Hiiii I’m here with the Feel the News after dark episode 2. I got high and talked about living in a slaveocracy because work was brutal this day.
Much of what I say is heavily influenced by Saidiya Hartman’s Scenes of Subjection, Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin, Anarchism and the Black Revolution, Martin Sostre (https://offshootjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Open-Road-Interview-Final.pdf), and Bell Hooks probably.
Let me know your thoughts and feelings. It’s always nice to hear from you!

P.S. I think I’m going to start writing again soon.

Feel the News After Dark Episode 1
Hiiiii! I’m back! I’ll start writing about my feelings of existence shortly. In the meantime I’m following my dreams of being a high newscaster with lots of opinions. This is the first episode of Feel the News After Dark, a late night comedy news show that happens at night after I work out and get high. I’ve given up on sobriety for now because I need my weed to survive being a person like the cookie monster needs cookies. That is to say I can do without but I’d much rather not. So here are my thoughts on the USPS running out of money, Netanyahu continuing his genocidal ways, and phone books.
Let me know your thoughts and feelings. It’s always nice to hear from you!
