This episode is a poetic meditation on the week's events in Black and BlaQueer life; beginning with readings of historic Black poems. Here, we address the racial-sexual politics of policing as anti-Black violence; anti-immigration practices as afterlives of slavery; and Blackness and Queerness as inseperable, co-constituitive realities in BlaQueer life.
