yearning to no more live in fear of the one yoga instructor obsessed with handstands, i sign up for an inversions workshop. two days later, experiencing devastating delayed onset muscle soreness in muscles i didn't even know existed & boiling myself in the bathtub like a giant shiny red lobster

delighted everything about august is done with for another year -- but for the peaches. in my typical hubris bought a few this week, hoping to mark the end of summer, but they are just a little pithy; their juice tastes like the memory of peaches.

Amazing article. "More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

Wobbly memes rule.

A diagram of the trolley problem titled IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) Presents: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

The illustration shows a trolley on a forking track. On one line five people are tied to the track, on the side track one person is tied to the track. The trolley has passed halfway across the tracks point of intersection. Off to the side a person manning a switch lever gives the viewer a thumbs up.

Text beside an arrow pointing at the track intersection reads: "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt. Thank a rail worker today!

A favorite genre of vintage New Year greetings: Little Hungover Guys who absolutely wrecked. Plus one drunk moon. I'm guessing these are probably 1910s or 20s. Not sure.

Illustration of a man in striped pajamas, looking rumpled, sitting on a bed with sheets hanging off, untucked. Clothes are strewn about the room. Pictures on the wall are crooked and an umbrella is stuck on a hanging light fixture. Pants are hanging from the umbrella with hems sitting in a wash bowl full of water. He is a wreck. Just a mess.

Fancy lad is passed out drunk on the floor of a riding stable leaning against a barrel with a horse leaning over him tending to him.

A man in a robe with his head wrapped in a bandage, hungover and distressed, being tormented by little devils with pitchforks and horns.

A table with emplty champagne bottles and glasses in front of a window. Through the window you can see a big full moon face that looks a bit drunk. He's got a wonky eye a reddish nose and he's smoking a cigarette lol.

1. Offering analyses like this one in WaPo without engaging with the substantive content of "liberal" and "conservative" is facile; these aren't empty categories or irrelevant to daily life, esp wrt views of gender roles/relations. 2. As always, it's a beautiful day to abolish the family!

a fun side-effect of teaching is that i now approach learning about any new subject in terms of a syllabus. anyways, i'm systematically filling in the gaps in my knowledge of early post-punk and about to become the most annoying person on the planet about it just in time for the party season.

Two weeks ago, Jewish Currents interviewed three doctors in Gaza to show the world the direness of their situation. The story was just updated to reflect one of the doctors was killed by an airstrike in his own home, making this quote even more gutting. jewishcurrents.org/we-have-lost...

I hope to raise my kids to be ambitious—not to think about war, missiles, rockets. Every day, I see a fear in their eyes that I can’t do much about. It’s very painful. If you have kids, you know how horrible it is not to be able to comfort them, to ensure they are alright, to make them hope for anything beyond living one more day. We want to live freely like other people—to grow scientifically and economically, to walk in the street without fearing bombardments, to make plans. We want to be able to learn, think, grow, travel, dream—to feel like we are really human. Not to think only about meeting our basic needs. This is what life has always been about for us, and now—I want the world to know—we are being eradicated en masse. This is not what life should look like.
