The Black Sheep: Part 1
The nuclear family is a site of Black death, both physically and ontologically. It also facilitates the death of Black autonomy through embodying the amalgamation of various institutions and structures which give birth to the state and sustains it. The effects of this on Black men and women have bee...
The Ouroboros of Western Feminism: Proletarian Feminism and Transmisogynoir
When reading Lenin, perhaps more than anything, the sentiment expressed from him that stands with me the most clearly is aptly summarized by his statement that “it is therefore our duty, if we wish to remain socialists to go down lower and deeper, to the real masses; this is the whole meaning and ...
"Non-Men", maGes, and Black Masculinities
In order to understand patriarchy, one must understand masculinity in relation to, specifically, anti-Black cisheteropatriarchy. Recently however, it’s becoming more and more obvious that a lot of people are fumbling the bag when it comes to this topic. Specifically, I want to talk about the attem...

For this reason, the black nihilistrejects the emancipatory impulse within certain aspects of Black critical discourseand cultural/critical theory. In this sense, ...
Anti-Blackness and the Economy of Outrage
I am burned out on outrage for anti-Blackness and yet I have experienced an incredible pressure to feel outrage and something approaching a sense of guilt. This now makes sense to me as the function of outrage is to animate us to embrace a temporary spontaneity, and this is then utilized to form wha...
Ungendering and the Denial of Femininity Part 2: Anti-Theory as Transmisogynoir
“When I asked Mr. Johnson how the union succeeded in winning some of their demands, without the slightest hesitation he reached into the drawer of his nightstand and pulled out a dog-eared copy of V. I. Lenin’s What Is to Be Done and a box of shotgun shells, set both firmly on the bed next to me...
What is "Mutual Aid" from nonblacks if not slavery persevering?
Summer 2020 came with the largest slave revolt in years in the United States. It also came with calls for “solidarity” and “mutual aid” from nonblack people. We were told this “mutual aid” was different from charity. Maybe we should revisit this distinction and see just how well it track...
Ungendering and the "Denial of Femininity"
The limitation of "center Black trans women/fems" from Black TME people maybe wouldn't be so evident if not accompanied by the liberal and defanged frameworks and attempts at showing solidarity with us from them. In practice, "centering" us does not mean a commitment to being acc...
