try to write about mental health from outside the imperial I:
talk to vega about right 2 write;
give her a meal swipe;
sit and eat with her and gigi;
sit and eat with her alone;
be very afraid of doing something stupid;
be very afraid of seeming too invested;
be very afraid of seeming not invested enough;
remind yourself that fear is good and useful;
remind yourself that community takes work;
remind yourself that this is normal;
take deep breaths, try to write about it, and steal form from your
writer friends.
your writer friends would be proud.
"drink three gallons of milk in a small amount of time." an order.
remember you have a presentation today. remember
you were here to do homework. remember
you can't just say that thing that makes you sad even if it
sounds kind of poetic every time you feel the productivity urge.
antithetical to the ethos.
what does it mean for something to be poetic,

magpie. no categories this time just found lines?
"Much love to my brothers in the pen/See ya when I free ya, if not, when they shove me in"
"As long as I stay Black I gotta stay strapped/& I never get to lay back"
"Instead of a war on poverty/They got a war on drugs, so the police can bother me"
"The power is in the people and politics we address"
not sure if i can use this it's wrong if i say it. many
such cases actually. reference
to Black Panther separatism. let's
all be nicer to each other. i still
don't think the circumstances of his death can be separated from COINTELPRO.
not because i think it's
a conspiracy, but because the people who benefit from COINTELPRO also
perpetuate and benefit from the social inequalities that lead to
poverty and drug addiction and his death. breaking
my overexplaining rule this one time because of how badly i was misunderstood last time i
tried saying this.
