When of course, in that scenario, Iran is clearly the biggest loser.

Mary Oliver. The black honey of summer.

ripe blackberries hanging from a blackberry cane, with ferns in the background

August
by Mary Oliver

When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend

all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking

of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body

accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among

the black bells, the leaves; there is
this happy tongue.

You could say anything. Poem by Charles O. Hartman.

Ticket

I love the moment at the ticket window—he says—
when you are to say the name of your destination, and realize
that you could say anything, the man at the counter
will believe you, the woman at the counter
would never say No, that isn't where you're going,
you could buy a ticket for one place and go to another,
less far along the same line. Suddenly you would find yourself
—he says—in a locality you've never seen before,
where no one has ever seen you and you could say your name
was anything you like, nobody would say No,
that isn't you, this is who you are. It thrills me every time.

the rate of progress in battery tech is *insane.* prices down 40% and space efficiency up by ~half in ONE YEAR www.volts.wtf/p/solarstora...

Solar+storage is so much farther along than you think

On how plummeting battery prices make 24/7 solar power a reality today.

Bill McKibben said something similar a lot of years ago (15, maybe?) at Vermont's diocesan convention: build community. Vibrant communities will do better than isolated wealthy suburbs. Local food, mutual aid, water protection, the bonds of local civic life - these are where resilience lie.

I think the fact that I'm now full of fighting spirit is a sign that acceptance and grief are enlivening, not deadening. So let's fight for mitigation. Let's fight for the fascists' overthrow. And let's pour energy into local communities and looking out for each other.

Screenshot from the Suzuki interview: "Governments will not be able to respond on the scale or speed that is needed for these emergencies, so Finland is telling their citizens that they’re going to be at the front line of whatever hits and better be sure you’re ready to meet it. Find out who on your block can’t walk because you’re going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators? Start assessing the roots of escape. You’re going to have to inventory your community, and that’s really what we have to start doing now."

This, combined with the report of the Deep Western Boundary Current reversal, strikes me as correct. Our political, legal, and economic systems have not budged. This is not giving up: "The units of survival are going to be local communities, so I’m urging local communities to get together."

Reporting in from our local No Kings rally today in northern New England, I'd guess ~250 people lining both sides of main street! Excellent turnout, and a lot of support from folks driving through.

People line both sides of a main street, holding flags and homemade signs.

my hand covers several stenciled letters of a No Smoking sign on a concrete barrier so that it reads "NO KING"

People line the side of the street, packed together, holding signs and flags, fading into blurry obscurity. In the foreground, the only legible sign reads "No dictators in the USA."

A man strides the edge of a street lined with people. Three legible signs read "A toupee is not a crown," No Kings, No Dictators, No Oligarchy," and "Trump can oligargle my balls."

GET SPIELBERG ON LINE ONE

My grandmother was harassing me about the dangers of online dating, and my grandpa was like,
"Oh fer crying out loud, leave her alone. My parents met online, she'll be fine." Apparenly my great grandparents were both telegraph operators who would chat over the line in between messages and fell in love and my great grandma moved halfway across the country to marry a dude she met over the telegraph.
No one alive in the family had ever heard this story until like 70+ years later when I happened to start seeing a dude from OK Cupid.

The fascists have never "made the trains run on time," because trains are a complex system that requires expertise, compromise, and concession - with reality if nothing else; no matter how competent you are as an administrator, you can't simply order that there will be no delays. Systems take work.
