When I’m terrified, I yell and carry on in a rage because I go into fight mode. This asshole needed to rev his car ALL THE WAY UP to move one car’s length in the car line at school. My heart is racing. I’m about to puke. My chest feels torn open and bleeding. I saw red and yelled. Fuck you, sir!

Lanterns is so cute…believing architects still make physical models of their designs. Honey, it’s all 3D renderings and digital slideshows now.

It was a dumb joke about a new sheriff in town, but today’s Ted Lasso made me cry with joy. They see me.

Ok, but can we talk about Erika Ishii just pulling “Mediation” from the opera “Thais” on violin out of her back pocket like it was no biggie?

Heard outside my window: Teen carrying on at the top of his lungs while he zoomed by in a scooter. Also heard outside my window: a car horn honking furiously some three houses down. . . . . Hope no one got hurt.

Ed Sheeran’s band dropped out of the tour. Good on you, Beoga! Free Palestine.
Statement by BeogaMusic:

We have made the decision to depart as Ed Sheeran’s band on the remaining US Loop tour, following the silencing of Macklemore by zionist lobbies.

We are a traditional Irish band who never saw ourselves playing in stadiums of that size and that opportunity is not lost on us. We have been friends with Ed for over 10 years now and will continue to be. We believe in dialogue as a means of progressing the plight of the Palestinian people.Statement by BeogaMusic:

As musicians, playing to those crowds every night is the stuff of dreams but to play in venues that silence anyone advocating for a Free Palestine is simply not an option for us.

It’s important that everyone knows that the real enemy is the zionist lobby. They have worked tirelessly to silence artists who want to speak freely about a genocide happening before our eyes, for fear of retribution.

Research how much Robert Kraft has done to fight the BDS movement. That will give you a sense of what we’ve all been up against.

We were there for Macklemore’s performance and speech. We fully supported his message, so did most of the audience in Met Life Stadium which terrifies the lobbies. Go back and read the transcript if you’re in doubt.Statement by BeogaMusic:

We are Irish people who understand colonialism. As founding members of the Irish Artists for Palestine movement, we are committed activists for justice and will continue to be.

This whole episode is once again serving to distract from the real issue, over 1000 Palestinians have been killed since the most recent so-called ceasefire.

Up the workers.

Free Palestine.

BEOGA

Well, fuck today, in particular, I guess. Spent the day staring at my computer screen in ADHD task paralysis then learned my uncle died when I finally allowed myself to throw in the towel. Do not recommend. (Didn’t know this uncle well. Just a reminder that my dad is getting older.)

I use being an Eagles fan to diffuse tension bc even more than wokeness, DEI, or kneeling during the anthem, people just LOVE to complain to an Eagles fan about how they detest us. Keep talking, bud. You wouldn’t be so courageous if we were in Philly. It’s the start of the NFL season. #GoBirds !

Getting into a boy wizard debate on IG. An Arab comedian I followed (whose content is mid, to be honest) posted a set centering the boy wizard, and I finally unfollowed him. Couldn’t do it without leaving my thoughts for him to read first, and people are responding.

@blogofmanythings.art I saw you and your husband in my dream last night. We were neighbors living across the hall from one another. My husband and I would visit you to watch tv shows. You lived in a ground floor unit that had a panoramic view of the ocean.

Today is my grandfather’s birthday. He would have been 97. I told myself I wasn’t going to do the math. I wasn’t going to brace myself. I would let today pass without grief. But now I know Dolly Parton has passed, and it seems I will be mourning today after all. ❤️‍🩹

Turns out that the ADA says no. No open riser stairs in commercial buildings because they are not accessible to people with low mobility (ie, on crutches) or people with low vision.

#accessibility Friends, please help me understand the accessibility (or lack thereof) of an open riser stair - aka, it has a horizontal piece to step on but no vertical fill. It’s for an office building. There is another closed stair elsewhere and, of course, an elevator.

Text reads:

Nobody:
Jacob’s Hoodie:

On the left, an Asian man (Jacob Battalon) in glasses and a white baseball cap worn backwards smiles. He is wearing a dark blue hoodie with a figure holding an umbrella on the chest.

On the right, a white man (Tom Holland) in a black leotard, latex shorts, leggings, and straight black wig dances with a black umbrella. It is the same figure as the one on the hoodie.

Why can’t my colleagues understand that I can’t do my job if they don’t give me the information in their heads? They think the questionnaire that relays their info to me is a superfluous task. They get paid more than me to be licensed architects. They have the skills to write their own specs.

There is something to be said about the way Penelope reacts, first to Odysseus plucking the bow, then to him shooting the arrow through the axes. She feels the impact of the arrow on the board as though it physically struck her. The arrow shot by her beloved husband. As though from Eros himself.

People are calling Spain the best team in the world. No, they’re not! Cabo Verde would have kicked Argentina out if the officiating had been fair. Then they would have beat Egypt (after a tough game), Switzerland, and England. Cabo Verde versus Spain in the final. We’ll never know who was best.
