Anticipatory malicious obediance

From @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social from her July 2024 appearance on On Being: "So mushrooms, I feel like they’re our great detoxer. They’re the ones who understand that nothing needs to be wasted; that everything can be used in some way..." onbeing.org/programs/adr...

@eveewing.bsky.social is the homie and this interview is great. Listen to it here: endoftheworldshow.org

"there’s enough destruction. there’s enough nothingness swallowing the living world. don’t add to it. there’s enough. our visions are ropes through the devastation. look further ahead, like our ancestors did, look further. extend, hold on, pull, evolve.” - @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social

Grover is quoting the inimitable @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social today!

“Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.“

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

It’s so good my cat wanted to eat it! @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social

Something I read today: “Loving Corrections” by adrienne maree brown. #booksky @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social “The good news is that we don’t need to be experts on every region to move with and towards humanity, connection, and solidarity.”

I just added more things to this list today: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

"Healing is the victory" - @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social

was invited to read this by @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social as pre-reading for a restorative justice training. as we consider how we go on, it was a loving reminder to let the way we show up individually be what transforms us in community. “healing is the victory” www.yesmagazine.org/opinion/2022...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

If your employer is caving to the Trumpists, and has announced an end to DEI and accessibility policies, it's past time to organize with your coworkers so that you're able to pressure your employer using a diversity of tactics Leak Slowdown Sabotage Strike Organize

February 12th will be the 125th anniversary of the first public performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” also known as the Black National Anthem. We are facing much of what we faced in 1900. The song speaks volumes about endurance and organizing. Curious about it? bookshop.org/p/books/may-...

Finally reading “We Will Not Cancel Us” by @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social. Necessary reading for all of us today. “I have felt us losing our capacity to distinguish between comrade and opponent, losing our capacity to generate belonging.”

one of my fave pieces based on a quote by @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social from #EmergentStrategies “Life & death are transitions that want to be held gently.” 💕🌱☁️ #artsky #digitalillustration #artistsonbluesky

After lawsuits led a federal judge on Monday to bar agencies from enforcing any remaining elements of Trump's spending freeze, the EPA Tuesday directed agency officials to allow disbursement of funds from at least some programs under the bipartisan infrastructure law and Inflation Reduction Act.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.
