Out of curiosity, when was the last time massive student protests turned out to be on the wrong side of history, and the state using police violence against them turned out to be right?
every bar spit in this statement is 10+ years in the making & clarifies why action at one ATL university calls students from every campus in the city to action, and the pigs soon follow student mvmnts have long been the backbone & frontline of ATL struggle & it ain’t changing
This statement from Emory University protestors is incredible.

Last night I took a walk and sat on a bench in Reynoldstown to read. In the span of an hour, three separate friends passed me and we had chats. An old man passed me, but stopped to ask what I was reading and chat. This is why I love city living. I went home feeling great.
@R_A_Belcher FYI, I refuse to add a caveat of "I understand this is not a high priority" to every post like this for the sake of people who don't understand what it's like to be dependent on sidewalks & MARTA, and who might be confused about our needs. It's not my job to teach people empathy.

I’m becoming more and more convinced that our society’s obsession with having pets is directly correlated to our obsession with “independence” and lack of accessible community. And it’s hurting us.
We also need more food carts, food trucks, and lower footprint, retail places within neighborhoods, and in our main corridors . Also build around where college students are living, where single people and empty nesters are living. This is my TEDTalk .
B/c so much of the Atlanta experience has been reduced by neighborhood groups to focus on making everything quiet. There are no districts, especially in places that are accessible, safe, and w/n the city limits. Can’t have culture w/o it being next to where people live or work
This subject would make a great article if it already hasn't been written about (cc: @IamKingWilliams)
When Atlanta became the epicenter of hustle and LLC culture a decade ago, it led to an influx of people (mostly transplants) that were obsessed with recreating Black capitalism. Now we’re left with a fuck ton of money hungry vultures that are ruining the city and its culture.
I’m doing a lot more re-reading of the Reconstruction era and Jim Crow era of Georgia history…wanted to juxtapose how Black Atlanta and by extension Black Georgia grew vs how it’s (not) covered

@heflinhollis Sherwood Forest. I still struggle to believe that this slice of suburbia exists in the middle of the city. About as bizarre of a thing as we've got.
I searched my name in a scholarly database recently (because I have no shame) & discovered that several academic papers from literally across the globe cite my blog posts as a source 😲 I don't encourage that, BTW. I'm completely amateur. But it was fun to find out anyway.
