god grant me the audacity of a Catholic convert sincerely telling the Pope he’s wrong about theology

"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

Ukraine has been hitting Russia's oil export terminals of Primorsk and Ust Luga every 48 hours for the last week with tremendous success. Russia will no longer be able to export oil from the Baltic Sea and repairs for the terminals will take years.

A thought of "separating the art from the artist": It's a way to approach the work as an audience member, taking it entirely on its own terms. Just the art, regardless of what the artist might be like. It's not about money. If you buy it and the artist gets paid, you haven't separated shit.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
