A square of text in the midst of black-and-white lines that reads - sometimes our feelings aren’t actually aligned with our values… in part, that’s why we’re supposed to have a community that can hold when these things are happening so our feelings don’t end up governing how we’re going to live in the world, for everybody, how all of us are going to be governed together.

god have mercy on our souls
Screenshot of New York Times photo and headline: "Christa Pike's Lawyers Say She Is Angry and Confused After Failed Execution." Teaser text reads "One of her lawyers said she was aware of the attempted execution and was angry after regaining consciousness. He said her first words were apparently, "Where am I and who are you?"

I love how whenever I start research for a project and come across the name of an obscure right wing mega donor then Google them and learn that every time I buy something simple like trash bags I’ve been giving money to a fascist

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

rip annie dillard
One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.
