in case yall been sleeping hereâs a reminder that we just shut down Mall Of America, the largest mall in the USA, to protest the wrongful deaths of young black men by police. #blacklivesmatter
Tete Gulley was a 31-year-old Black trans woman in Portland who was found hanging from a tree, dead. The police department ruled her death a suicide, and did not investigate further. Her family found out she had died through Facebook. Officials wonât look into the case further because there is âinsufficient public interestâ, despite numerous people of the homeless community witnesses contradicting that ruling. Someone even allegedly has a video. But due to negligent policing and, apparently, lack of public interest, the family hasnât seen justice, let alone the autopsy.
Weâre the public. Letâs show our interest.
Here is the petition demanding investigation into Tete, as well as accountability for the negligent behavior of the authorities. It also goes into further detail about her story.

so iâm sure by now most of you have seen the news story about the patriots using their team plane to fly ppe into massachusetts from china (or at least if youâre local to new england you probably have).
itâs being shared on the news as a heartwarming story of a football team stepping up for their local area, but itâs also absolutely a sign of how truly and deeply fucked the federal response to this has been.
some background: massachusetts has received somewhere in the neighborhood of 17% of the ppe requested from the federal stockpile, and not one single ventilator. we requested 1000 of those and have now had to up our request to 1400. we have repeatedly been outbid by the federal government and now, most recently, had shipments of ppe that we ordered straight up seized by the feds in new york.
so, in desperation, our governor set up A SECRET DIPLOMATIC BACKCHANNEL to essentially beg china to send us badly needed equipment and make sure the federal government couldnât seize it this time
florida has received multiple shipments of supplies in this same time frame, on time and unmolested by federal authorities. the difference? governor ron desantis is buddy buddy with trump and florida is a big swing state for the election. states that get on trumpâs shit list are having to beg, borrow, and steal so that more people donât die.
this is deeply, incredibly fucked and i donât want anyone to ever forget it.
Welcome to dystopia
also just want to highlight that the us federal government is not only stealing from states trump doesnt like, but also other countries. we are literally seizing necessary PPE from other nations. The ones listed here are France, Germany and Brazil. Also Barbados. Trump has also ordered American companies to not manufacture PPE and ventilators for export to countries in Central America and Canada. (same article as the first, mentioned later down.) The term used by Germany was literally âmodern piracy.âÂ
If after everything weâve seen in our lifetimes hasnât convinced you that the US is a failed settler colonial state that does not deserve to exist, I hope this does. To me, it seems like the purpose of a federal government is to do what smaller units of governance canât do on their own â like buy PPE in bulk and distributing it to states rather than encouraging a bidding war amongst states that are also competing against other nations and driving up the collective price of PPE and ventilators globally. The US canât even get that shit right. And no, I donât think the shamelessness of US capitalism will fundamentally change if Trump is replaced. Regardless of the party in power this country, founded on stolen land, has done nothing but terrorize the majority of the people who live in it, and the majority of people who live outside of it.Â
honestly fuck viruses theyâre not even alive theyâre just strands of punk ass DNA that go around fucking up us normal and god fearing life forms you donât even have a nucleus you stupid bacteriophage looking horizontally transmitting RNA clump

Saw an op-ed that was on the surface a complaint about kids not wanting to take on family heirlooms but read like an elegy to dying traditions. The hardest part was the anxiety without recognizing that they didnât pave the way for the decisions they assumed their kids would make.
(This is written entirely within the dominant white/western culture - about traditions that have neglectful stewardship rather than those actively suppressed)
The anxiety makes sense. Youâre seeing, too late to do anything about it, that thereâs no foundation - no space - for the traditions you expected to pass on. Your kids _canât_ take your momâs fine china. So now instead of enjoying what you have you worry about its future.
I see a pattern in these op-eds though - a pattern in whatâs left unsaid. There were responsibilities tied to these traditions. You collectively assumed they _would_ be passed along. So collectively, what did you do to ensure those traditions _could_ be passed along?
Op-eds never speak for everyone, but itâs worth acknowledging the pattern in what speech is deemed worth sharing widely. Â And in this particular pattern, thereâs an answer: that answer looks like ânothing.â
You want the china passed down but your kids have no room in their rentals. You want grandkids but your kids donât have the financial stability. You want that cross-country RV neverending road trip but youâve had decades of wanting lower taxes more than you wanted infrastructure.
The bleak outlook for traditions is a direct result of the unmaintained foundations for them. The second best time is always now - if itâs important enough to op-ed about, what are you willing to change to get it back? What will you give up or re-prioritize?
I kinda think that world-defining assumptions are always gonna break without maintenance. So rather than getting mad at whoeverâs next for not carrying on the norms we didnât do upkeep on, when itâs my turn, I hope Iâm introspective enough to help instead of externalize & blame.
This.

I follow a Facebook group of âMemories of âŚâ for my hometown - a rustbelt community that has gone from a thriving hub of industry to a much-less-thriving place.
The group is a collective lament.  Decades-old pictures of well-kept churches. Aerial shots of the main intersection downtown, lined with big cars.   Scanned advertisemetns from local stores featuring pictures of their interiors.  These alternate with the drumbeat of news: the Catholic diocese is closing churches. Selling them.  Tearing them down.  STores downtown are closing.  The traffic light has been replaced with a four-way-stop.
âThatâs the church my parents were married in!â âHow could they tear down that beautiful building. Such memories!â âAll the businesses are closing. It must be the taxes.â âTheyâve sold the old lodge downtown.â âTheyâre not opening the skating rink this year. We always used to go.â
And sometimes I chime in.Â
âDo you attend that church? Do you give? Or do you just want the building to look pretty for you? â âDo you volunteer at that park? Why not?â âDid you vote for that recreation bond issue?â âAre you a member of that Lodge? Why not?â âDo you shop downtown?  Or did you start shopping at Walmart and Amazon to save a few bucks?â
If you feel something is worth preserving, why do you not participate in its preservation? Â
Community is not a spectator sport.Â

i went to the met today
i went back
Does op have a brain? Also, do they understand anything about Jackson Pollock?
abstraction for the sake of abstraction misses the entire fundamental purpose of art which is that it Says Something even if you donât mean it to Say Something and all pollocks art says is âi have managed to remove all aspects of personality and substance from the process of paintingâ and 8000 male critics were like OAHAGAGHSB nuts everywhere. anyway purely technique-focused art is fucking boring and anyone in the world could shit out the same thing if they tried for a few hours as opposed to actual good art; when it comes to good abstract art then sure maybe you could replicate the technique easily but the feeling and the message behind it are impossible to duplicate and thatâs what makes it interesting and worthwhile.
anyway stan louise nevelson
Adding on to this the only reason pollocks paintings were ever accepted in the art world was because America was trying to propagandize American individualism by pushing the âWe cherish our avant-garde tortured arteests unlike the FILTHY COMMIESâ as if the manâs shit doesnât look like every painterâs drop cloth. This is also the time where they pushed a lot of graphic type stuff like warhol and basically the entire 60s was the american art worlds âlook at me im not like those other white guysâ phase
Also pollocks art is so technically trash that itâs literally degrading at a rate that cannot be preserved so it effectively is falling off the canvas lol.Â
Iâve studied a lot of art history throughout my life, and while I personally do like Pollockâs stuff, itâs worth noting that he would probably not have risen to the same heights if he were female. Gender inequality in art spaces is as blatant as can be, and for every male âsuperheroâ of art, thereâs a woman who did the same years earlier, or who was (in some cases) copied by the male artist.Â
Take, for example, Yayoi Kusama. Kusama created daring and innovative artworks, making them very personal and speaking freely about her mental illnesses and the domestic abuse she endured as a child, painting from the most honest depths of her heart. She was copied by many male artists, who are now revered as being geniuses. Even, at one stage, the wife of a male artist approached her and said, âIâm sorry, Yayoiâ, because she knew her husband had unashamedly ripped off Kusamaâs vision and hard work.
Andy Warhol copied Yayoi Kusama, and didnât even make an effort to hide it. His Cow Wallpaper piece is a blatant ripoff of Kusamaâs Aggregation: One Thousand Boats Show. Kusama put her heart and soul into her art, working with repeating images and polka dots as a method of calming the hallucinations she suffered on a daily basis.
With reference to the art theft of Claes Oldenberg, this article describes the following:
[Oldenbergâs] actions caused Kusama to become deeply depressed. So discouraged by the lack of recognition she received for innovating a new kind of sculpture, Kusama would often lock herself in her studio without coming out for days.
Question what youâre taught. Question the legacies of white male artists, whoâ in some casesâ have profited off the talent of women of colour, like Kusama. Racism and sexism allowed Kusama to be pushed off to the side while men took credit for her creativity, and that same bigotry is going strong today. The objectification of women as pieces of art goes hand-in-hand with the erasure of the female gaze in art.
THANK YOU!!! this is such a good addition
Canât risk it
The duck of creativity. I waited so long for it.
I mean worth a shot đđđ
you guys are missing the best fucking part
Kind of feel like doing a massive overhaul of this tumblr so I can actually use this as my main blog again, kind of feel like leaving it as a musty relic of my garbage high school self

Guys, look. They finally made a baby stroller for wheelchair-bound mothers. This is so important.
My wife is a physical therapist. Â She started tearing up when I showed this to her.
I love seeing ableist norms broken.

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldnât see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like âuh...hi?â And she said âI made you, do you know that?â And I nodded and she was like âI hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please donât break my heartâ. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Meanâ˘ď¸????
