Photo grid of the June 4th vigil and Victoria Park, Hong Kong since 1990. Every photo shows a park packed with people holding candles for the people and dreams killed in Tiananmen. The grid stops at 2019, because since then, vigils have been banned in the city.

Persepolis was read all over the world—a true international phenomenon. Assigned in every class subject under the sun. During the Obama years, West Point cadets were assigned the book. There's never been anything like it; never anyone like her. What an awful world that couldn't hold her longer.

10 years ago I went to Taiwan 3x in 5 months as my dad’s health declined. I was wrestling w/ my grief at the same time we lost beloved artists & our country felt headed in the wrong direction.

I’m relieved Trump did not destroy an entire civilization last night, but his unhinged threat and illegal war make it clear he is unfit to serve as president. Trump needs to be removed from office. And we must oppose his administration’s new $1.5 trillion budget proposal for more war.

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

People who actually write know that writing is inseparable from thinking. AI doesn’t think so its output isn’t writing… AI generates content that *sounds like writing* and sadly most people don’t know the difference 😑

I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient. It's slow and painstaking. But I don't believe in efficiency as an ultimate good, especially in writing. /

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after

Nobody reads email anymore, it’s become such a burden. I hate it when people don’t reply to mine, but then again I also have 1000s of unread emails... It’s like phone calls. I’ve only answered my phone maybe 5 times in the past year. Why does every communication method die slowly like this 😩
