The deeper you go into the ocean, the weirder the fish tend to become because the environment is very different there than on the surface. The subconscious is often like that, too. So, if a scary thought pops up during a meditation, it's probably not a demon; it's just a weird fish that lives there.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.”

On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.”A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use.

On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield.A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm.

On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents.A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

In the history of dumb shit happening, there's a history of people being able to survive it. It doesn't mean we need to roll over and let it happen, but there's always a way forward. Or we'd have been over a long time ago. There's always hope.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

The Earth doesn’t “go around the Sun” the Earth goes in a straight line through an area of spacetime that bends around the Sun and I think that’s neat.

As part of the ruling, the judge says that Apple cannot:

- Impose “any commission or any fee on purchases that consumers make outside an app”
- Restrict developers’ style, formatting, or placement of links for purchases outside of an app
- Block or limit the “use of buttons or other calls to action”
- Interfere with consumers’ choice to leave an app with anything beyond “a neutral message apprising users that they are going to a third-party site”

In conclusion, the main problem with AI isn't AI, it's rampant, unrestrained late stage capitalism and the capture of democratic institutuons by unaccountabke oligarchs. Might be better to make THAT shit the site of our resistance because tech hype cycles come and go.

I'll summarize: the biggest issues around AI are the same issues we have with EVERY other piece of infrastructure that we depend on. It's all been privatized or is being privatized. We lack control and oversight and the people who are supposed to exercise it are in the pockets of the billionaires

Happy birthday to #mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925). 🧪🐡🧮 This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle. First described by mathematician Felix Klein in 1882, this object has a single surface, rather like a 3D version of a Möbius strip. 🧵
This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle, printed in a gradient of yellow-green to blue-green on paper 8" by 8" (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm).

Fun fact, JK—who is English—single-handedly funded the Scotland remain movement during the referendum, and called separatists “bigots”. She’s the reason there’s no independent Scotland. She throws her money and clout around like she’s fucking Nigel Farage. She’s a billionaire corrupting politics.

Beautiful Landsat image of Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes. Mauna Loa is in the center, with lava flows radiating out from the summit crater. Kilauea is in the center right, and if you look close you can see a small plume of steam and gases. It's been erupting periodically since late December. ⚒️🧪
A satellite image of Hawaii. In the center of the image, Mauna Loa volcano is a light brown landscape with dark brown lava flows fanning out from the central crater like spokes on a wheel. Next to Mauna Loa is a smaller volcano with a small puff of steam and gases coming from the crater. The surrounding landscape is vibrant green and dotted with small puffy clouds.
