not "I hate it here" as in "I want to leave" but "I hate it here" as in "this is a list of the 50 counties in the whole united states with the lowest life expectancy and Kentucky is 14 of them"

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

We are often asked if multiple ink colors can be used on a single impression. In this video, Jared letterpress prints a phrase about museums showing that 6 ink colors is possible. The phrase “Museums are not neutral” was printed with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple ink using our Washington hand press. The wood type used is 15 line pica in size and the typeface is French Clarendon.

Our museum, like all museums, is not neutral. People often argue that museums should be neutral or that museums can’t be “political.” However, museums actually are cultural institutions that originate from colonial acquisition and they are about power. History is often written by the victors. It is important for museums to focus on multiple sources and perspectives, especially historically underrepresented groups. Promoting diversity is important to understanding a more holistic history of events.

the way people act like covid isnt real or around anymore even though it continues to kill thousands per year is ultimately a structural issue that wouldve been solved via proper public education and less capitalism bullshit and what not but it’s so difficult to not feel like ur imploding with rage when people act like ‘theres a weird sickness going around?’ or clearly be experiencing symptoms of long covid but pretending they aren’t. how r u supposed to cope with the cognitive dissonance of hearing ‘after the pandemic’ on a daily basis when we are still in one. how am i not supposed have a fucked up sleep schedule or not feel the need to rip my hair out. Idk! Idk! Wear a mask! Fuck!

You were Lestat's, now you're Armand's. I've been a third all my life. Not saying that to fight, just saying that it's true. I feel like I get to pick one thing for myself, and it's her. A weird white lady I met by happenstance.

"Dear Mr. Molloy. I hope this letter finds you safe and thriving, if such a thing were a possibility in this bleak hour. I've been following your career with some interest since our last meeting. Please allow me to congratulate you on all your successes, those professional and those personally redemptive. The passage of time and the frailties that accompany it have provided me perspective. And I suspect the same might be for you, as well. I'm hoping health and pride won't deter you from the following proposal. In a week's time, in a setting of my choosing, we revisit the project boyish youth prevented us from finishing. 49 years and thousands of miles removed from the room we shared in San Francisco, I offer, for your journalistic pleasures, my full attention and my life story. All affinities, Louis de Pointe du Lac."

A year ago I got an anonymous message telling me that everything I post has already been foretold in a medium-sized book that they found in an eagle's nest in 2008. Now every time I publish a post they tell me where in the book it was foretold. Like they send a message just saying (for example) "page 85 line 10". The book isn't in order, so it's become sort of a personal hobby for them to find each day's post, and eventually cross out all the posts in the book, kind of like a birdwatcher's checklist. Once I asked them why they don't just send me the book so i know what posts to make and they responded:

three reasons. 1, the book is very wormeaten. theres still enough left to match up ur posts to the posts in the book (tho sometimes it takes MUCH scrutiny!) but not nearly enough that u could write the exact post just from seeing the remaining text. 2, dont u enjoy coming up with posts? it seems like a lot less fun for u to just copy them out of a book. 3, some of the posts contain information about ur future that u definitely wouldnt want to know yet. u couldnt handle it.
