1831 – March 16, 1860).
Their crimes? Attempting to free the enslaved. The first Americans executed for treason was for the crime of freeing the enslaved.
Legality is not always a measure of justice & morality, but a measure of power. This was only two life spans ago.
May we learn from these atrocities & uphold justice forever.
Anthony RappI have to admit, it’s pretty wild seeing such momentous events compressed into a timeline. There was such a clear cut *before* and *after* as my life was utterly transformed by being in RENT all those years ago. I celebrate & explore all of that (& more) in my show #WithoutYou
Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧Handy glossary:
When white people complain about “critical race theory” or “wokeness,” they’re nostalgic for the days when they could be openly racist with no consequences.
When cis people whine about “gender ideology” or "social contagion," they’re mad that trans people exist.
Maria Popova“Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.”

The most brutal but effective criticism I ever received was a terse “No.” in the margin. This calls for something stronger, I think.
And I guess that’s a pretty good sketch of what I love. Plus #theater and #playwriting and #foraging. And all things #queer. And #AntiRacist and equitable educational practices and #schoolcounseling and- You get the idea.
Finding my way here reminds me how my interests connect and how online spaces can feel like home… search an author (probably #scifi and/or #lgbtq+) and follow them (plus all the other ones they are related to that I love), and one of those authors also loves #space so let’s connect to the astronauts and scientists and oh yeah the botany people, and one of them loves #knitting and #art and off we go, and now we’ve wandered into the #anticapitalist territory and now it’s feeling familiar again.
