On Sunday I will be at Peach Berserk in Toronto with Andrew Cash talking about our punk band L'étranger and the politics of the Toronto scene. Hostess Kingi Carpenter is making great t-shirts from our old posters. We played with Dead Kennedys, Violent Femmes, Billy Idol, the Alarm, Alan Ginsberg.

ORPHANED CATS NEED FOREVER HOME IN NORTHEAST (PLEASE READ *ENTIRE* THREAD) My wife's childhood friend died Thursday, leaving his two *mildly* special-needs cats. The elder, Wally, is about 13. ABSOLUTELY affectionate cat; GLORIOUSLY dim. His only issue is that he poops in bathtubs if given a chance

If you're someone who doesn't participate in any forms of mutual aid but thinks you could be, now is a good time to figure out how you want to show up because in the U.S. this winter asks are going to skyrocket when the big federal cuts go into effect, whatever the broader conditions are by then.

A digital illustration of a crow, aiming toward the southeast, seen from a high angle, with its head turned to the southwest. In its beak it is holding a steak knife of some kind. You know like in that meme but a little different. The crow is casting a pink shadow onto an irregular orange shape it is standing on. And arrayed around said shape is some rough lettering in multiple colors reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

In general, (re)orienting education wholly or chiefly to specific perceived market needs is always going to produce disaster once the near term passes. It also eviscerates institutions that might otherwise help people weather change, intellectually and in other ways

I feel a strange need to repost this art. Sometimes art needs reposting y'know? Like this art. Did you know lionesses sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? Apparently bees, ants, & termites do this too. #art Available as a print! www.inprnt.com/gallery/pala...
Digital artwork with a square aspect ratio. It features six highly stylized lionesses in a pride circling a slain male lion. The male is shown from top-down view while the females are shown from a side view. The lionesses have mandala patterns in their fur. The dead male lion appears skinny and old. The style is similar to a vintage print on textured paper. The color themes are gold and red. The bottom right contains the artist's signature and the the word "yong-gi" which is a Korean word for courage.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Recharge. Stay hydrated. Eat a healthy snack. Breathe. Embrace moments of joy wherever you can find them. Prolonged stress can have long term health consequences. Self care is not selfish - it’s empowering. (More info in alt)
A digital art drawing with a cat in three different modes with accompanying text: "rest, regulate, resist”. 

Inspired by the political situation that has been unfolding in the US - protests, murders of civilians in the streets by ICE/CBP agents, and the rising fascism that’s been taking hold here. It’s a lot to process. There’s a lot of important news happening, and the term “doomscrolling” feels trivializing in the face of a situation that is unfolding on people’s doorsteps right now. Yes, it’s very important to stay aware and informed. 

BUT - it’s also important to be aware of the impact that prolonged acute stress can have on the nervous system. It’s a health hazard in itself, and can result in long term heath problems, including chronic illnesses such as me/cfs. (Ask me how I know… 😞) 

So, it’s absolutely crucial during this time to take care of yourself and, as much as possible, not get fully swept away in the stress of current events, as scary, nerve-wracking, infuriating, dangerous, and immediate as they are. Self care is not selfish. We need you at your best.

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement
An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Credit to Puzzle agency, original information from Veronica With Four Eyes and veroniiiica dot com
