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.

PJO Trauma Candy Salad Part 2!

Part 1

Piper McLean is both an agent of chaos and a woman of the people. After the success of the seven’s trauma candy salad video, she begs (and bribes) a few of the others to join in. The video goes viral, and they end up as a trending topic for 3 days.

Reyna: Hello, my name is Reyna, and I got kidnapped by pirates after Percy Jackson destroyed my home…I brought peach rings.

Will: Hi, I’m Will, and my dad and I are the same age. I’m putting in fruit gummies.

Rachel: Hey everyone, I’m Rachel, and the first time I met Percy, he tried to stab me with a sword. I’m adding nerds gummy clusters.

Percy: My name is Per-

Piper (behind the camera): Percy, you already went last time.

Annabeth (also behind camera): Just let him do it; he needs this.

Percy: My name is Percy Jackson, and I was kidnapped by my aunt and assumed dead for six months. I brought shark gummies!

Clarisse: What’s up, I’m Clarisse, and I was one of four survivors of a boat explosion in the Bermuda Triangle. I brought some warheads extremes.

Magnus: Hey, I’m Magnus, and after my mom was murdered by wolves in front of me, I spent two years living on the streets. I’m adding sour patch kids.

Nico: Nico just stares directly into the camera for a few seconds while pouring in black chocolate rocks. "I know what hell actually looks like."

The Polk County Sheriff's Office deliberately misled people into believing that Briana Boston had been released without charges. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

guys let’s not put anyone in meat grinders :3

(read the above post. this is a joke and i agree with beaft entirely 😭)

this website is so funny because every couple years we repeat the discourse of "which marginalised group is it morally okay for us to shit on?" and somehow nobody ever learns from it. we just look back and go, "hey, remember that time when everyone was joking about how ace people should all be put in meat grinders? that was so messed up. we should not have done that. anyway, here's my topical joke about how polyamorous people should all be put in meat grinders."
