Ally ( @theoceanisgay ) and I have been running a dear poetry series (Other People's Poems (@ SeattlePoetry)) for almost half a year now! We try to press the importance of artistic community with each reading, reading as connection as neighborhood as love.

The audacity of this comment is to imply that singularly this individual has knowledge of or has consumed all millennial art, and that there is an objective metric of greatness.
just hit me that the millennials haven’t (yet) made great art a lot of hyper-successful brands & commercial products, but no millennial literature, music or film that so far looks like it’ll stand the test of time

Several thousand anti-capitalist and anti-fascist protesters took to the streets in Milan against the Olympics. Clashes erupted with police as demonstrators condemned the presence of the Israeli and US teams — and Trump’s fascistic ICE being brought in alongside them.

Friends— Sameer project is really struggling right now and needs your help. I spoke to one of the co-founders today and they are truly running out of funds. They need you. Please share this far and wide.
🚨🚨🚨GAZA NEEDS YOU 🚨🚨🚨 Donate now: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… Mutual aid groups have seen a HUGE drop in donations in January, and are forced to cut down on aid. Gaza is still experiencing a genocide with 32 Palestinians killed just today (including 6 children) by the military occupation, and the number of people killed since the “ceasefire” surpassed 500. Less than a quarter of the agreed upon number of aid trucks are entering the Gaza Strip and much of it is commercial, meaning that people need MONEY to buy their basic needs. Money that they don’t have as most people don’t have income and lost their livelihood during the genocide. The Sameer Project was forced to reduce water by 50% last week, stopped grocery vouchers for 100 families, reduced hours in our two medical points and is no longer taking individual medical cases. DISASTROUS is an understatement for the situation in Gaza so we beg you to mobilize, fundraise, donate, send emails, share and do everything you can to support our people in Gaza! Donate to the Food & Water Campaign today and share this post with your network: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Water") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Al… (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Water")

Today’s general strike is a direct challenge to ICE’s brutality. We reject a system that terrorizes and dares to call it enforcement. Your courage is inspiring the world. The power is with the people. Solidarity with everyone striking.
