Thinking of/with antiwar activist A. J. Muste:

Once a reporter asked him, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night in front of the White House with a candle?" A.J. Muste replied softly: "Oh I don't do this to change the country. I do this so the country won't change me.

Please share your feedback on how genAI destroys the livelihoods of artists on the official EU website. You can do so even if you're not an EU citizen. We have to be loud so the change will come, and practice shoes that voicing hatred towards genAI works ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

I thought I would have a peaceful day of writing, then seeing my friends gig in the evening, instead I am whisked off to go watch a helicopter opera. It will be my first opera and I need to bring headphones and stand in a rainy airfield for an hour. Am I supposed to dress formal for this??

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩
A lit-up vintage vending machine at night behind a cinderblock building at the edge of a foggy pine forest. A raccoon is crawling into the vending machine slot, reaching for a baby oppossum that’s nestled itself between the snack rows and hisses at the rescue attempt. The oppossum parent watches from atop the vending machine, accompanied by a squirrel. On the ground, a fox hungrily watches rats gathered under the vending machine.

Once again.
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville. On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”. In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

Be wary of people calling themselves the "silent majority" because they are never silent and most definitely not the majority. Even mobilising every gender critter in the UK they could only muster a few thousand objections

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2026
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Nihao Country (a short comic about what a word can mean) 1/2 #comics
While travelling in Taiwan, I found it surprising that my heart did a little catch every time there was a "Nihao!"My personal history with this word, growing up a non-Chinese Asian kid in a very white American town, was based around ignorance. "But... I'm not.."I grew up with the expectation of "fighting back" which I also found stressful...This is my first time in a Chinese-speaking country, despite having this word follow me throughout my life.
