Personal Politicks at Gene’s Dispensary, Los Angeles

Personal politicks at gene's dispensary, los angeles 16

Every person has to have a code. It is what allows people to unlock communication and connect with one another. We create our nests, our bubbles, our safe spaces. But nothing is actually safe, is it?

The world is on fire. Do you feel inflamed, too? I sure as shit do.

History is lived by all people. It’s written by those with voices. It’s edited and revised by those with power.

We live and we die and give in to time. At night, we convince ourselves that when we awake all will be fine. But borders are closing as quickly as our neighbors’ minds.

Keith J. Varadi, July 2025
