While some of us are cozy enuf that the segregationist fascism and white supremacist terrorism (let’s call it what it is) of the Trump regime will not touch us directly (or immediately), many more across colorlines and communities will face intimate, everyday violences in the workplace, in housing, in healthcare, in classrooms, on the streets, and in safe spaces.

❌ Using incarcerated laborers to work farms and fire disasters comes from the same conviction leasing and legal slavery systems that followed the Civil War.

❌ The discriminatory policies against our trans kinfolks and queer relatives is rooted in the same legislation that policed and persecuted Black folks in the 50s and 60s.

❌ The politics of school vouchers and book bans are crafting covert ways to re-segregate our education systems (and feeding school-to-prison pipelines).

❌ Targeting student-activists, administrators, and educators on college campuses reinforces academic imperialism and state-funded censorship via learning.

As the oceans rise and the fires rage, we MUST recover, restore, and reimagine the teachings and traditions of our elders and ancestors who left their recipes and writings. The Harriets, Zoras, Marys, Corettas, Octavias, Tonis, Angelas, and many foremothers (and siblings) before us didn’t just learn their lessons in classrooms, but on porches, in kitchens, in gardens, and workshops where they nurtured their wisdoms, knowledge, and knowings through community and solidarity. Their memories captured and collected across books and stories allow us to manifest marches and movements that transform our mothers’ gardens into oceans, divine and deep.

From antislavery to antiracism, we must return to our underground gardens and growing spaces to bring forth the same abolitionist ideals and collective actions that birthed our long (and continuing) civil rights movement.

HIYA.

So a lot has gone on in the last little bit. NASA recently was ordered to scrub their site of women's contributions to astronomy and astrophysics, even took down their page celebrating women's history month and all the contributions they've made to NASA. So I did a thing and crawled through the wayback machine to find some articles, and decided to put this right here because fuck the government, fuck the orange in charge who told them to scrub their site, and fuck NASA for throwing their people under the bus and bowing to this authoritarian nonsense. This version of the site still has articles on some important figures like Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a space shuttle, and ISS chief scientist Jennifer Buchli and chief deputy scientist Meghan Everett, who, in their words, "-provide the science strategy and make science recommendations for the International Space Station program, and help make sure all of the science on the International Space Station goes smoothly, from preparing for launch to conducting research on the space station with the scientists and astronauts and returning the science to Earth."

I go to school board & city council meetings regarding trans rights, and something I noticed is that almost every single transfem student who has gone up to defend their right to use the women's lockers & bathrooms has reported being sexually assaulted in school, often multiple times, by cis men & boys.

And yet, what is taken more seriously is the single cisgender girl who went up to speak about her discomfort with trans girls in the lockers & bathrooms. Not danger. Not harm. Not trauma. Discomfort.

The cisgender girl spoke about how she was not comfortable, wheras the transgender girls spoke of how they were not safe. I am somehow supposed to believe these are of equal severity? Eat a fucking brick.
