The IMF and World Bank no longer need to tell us what to do

One of the most enduring legacies of IMF-World Bank impositions is not the debt that remains on the books, but the colonial mentality and dependence persisting long after debts have been repaid.

‘Con Queste Armi Vinciamo la Tubercolosi’ (With These Weapons We Shall Defeat Tuberculosis) Tito Corbella, 1920 Lots more here archive.org/details/pict...

“Swords bearing the means to attack tuberculosis cause the foreboding figure of the disease to cower. Corbella’s skeletal image of the illness holds a sword that has been broken by the onslaught of the disease-fighting weapons — good hygiene, fresh air, sunshine, rest, temperance, proper food, cleanliness, and perseverance. Together those forces provide assurance that “we shall conquer tuberculosis.”

Decolonize and Re-Indigenize. While a bulk of this is toppling capitalist colonial regimes and systems, we each have individual responsibility, too. If you own land or are a homeowner, research Indigenous Land Tax and voluntarily make a recurring financial contribution to Indigenous communities.

Is your brain full of mind vampires?

A comic all in red, depicting a man with a cut out of his brain with a vampire skulking inside of it.
Big text at the top says "is your brain full of mind vampires? you are not alone."
The vampire says "bleh! bleh! I am 2000 years old. Bleh! your only desire now is to find my amulet."
The man says "Dang, gotta find that amulet."

Further text at the bottom says "there is no cure for mind vampires but there is support and management. Know the warning signs, get help early."

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

The kicker is *chef's kiss*

“You think we’re getting a little too close to Meta?” [John Georges, co-owner of Georges Media Group, the state’s largest media organization and parent company of the state’s largest newspaper, The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate], asked. “I’m not afraid of the sun. You know — Icarus? I’ll get as close to the sun as I can.”

Just an FYI. Bc I am seeing the "moots follow this person" posts If someone blocks someone before unfollowing it will still often show them as a follower. This site does not have "soft blocking" and does not remove a follower with blocking on either end.
