not all opinions are meant for twitter. character limits mean depth is lost and meaning is misconstrued.
in the spirit of doing culture criticism the proper way, i have a new essay out on @OlongoAfrica, titled On Mechanics and the Mechanisms of Power.

people, even self-proclaimed progressive people, can get really weird when class is the subject of discourse. every person who has piled on me is someone i have 20 to 30 mutuals in common with. there might be a lesson in that, though i don't know yet what it is.
Instead of commissioning artists to make your collection for you, you want to dangle money in their faces so they can make free marketing materials for you because you somehow magically now own the rights to the work... Hmmm, weird.
If you really want to support artists, then just... support them 😔
But noooo, make them work for hours with the higher chance of getting nothing in return.

I'm grateful for all the support so far. This is going much better than I expected.
Next milestone is top 50. Keep em votes coming 🐸🚬
New Collection on Transient Labs.
Me and Home — Between'

~The field between me and home is too wide to cross, too narrow to forget.~
The first drop of 5 unique arts. Read the history of the collection in the 🧵
Over 548 arrests and zero court convictions. A murdered brother and a mother bedridden for over five years. Yet, instead of confronting these blatant injustices, idiot @seunokin is asking if @Sowore is the "threat”. The same Sowore, Former Head Of State Abdul Salami said he will run from Nigeria if Sowore becomes President.
Nigerians will say that manifestos don't matter because they are just words written on paper but their preferred political parties will make sure nothing is written about lgbtq rights in those words.

As a queer person living in Nigeria, why would you want to support people who don't think your identity and safety is important enough to be mentioned?
