minor quibble: i got an unused clover take-out coffee cup the day they closed, and i was going to bring it to work next year and see who noticed. now it won't be funny. oh well. but otherwise, super happy this place is open again www.wcvb.com/article/clov...

all this mogging crap is part of the weirdo right's attempt to renormalize interpersonal hierarchies and daily domination

Really dug the production design of Backrooms; at times I was thinking about the “glitch” furniture sculpture of Ferruccio Laviani and the melting rugs of Faig Ahmed. Felt like they’re all coming from a similar mindset

When they say "safety," they do not mean your safety. They don't mean the safety of the detainees who are on hunger strike to call attention to the life-threatening conditions in Delaney Hall. They don't mean the safety of the protesters they tear-gas. They only mean the safety of their regime.

My next filmmaker zine is coming along well and will hopefully be done in a couple weeks, I've got four more profiles to do. Here's a look at some of the featured director portraits ❤️

An audience member asked me about leftist pronatalism.

it's a very long and dense book. Best read slowly in sections, with other books in between

i'm only halfway done with this book, but I can't speak loudly enough about it. Hundreds of interviews with american anarchists, spanning half a century of involvement. People telling their life stories, their successes and failures, their dreams and philosophy. triple thumbs up!

18 hrs. ago, Credit @huffpost.com "A LA man gave an impassioned speech calling out state Republicans for their racist gerrymander. “I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y’all are in a death spiral,” he said. “That’s why y’all have to redistrict. That’s why y’all have to cheat.”
