Plague PoemsI know an old punk
whose pierced nose
remains hidden
behind the N95 mask
he dutifully wears
and when I ask him
if he still wears it
because his aesthetic
has never cared for norms
he replies that he wears it
because nothing is more punk
than giving a shit
about other people.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
I'm still not onto Black history. I'm still on white US history.
Q: Why were Black folk so happy when OJ was acquitted? To be honest, it feels disgusting. Why does it seem like you're happy he got away with murder?
A: Racism. Black folk did not like OJ that much. In fact, many Black people think he did it. Black folk didn't "celebrate OJ." Black folk celebrated the hope that a brutally unjust, evil, and racist system, could be defeated at all.

Let me repeat something for folks that didn't hear it the first time: Black people did not love OJ.
OJ was basically the Kanye West of the 80s. He even hung out with the Kardashians! He was one of those anti-Black, pro-Reagan, Black Republican type celebrities.
This is not about OJ. At all.
It's entirely possible to show empathy for the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, dislike OJ and suspect his guilt, and be against systemic racism, all at the same time.

The Rude PunditAnyone else think, “Jean Jacket?” when you heard about the unidentified object being shot down?
CatbusThe problem with capitalism is how it distorts the natural balance of Fucking Around & Finding Out by creating a class that is allowed nearly infinite fuckery with zero finding out
Robert ReichWhen Republicans are in power, they rack up giant deficits, mainly by cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
Then when Democrats take the reins, Republicans blame them for being big spenders.
It’s always the same story.
@RitchieTorres the only thing he didn’t lie about was being a Republican
