Wussup

It's been hard to keep up the emotional and physical energy to stay active in activism this last year and a half.. As the many organizations I support lost sight of what were the most important issues to tackle and the oppressors bulldozed farther over us, I had to turn away from the day to day activities.

I haven't though, been biding my time without progressive activity. My rate of drafting ideas and plans for better futures has increased and hopefully soon I'll have time to complete some of my more concise peices and put them out for public consumption. The first of which I'm calling The Short Forms, and it will be a podcast of highly summarized histories on various key topics.
