Reading about the WTO protests in Seattle sets a few precedents and a lot of lessons we can learn from.
1. Police lose nothing from stirring unrest. In fact, they gain more than they lose. In the case of the WTO, SPD were annoyed with the police chief and mayor doing an anti-police corruption probe in a historically corrupt SPD prior to then so they outright ignored the order from the mayor and the police chief to not engage protesters.
2. The Black Bloc worked in coordination with direct action organizers. Due to groundwork being laid out weeks prior to the meeting, protesters with different tactics and levels of resistance tolerance were able to confer with one another. The Bloc’s specific function was to reinforce and back up non-violent protests when police aggressed the situation. source

Sharing this clip from my time in conversation with my love @fernando.deveras and the homie @socialprimates about what it means to decolonize our, our parenting, and our youth. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. The beef with the white parenting world is a manifestation of my rage around the fact that they lied to me about the fact that these “gentle/attachment parenting” practices were their experts’, and not the truth that they were stolen from my ancestors and replaced in our families with survival strategies to their violence. And now WE’RE the ones who have challenges staying connected with our elders and our children? NAH. #TheCycleStopsConmigo #EndChanclaCulture

YO TE QUIERO LIBRE PALESTINA ❤️🇵🇸✊🏽
I stand with ALL oppressed peoples. I stand with ALL Indigenous people in resistance to colonization. I stand for the LIBERATION of ALL oppressed peoples. I stand forever AGAINST genocide and colonization.
Power to and with my relatives who are marching in protest today. ✊🏽🔥
🗣️ALL CHILDREN ARE OUR CHILDREN‼️
translation:
Give me, give me, give me the mic and sing
Singing is the mother of world languages
It holds our existence and it holds our root to greater Syria, Africa, and Latin America
I’m with Anita Tijoux
I stand with those who suffer not with those who pretend
I’m with culture, resistance
I forgive and forgive and forgive and my bank declared bankruptcy
At knowledge of he day, the situation had to be cured, but then the situation needed to be deterred
If you can free settlements, a lot of hands want to handshake yours, thousand “K”, thousand “R”
The home of weapons needs to be destroyed
Let’s go back to reality
***YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ANNOUNCE YOU ARE UNFOLLOWING OR “DISAPPOINTED”. MORE THAN 600 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN ARE DEAD. THIS IS GENOCIDE. SAVE YOUR 🐊😢***

My dog's really a study in Buddhism. He can see my muffin wrapper and he's miserable. Crying. He needs to eat my muffin wrapper so bad.
I get up and throw it away. He forgets about it immediately and happily goes to sleep.
You are not sad because you do not have a muffin wrapper, my beautiful boy, you are sad because you want the muffin wrapper. source

i see posts here about how people are so mortified when they are acknowledged as being a regular customer somewhere that they never return. cowards. the employees at taco bell treat me like a celebrity. like royalty. i am their strange little pet customer who gets traded along as staff comes and goes. they know my car before i even speak in the drive-thru speaker. today i was 2 hours late and she ran over and squealed that she "thought i'd left them!" and that she "made my order with extra love!" and you what, she did

It's like idk man, I still wash my paint brushes the way my art teacher taught me how a decade ago. I eat tortillas the same way as the ex I haven't seen in years. You can fly to the other side of the world and the shop will play the song your dad played in the car when you were a kid and it still sounds exactly the same. My hair grows funny in one spot because I got a scar on my scalp when I was six.
Sometimes I reach for light switches that aren't there, that have never been there, because I used to live someplace that had a light switch in that spot. And I think maybe life is about repeatedly reaching for light switches that aren't there. In a few years you'll be somewhere else, and you'll reach for the light switches you have now. source
