No serious person familiar with the empirical evidence thinks police and prisons come close to investments in early childhood education, health care, inequality reduction, housing, and other investments that increase social connection and flourishing in promoting public safety.

Please support the loved ones of Hansoo Kim, our neighbor, who was shot and killed at his restaurant Rainier Teriyaki this weekend. Let’s wrap his family in love & resources and let’s double down on the work to end gun violence especially in the South End

Gratitude to @JCrossover and @thecrawsover, The folks at the Drew, and @KingdomSLeague. Photos by Maddie McGarvey and Meron Menghistab, thankfully, because every photo I took over the months was very bad.

When I see a fab image, it’s never “I want to make images exactly like this”; it’s more like “I’m glad images like this exist in the world along with many others” - because art reaches one of its highest points when there are many voices, visions, and styles included. – at South Carolina, USA

“Policing is an inherently inadequate response to these things. By the time the shooting starts, the police intervention is going to be reactive. People will already be dead.” theintercept.com/2022/05/25/…

Black folks: stop posting so much on these sites. Talk privately with each other. Hold space, Plot. Rest. Together. Off line. Document it in your heart. For your private archives.
