It was wild bc they were honestly too shocked to be rude to him at all at first, they kind of just let him rock with his interrogation until the end when they were more sick of him asking 2887 questions more than anything, they didn’t accuse him of splaining, they just got tired!

A white man who had seen this happen at the end of the show or just noticed them with the setlist in hand approached them and asked about the setlist. They politely and excitedly relayed their experience. He then went to ask the name of the member that they got the setlist from.

PSA: This fall don’t share tired revisionist white feminist narratives about The Salem Witch Trials as the persecution of (white) women’s traditional practices, misogyny etc. They omit the truth of the racist, Christian, white settler context of Salem’s society and the trials

Will maybe write more about it later, but: I’m 100% here for dismantling celebrity activism/organizer bullshit and the capitalist, individualist practice of reducing movements to singular leaders. That said, you need a lot of strong participants for a leaderless movement.

We’re just “cr*zy” and “paranoid” for “still” wearing masks. That would be a very shitty and disingenuous way to paint people if the pandemic was over, but it’s ridiculous and irresponsible to do that when the pandemic is in fact far from over. We still need masks.

Let’s retire “white passing” as a racial ID. I am moving beyond it. It has a space when we talk about histories of BIPOC, SPECIFICALLY Black people, coding and passing for white in spaces where it was dangerous or illegal to, but it isn’t a racial identity. Yr white.

@DoreenGLM Twitter’s been having this take lately and I don’t like it. Men hate women and they seek the approval of men bc they’re horrible misogynists, it isn’t about them secretly being gay. Gay men are also very misogynistic.

Like earlier today I saw this sticker on a car that was of a hand holding a g*n pointing at you and saying “Nothing in here is worth losing your life over” and in my head I was like “???? Then nothing is worth killing someone over!”

The whole time this white dude had no idea what he had done wrong even as people explained how he was crossing lines but realized someone yelling at him “Pick up your damn ticket off the desk and go to the back of the line far the fuck away from us” meant he was in danger lol

I was intentional btw about using the phrase “acts of harm” vs “crime” bc the latter is a construct and something abolitionists should endeavor to also do away with, and I’ll get into that with this anecdote:

After they firmly tell him to leave them alone he buzzes off, looking for new victims to sink his teeth into, and in a few minutes, wouldn’t you know it, it would be me! By this point I could tell dude was autistic and missing cues so I decided a chill but firm approach.

What you can do instead of excusing burning sage as a non-Native esp if yr white 1. Burn other medicines or objects Indigenous to your people, like a cop car 2. Lay down. Be quiet 3. Listen to the Words of An Ancient Proverb that goes “Give the motherfucking Land Back you Shits”

Dear reader, my partner and I spent most of the show in the green room with the openers bc they are our beloved friends, so yes I know their names! I told him as much w/o giving names and that they gave me these records for free. He kept trying to interrogate me regardless.

???? Literally 7 different people including the coat check person were like what the fuck? He had cut, was rudely splaining, didn’t say a word to coat check then slapped down his ticket ON TOP OF OURS in the middle of me telling him to go. At that I cussed his ass the fuck out.

Angela Davis is wrong and that’s OK! It’s a shame, it sucks, but it’s fine. The vision remains and the work continues, with or without her clarity at certain key points!
