Seems a good time to recommend On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder, where the first lesson is: Do not obey in advance.

"Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

Roses are red, Blue, orange or yellow More diverse than you said There's even a rainbow

Pretty roses of a variety of colours. There's an explanation of societal meanings for the colours, I'll try a bot though.

I don't blame people for being skeptical of science, I just would have expected it to happen last century when they were constantly dropping bangers like atomic theory, relativity, and black holes

Don’t forget when picking out Valentine flowers: every part of the lily plant is DEADLY to cats. Even a few grains of pollen can be fatal. Do not mess around thinking you’ll put them in a “safe” spot - keep them out of your house. 🌸 www.fda.gov/animal-veter....

It’s hardly a novel observation but a big problem in our discourse is how many people assume middle class tops out just above whatever they’re making. They like the idea of everyone else paying their fair share, but not them.

Modern western life is charismatocratic, there's no meritocracy, no democracy, no flavour but normal, no colour but white (or, y'know, orange), fall in line or perish, talk the talk or get talked about.

What’s harder to believe? That universal healthcare is so radical and complicated that we’re the only country in the world without it. Or… The millions of dollars in insurance and pharma campaign donations each year to members of Congress are actually just bribes to block it.

I started ranting in response to this, so this is a thread. I think it’s informative, in an abbreviated tweet kind of way, delving briefly into Israeli state discrimination of Palestinians, sanctioned violence, impoverishing Gaza, attacks, controls, etc. You might enjoy it 🤷‍♂️

Once upon a time, the ever-evolving graffiti on this reservoir near the psych unit was a cave-painting-record. I photographed much of it over months. One day they painted it grey. The next day:

A slightly rounded wall painted pale grey, overgrown green grass at the base. Capital lettering on the wall, in two long lines, reads:
'With grey paint we silence some voices in a society. Advertising is fine - it is, after all, the graffiti of the rich"

I'm exploring minimalism and the limits of what can be considered art. I'm also doing this with music.

Four stroke face art, appears as a face but is just four strokes. Two orange marks make the eyes and a longer stroke for the nose, a slightly redder wishbone stroke makes the mouth.
