I recently lost a few friends to #suicide. I was shocked and deeply saddened. These deaths reminded me how precious life is. Please keep this in mind every day: Life is precious. Hug those you can and say I love you as well. We are all given a life, so please live it to your fullest, if you can. #RIP #lifeisprecious ❤️

Ruth Wilson Gilmore: “Where life is precious, life is precious.”

"So let’s put our heads into prison for a moment and say, “What are they made of?” They’re made of land, they’re made of labor, they’re made of money capital, and they’re made of the state’s capacity to organize land, labor, and money capital that way. That’s what they’re made of. And the labor is both the labor that builds the buildings, the labor that tends the buildings — the disqualified labor that is the prisoners. [...] All that is the prison. Now then we ask ourselves, “Well, how is it possible for all of these resources, what we will call factors of production, to be organized in that way? How is that possible? Why not organize them into housing projects or dams or roads or highways or ports?”

If you could hold and kiss
your beloved

One last time
Before that final fall of night

My dear one

Hold and kiss
existence

Like that
