S.B.S.M. NEW RECORDINGS
The Spanish men left babies right and left. When most of the indias had given birth to mixed-blood children, when all the lands had been divided, our labor shared out in the encomienda, and no more caciques went out to battle them, they said the people were gone. How could we be gone? We were the brown and olive and cream-colored children of our mothers: Arawak, Maya, Lucaya, stolen women from all the shores of the sea. When we cooked, it was the food our mothers had always given us. We still pounded yuca and caught crabs. We still seasoned our stews with ají and wore cotton skirts. When we burned their fields, stole their cattle, set fire to their boats, they said we were someone else. What was wrong with their eyes? We mixed our blood together like sancocho and calalú. But the mother things stayed with us.

‘Love is contraband in hell,
cause love is an acid
that eats away bars.
but you, me, and tomorrow
hold hands and make vows
that struggle will multiply.
the hacksaw has two blades.
the shotgun has two barrels.
we are pregnant with freedom.
we are a conspiracy.’

starting to have weird feelings about bdsm related imagery in experimental music/art. just seems like a way-too-easy avenue for being “edgy” (SEX/LEATHER/SHARP THINGS/BRUISES OMG) is getting kind of boring to me at this point. be subversive because you have to. do it in a way that is actually a…
