Black Anarchic Afrofuturist Technoshaman Luddite of Cosmic Wizardry. I just wanna make the world a more magical place by building better futures, destroying hierarchies, and designing technologies that empower every day people. Simple.

Finishing a round of something that's becoming a summertime tradition for me: a listen through of the Great Cities series! Not only are these amazing books, but the audios are some of the best audio plays out there. @nkjemisin.bsky.social is there a chance that there will be a third one soon?

Solarpunk IRL is so fckn dope. 🛖 Superadobe structures 🌽 Milpa farming systems ❤️‍🩹 Land healing 🪏 Communal gardening parties 🪵 Hugelkultur ⚒️ Tool libraries 💧 Water catchment systems And so much more This sht is real

Ive been messing around with the idea of treating my productivity/life planning as an Ecosystem rather than something more strict. Embracing my inner chaos. I got around 30 different projects (activities) going rn. Sounds insane. It is. But it's quite fun, scary, and incredibly interesting.

There's a direct link between spanking children and fascism that runs straight through trauma bonding. This is why so many people can't imagine questioning authority, even when authority is actively harming them. 1/9

Met some great creators today. It was very exciting and refreshing! Hearing their issues with the algorithm and other platform problems reinforced my desire to build alternatives. Not at all easy, but everything exists because they took down or came after behemoths people thought were unassailable.

Apologies yall, been starting off slow this year... at least in terms of publishing my work. I just been in the lab. Here's what to expect: - Building Better Futures series - Solarpunk short story - Podcast with my brother - Audiojournals & maybe videos/blogs - Land healing notes

May as well finish this list for 2025! I usually review the last year and plan for the next, but I think I'm also going to add this documentation as a tradition too... I encourage others to do the same! Both to document your own journey, as well as to be a curator for the rest of us.

I need to give myself more credit. I keep saying that I don't read enough. That I don't do enough. That I'm stuck and not making enough progress towards my dreams. That I'm not enough. But I am. So I'm going to use this space to pat myself on the back a little bit to remind me of that...
