Only way I've managed to survive context collapse so far has been to actively construct and maintain an infrastructure of understanding rich enough so whatever context I find myself in or switch to (there are still many, even though they also so often […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
Photograph focused on a small flower and some of the Bindweed plant's leaves. The flower is a light pink sort-of cone with five sides, opening upwards from where it emerges from the stem.

Against a black background, a white silhouette of a person holds up a megaphone out of which a thought balloon grows with the words: Prizes Snacks Theory History Fun facts.

Above, "Community Quiz night!!!" is spelled out in letters apparently clipped from magazines. The rest repeats what is in the post, and adds the address for Sladden Park: 325 Cheshire Ave, Eugene, 97402.

A collection of spring flower photos: #BloomScrolling
A big globe of little purple flowers on a single green stalk, with a lawn behind it.A poppy (or looks like one, anyway) with mostly pink petals, and a black center — extending into the petals.Dozens of small, hanging white bell flowers, branching from red stalks.Several bunches, emerging out of the same base of stalks, of classic white daffodils with yellow bells in the center.

CW: death Persepolis is one of those graphic novels which brought a more holistic awareness of life in Iran to many people, and pushed the limits of what people (certainly in the USA, anyway) expect to see in the medium of comic books. Author Marjane […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
On the left, a black & white image of Marjane Satrapi, seated behind a table and looking into the camera lens, holding a cigarette elegantly in her left hand. On the right, this writing of hers:

The world is not divided into countries.
The world is not divided between East and West.
You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other,
but we talk together & we understand each other perfectly.
The difference between you & your government
is much bigger than the difference
between you & me.
And the difference between me & my government
is much bigger than the difference
between me & you.
And our governments
are very much
the same...
—Marjane Satrapi

On a diagonal across a square image, half is sidewalk and the rest starts with a single red flower, then dozens of deep yellow flowers tinged with red, and a cluster of smaller, blue flowers.

Do you like learning about, &/or sharing, your knowledge of history? How about the history of anarchism? Or maybe you simply enjoy seeing others jumping up & down with excitement because they know the answer? This June 22, come on down to Sladden Park (325 […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
Black & white poster with a giant letter board, the spaces that have letters spell out "Anarchist History." Otherwise it's the same text as in the post, announcing the 6-9pm, June 22 quiz event at Sladden Park in Eugene, Oregon.

Very Eugene! (And/or Berkeley) This banner, seen at Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza downtown, reads, “Free People’s Park” and “Drum Circle.” #Eugene
A tall purple banner with a tall drum on it, laid sideways on a low cement wall around an area with soil and a few plants.

For the community, by the community. You may have heard about the Eugene Police Department letting a racist cop resign rather than firing him. And pretending the problem was just this one guy! Who's gone now! Easy peasy. 🙄 This Friday, at 10am in Scobert […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Here, kid. You look like you might enjoy some AI now and then. Nothing wrong with that. Want some tokens? First batch is (nearly) free… #AI #addiction
A graphic showing that a user paying $39 per month was able to use over $5800 worth of tokens. [From before Microsoft shifted to token-based billing.)

Photo of a black & white street scene in Minnesota from above, at an angle. At the bottom is a dense crowd of agents. Moving up the street, there are some cars, some other objects in the road, and a similar number of activists but less densely filling the street, starting from about 50 feet away from the cops all the way up to where the photo cuts off.

Above is the bold headline: Breaking the ICE

Below the photo are dates and cities hosting the tour. (Up-to-date info is at the website.)

There has never been a valid excuse for withholding food from someone, unless the whole tribe is going hungry. And that's been relatively rare, since we became apex predators tens of thousands of years ago.
A pizza, toppings include fresh mushrooms, and canadian bacon?

Empathy is more rebellious than a middle finger. ❤️
A skeleton is crouched down, spraying paint from a can while their head is turned checking behind them. The words, arrayed around them in jumbled letters (some dripping): "Empathy is more rebellious than a middle finger"

I'm already hearing about another boycott/walkout starting March 15, and another one March 28. We may not have to wait until 2028 to see a general strike. #economics #labor #boycott #EconomicBoycott #GeneralStrike
Black & white handwritten text around a stylized large red bunny rabbit, against a light blue background:

Economic Boycott

Don't buy stuff — Friday, Feb 28
We have power

No Amazon Walmart Target fast-food gas

From Kim Kelly on Twitter: 'Apparently there’s a “kickoff” meeting between the DOGE people and Department of Labor management planned for tomorrow at 4pm ET.' x.com/GrimKim/status/18868985880992…
Three raised fists on a beige background, and these words:

FIGHT FOR WORKING PEOPLE

KEEP DOGE OUT OF DOL!

Working people deserve a STRONG
Department of Labor, not one run by
unaccountable billionaires and greedy
CEOs.
