I have a hard time interacting w/ ppl who aren’t open to critical thought + questioning but such is a necessity. Little pushes that are done in not so condescending ways 🙄 are a need. My patience too thin for alldat tho. I know my truth. Still i persist
Not chasing the ONE DRINK i had last night with a glass of water was a terrible idea, said my body to me

Love when i catch up w/ friends i haven’t seen in a while and it’s like no time was lost
Again I have to ask if all that’s happening isn’t radicalizing you, then what are you doing??
Do want us to be really thoughtful about the longterm benefits of big sports activations—there are next to none.

if you understood how heavily discriminated against people with official autism diagnosis are you’d understand why many people avoid getting diagnosed officially and having it added to their records

Starting my garden and being invited into networks of gardeners to cross pollinate with has been transformative and I feel firsthand the significance of the practice to the diaspora & my personal health. But sure some white NY guy said urban agriculture is just a hobby

if you understood how heavily discriminated against people with official autism diagnosis are you’d understand why many people avoid getting diagnosed officially and having it added to their records
It’s especially strategic in cities like Detroit where many black families have lost land. Repurposing vacant land into agricultural space actually helps get buy-in from a neighborhood to seek more projects/engagement even if the climate impacts are minimal.
Urban agriculture provides black folk opportunities to express more agency in food sustainability/land acquisition but also can help foster community land trusts, neighborhood hubs, & event spaces. Detroit’s farming community has done wonders for example.
Urban agriculture is one of the dumbest ideas in existence but beloved by the activist class for its aesthetics as an upper middle class/bourgeois hobby. They want to imagine their gardening hobby is somehow valuable and important to save the world.
