Angry, yelly, soccer fan and socialist living in Downtown PDX. My apartment looks like a frat house that is very into fiber arts. She/her/dude, gender: queer, old enough to be your parent. Views are mine and not those of my employer, parent, or cat.

Dear centrists, A leftist being an ass isn’t a gotcha . Yall watched people be racist and still need a white person to tell you what’s problematic . Not wanting a genocide to continue is a viable political positions and concentrating on the clown cars doesn’t make what’s happening less real

The fact the mayor thinks this is a curseful prayer says a shitton about the mayor
Thank you mayor, council. Let us pray,” Dalbey started. “Dear dark father, let us stand now unbowed and unfettered by arcane doctrines born of fearful minds and darkened times. Let us embrace the Luciferan impulse to eat off the tree of knowledge and dissipate our blissful and comforting delusions of old.”


The prayer is a common one used by the Satanic Temple of Iowa. “Let us demand that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not for their fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations,” he continued. “Let us reason our solutions with agnosticism in all things, holding fast only to that which is demonstrably true. Let us stand firm against any and all arbitrary authority that threatens the personal sovereignty of one or all. That which will not bend must break. And that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared its demise.”“It is done. Hail Satan,” he finished.

Before Amelia Earhart, this female aviator thrilled S.F. Why is she forgotten?
“Flying Schoolgirl” Katherine Stinson broke gender barriers and thrilled San Francisco crowds long before Amelia Earhart. Then history lost her name.

Such a good thread both for letting you know what's going on in Paris and for showing standard police tactics. Telling protesters to disperse while blocking all the exits, singling people out with the intent to harm, and using tools that we know cause serious bodily harm? That's the cop playbook.

The youth protests in France that began over poor learning conditions in schools are now being met by police brutality. This is a clear demonstration (in every sense of that word) of the massive shift in state resources to policing & surveillance rather than public goods like education.

I usually design my business cards to be conversation-starters. But at after too many endless awkward discussions at recent events, I realized I needed a new type of card. The conversation-ender.
A stack of business cards reads in English and Korean: Generative AI is unethical, annoying, and anti-art. Anything it touches will fail, and be a mark of shame on human history. I do not wish to discuss this further.
