Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Ten years ago today, CPSC shared its first safety meme. What started as a single baby floating in a force field in outer space has become a universe with dozens of safety characters spanning hundreds of safety graphics sharing thousands of safety messages.

All of CPSC's social media characters gathered around a giant number 10 floating in outer space. The text reads: Happy 10 years of safety memes to all our followers and friends! Tomorrow, we care for one another all over again!

Intrigued by the concept of “disaster nationalism.”

Foregrounding the role of emotions in politics, Richard Seymour argues that for those who are miserable, insecure and humiliated, the far-right offers a specific remedy in what he terms disaster nationalism: "It offers the balm, not just of vengeance, but of a sort of violent reset which restores the traditional consolations of family, race, religion and nationhood, including the chance to humiliate others." For Seymour, the endgame is to channel the resentments of a population into a "revolt against liberal civilization." He describes it as "a thin, networked civil society base whose energies are wrapped around culture wars that occasionally explode into the meatspace violence of lone-wolf murderers, vigilantes, riots, pogroms, and pseudo-insurrections." Its elected leaders direct their aggression not at electoral democracy, but at the liberal state, and their aim "is to effect a constitutional rupture that tilts the balance of rule toward authoritarian democracy rather than outright dictatorship."

the frame is split into two photos. the one on the left shows a black dog with a very subtle white stripe down his nose as well as a slightly gray patch on his chest. the image on the right shows the same pup a decade later. his face and legs are nearly all white now.

It's just as simple as that. Even now, calling it "Universal Healthcare" or "Medicare for All" means that Black and Brown people would also get it, and they can't have THAT, even if they want it themselves.

Preferring nonfiction, I rarely read fiction - let alone historical fiction. But...I really, really enjoyed Last Night at the Telegraph Club, a historical novel geared toward young adult readers. Set in 1950s San Francisco, it centers a Chinese American teenage girl discovering her queerness. #books

"Keep a journal—fill it with everything you come in contact with—be very aware—of shapes, everything, because letters are shapes."
