whenever you feel like you’re too small to change anything know that citizens from small towns and cities that speak up against flock and axon cameras in their communities (and sometimes get arrested for it) are fighting and sometimes succeeding against this

You have to wait until the sixth paragraph of this piece before you learn, in the New York Times reporting on the murder of THEIR OWN EMPLOYEE, that the victim was a trans man who had been abused for being trans by the in-laws who murdered him. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

I will support whichever Yiddish newspaper starts allowing these ads again: "A DARK YEAR! I am wishing all the butchers that hit my husband, and also those who organized the fight. Chinka the Butcher" Published in Lublin, Poland, 1929.
clipping of 1929 newspaper, that reads in Poland and then Yiddish:

Przeklęcie
na nowy rok žyczę tym rzežnikom, którzy pobili mego męża oraz tym którzy tę bójkę zorganizowali.
rzežniczka CHINKA

Part of the frontlash to 2020 is that workers were clawing back some power in the workplace. This is under considered in all of the "discourse."

By joining the pile-on against Hasan Piker, Democrats & liberals are running the Right's disinformation playbook for them-- the same playbook the Right uses before every election. This time around the moral panic was created by a far-right pro-Israel account named Max Nordau/

I’m seeing a lot of people hang their hopes and all their attention on the midterms. Electoral organizing matters, but full-time spectatorship won’t build the power we need. I wrote about checking in with yourself about where your attention is going and what you’re doing with it.

Resisting Total Electoral Absorption
It may be worth checking in with ourselves, from time to time, about what, if anything, our attention is cultivating.

I can’t believe that liberals would rather be against the super mid position of defunding police rather than learn the definition of defund. But here we are. With schools defunded. Social safety nets defunded. Food safety defunded. Regulatory agencies defunded. In part because you never listened.

One of my few critiques of Hades 2 is that The Unseen don't have as many interesting relationships as the House of Hades had. Patroclus/Achilles and Eurydice/Orpheus were my favorite story lines in the first game. Interestingly, in Madeline Miller's Circe Odysseus does spend a year with Circe.

Some Personal News + an ask: I’m going out to work the harvest at a winery in OR! My dogsitter fell through, now I need someone who wants to stay in my house & take care of the sweetest dog. Ideally Gabe could stay here, but I can also bring him to anyone who lives within a day’s drive of DC.
Could you or someone you know use a free place to stay in DC for a couple months? And also love dogs?
Live in my house and take care of Gabe while I'm off harvesting wine
