the @chicagoreader.com's august print issue is out this week and it's all about surveillance 📹 i often write about ai and drones and alprs. but the stories in this issue focus on the quieter, more subversive ways people in power have built a society for fascism to thrive. more in my staff note:

not to be a cunt but while we’re literally in a gig shortage and most opportunities are few and far between for non-house queens and we are popping out new performers every day, you have to take time out to support shows. And yes, even if they don’t have some ex/soon-to-be-tv girl.

need my fellow latinx people to do fucking better. it costs nothing to be a decent and respectable person, ESPECIALLY to black people and other people of color.
