church statement on the Palm Sunday bombing of Ahli Arab Baptist hospital in Gaza. Let’s hope the entire global Anglican communion speaks out against the genocide. World-wide coordination is precisely what denominational institutions are for.

garden gather #2. arugula, red oak lettuce, baby romaine. I do not know why the earth hasn’t stopped turning when there is so much violence and so many people living at gunpoint. What do you do when your neighbors are hurting? Sharing what I grow is a way of making a better world. Feed everyone.

yesterday was Senegal's independence day 🇸🇳. A day late, here's Ousmane Sembène's adaptation of a popular song composed (in Lingala) about Patrice Lumumba (first prime minister of the DRC, assassinated in 1961). For Sembène, Senegal's independence was linked to the independence of all of Africa.

recent update posted on the website of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to change NEH priorities to reflect Trump's racist/sexist/eugenicist/fossilfuelfascist e.o.s:

This post presents information about recent changes to funding opportunities at the National Endowment for the Humanities, including a screenshot of the NEH website that reads:
Changes in NEH Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs)
Applicants should be aware of several recent revisions that NEH is making to its current funding opportunities, or NOFOs. To comply with recent Administration Executive Orders (“Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” and “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling”), NEH is adding several new prohibited categories to the Funding Restrictions section of its NOFOs.

As required by the Administration’s Executive Orders, NEH awards may not be used for the following purposes:

promotion of gender ideology;
promotion of discriminatory equity ideology;
support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) or diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives or activities; or
environmental justice initiatives or activities.

CBS News coverage, by Kathryn Watson, of Trump's comments about taking over Gaza is truly inadequate and bad journalism: zero mention that this would be illegal. Most mainstream outlets in the US can't even report through a basic framework of democracy and rule of law, let alone human rights.

This is laughable, horrible, terrifying, vile, moronic, vicious, and deadly all at once. It is naive and evil. Genocidal colonialism, right here and now.

His policy to buy back any instrument he sells at the price he sold it is top-tier anticapitalist carftspersonship. I so deeply respect him for that. A recent addition to the shop is a bobble-head Yannick in the bottom of the bow case lol

My teen has been writing college apps all week, response after response to prompt after prompt. Some of the prompts are confusing, but some are really good. Here's her response to one of the better ones (she's already been rejected here). The college app process is nuts and kind of a racket.
