The folks at @Equatormag are putting out so much essential reading that it's hard to keep up. This dispatch from a sweltering Mumbai is a postcard from all of our futures.
Summer in Mumbai was brutal and endless. The monsoon's poster child was running out of water. In a dispatch for @Equatormag, I wrote about what it's like to live with extreme heat in a broken city and limits to resilience. With🔥 images by @ishantankha. equator.org/articles/city-of…

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

It’s actually really disheartening seeing other latinam (tho US citizens) authors who I respect and know personally be recklessly dismissive of how some of us want to talk about Argentina. As if they too do not come from a nation state that is founded on white supremacy.

we need more magazines period. hopefully the editors and writers involved and other folks take up this mantle as well
I mean in an era where black journalists are being laid off everywhere & black publications barely exist…it’s pretty cool that somebody like J Cole is creating physical media and employing some of those same journalists, creatives, etc. mainstream media isn’t doing it so 🤷🏽‍♂️

Decided to run D’Angelo’s 2012 Philly performance just because. I have returned to it so many times since he passed. The opening number being Motherlode and a shout to Dilla too gives me chills. Just incredible. So sad he’s gone youtu.be/xN3_D3Vl4KQ?si=06pK…

🚨I've seen enough🚨 Claire Valdez has defeated Antonio Reynoso in the Democratic Primary for New York's 7th Congressional District. A commanding victory for Mayor Mamdani and NYC-DSA. The Commie Corridor is cemented.

Just coined the term “clout angel”, the opposite of “clout demon”, which is when you use your clout to bestow material rewards on the people around you and/or when you know how to be normal about the amount of clout your have

The question is “alternative to what?” and most people don’t have an answer.

Not to toot my own horn or anything but I said this two years ago. (truestyle.substack.com/p/mob…)
people have been making a fair point lately: “everyone wants to look alternative without being it.” fashion used to be the business card of identifying yourself, nowadays people dress alternative and still are the very things the genres they like stand against

not difficult to imagine if you consider what *kind* of boats docked there from the 1600s to 1827
It’s crazy to think the tip of Manhattan is the center of finance because it was literally where boats docked.

Yes!! I touch upon it in my piece on the dying middle market. You can’t market yourself on restraint and sustainable consumption when you take VC and PE funding which has the expectation of expansionary growth. xitter.cf/alisha_hg/status/20565…
