“Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It’s adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.” - Nick Cave

Background : one family member loves making fig jam. One family member hates fruit flies, so we put the plucked figs on the front porch till ready to jam. Someone else was checking them out.
Bowl of ripe figs in a colander on a cement porch with foot prints of fig juice maybe from a raccoon. Various boxes frame the view.

Got to use that classical education to give my movie watching party the three minute summary of the Trojan war from Eris to the horse; did not get into themes of anger, blinded by anger, hubris or the like. Although it would be appropriate at this world historical time.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.
