Summer 2012
I read headlines about a global warning “pause” and hope that maybe things aren’t so bad
2013-2021
I read more about climate science and get steadily more alarmed

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

An ancient and magical amber bear 🐻 ✨ Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø in Denmark from a submerged Mesolithic settlement under the North Sea. National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows a small and ancient figurine of an amber bear carved some 10,000 years ago during the Danish Mesolithic period. The museum lighting makes the amber glow translucent orange against a dark display case background. The bear is displayed on a small metal stand viewed in profile facing right. The ears, muzzle, and mouth are defined. The neck has a polished groove suggesting it was once suspended on a cord. The characteristic shoulder hump of a brown bear is clearly defined. There are some finely incised horizontal lines along the belly. The legs are incomplete. Length 6.5cm. Amber has many properties which may have been associated with 'magic' for ancient peoples. For example, when rubbed against fur, amber produces static electricity which can give off sparks in the dark, make hair stand on end, and attract small things towards it.
The bear was found in 1991 on a west coast beach of the Danish North Sea island of Fanø. It is one of a small number of amber animal figurines from the Baltic Sea region which have been assigned to the Mesolithic period by means of a typo-chronological approach and /or other contextual information.

In my time here I've seen political operatives from right to left, and one thing that remains consistent is that the left try to explain a lot to people who are rarely listening and the right just makes shit up to confuse people into voting against their own interests.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Literally just that one interview where the guy says "it's great, we can say 'retard' and 'pussy' again," that's the core constituency of the Trump II voter. Absolutely no connection to realities of governance, an eternal belief that "it'll be fine."

There'll be people who know the rules and uphold them because the logic behind the rule is sound. But there will also be those who seek ways around the rules that make them not count. To ask them to be perfect is to ask them to stop breathing.
