The pot is obviously a tremendous piece of history, illustrating the class of highly skilled artisan slaves who existed but often get forgotten in the field slave/ house slave narrative that gets pushed. For real there's sooooo much to learn from this pot, I'm glad that it gets some kind of public visibility while the family gets control of it.

what matters is that they are given the CHOICE. they have the final say in what happens to these objects, regardless of whether they stay in the museum or leave it

Dave the Potter also has a Wikipedia page, which is where I learned that he was also disabled as he had a leg amputated at some point for unknown reasons. This is just really, really incredible history and I hope a lot more people learn about this.

And framing your ex for a crime mid-divorce while they are actively in space is some Agatha Christie level shit

The people who came here illegally, the mother without a green card, the father who waits in front of gas stations or Home Depot in order to find work because no where else will hire him, they don’t deserve to be killed either. They also deserve to go home to their families and have dinner at the end of the day.

To say that “narco-terrorism” is a myth is not to deny the obvious violence associated with the black market drug trade, but to acknowledge that the term does more to confuse than to clarify. The idea does not accurately explain the complex dynamics of the global drug trade; instead, it radically oversimplifies the problem. By portraying military intervention as a response to drug trafficking, the “narco-terrorism” myth allows politicians to ignore all of the ways in which military intervention is a cause of drug trafficking... Perhaps the greatest flaw of “narco-terrorism” is that it encourages us to believe that complex human problems have simple military solutions. Sociologist C. Wright Mills once astutely criticized US elites for accepting a “military definition of reality,” a distorted perspective which prevents them from imagining policy solutions that do not involve military intervention. So long as the government insists upon seeing non-military problems through a military lens, they will never be solved.

The term “Cartel of the Suns” originated as a colloquial term used by Venezuelans to mock the military officials who maintained close ties with drug traffickers within the country’s corrupt power system (Venezuelan generals wear symbols of the sun on their uniform). It has no territory, no leadership, no structure or coherence at all; it is a reference to a systematic national problem. The concept of a “crooked cop” does not suggest that there’s a Crooked Cop Incorporated office building we can go after, but that’s what they’re doing by designating “Cartel de los Soles” as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

We're not helpless, and they're going to fucking lose.

The desire for convenience is a morally neutral thing (no matter how many capitalists want their workers to see unproductivity or aversion to the "grind" as a moral failing). Companies that sell you only convenience by making it worse for yourself and for others are not.

Most people aren't gonna talk or build relationships with folks in that restaurant. They're gonna eat and leave, and that's less "community building" than someone who ordered take-out so they can stay home to participate in an online book club or zoom their loved ones in another country. Do not romanticize past toils and lack of accessibility. Convenience and accessibility leads to people having more time to connect with each other, not less.
