‘Come, Great Pan, and bless us all; Bless the corn and honey-bee. Bless the vine and bless the kine, Bless the vales of Arcady: Bless the nymphs that laugh and flee, God of all fertility.’ — Dion Fortune, ‘The Rite of Pan’ in ‘The Goat-Foot God’ (1936) #BookologyThursday 🎨Gustave Moreau, 1894

The thing is, if you're in the United States right now, struggling to stay housed and survive within a dsyfunctional and expensive healthcare system, while suffering under red and blue maga and the capitalist ruling class, there is a figurative gun to your head with little to no way out.

When Israeli Elbit systems lost the contract to train the UK's armed forces, it went to US arms giant Raytheon which - in 2015 won £150m payoff after its border IT system failed - in 2025 was fined $950m by US Dept of Justice for 'defrauding' USA over inflated Patriot missiles prices via Private Eye

In order to assassinate one civilian engineering professor, Israel killed his children as well as 50 other people. That the entire world has not turned against this genocidal regime despite its attacks against 6 countries in less than 3 years is the biggest failure of the intl community in 80 years

dishonest flesh melts off our Terminator "economy",revealing capital's impervious skeleton of extractive maximalism that won't tolerate a ship of oil unsold, a pipeline unbuilt, an inch of land undug or sea floor undragged, a star unhidden by satellites, an aquifer undrained or ancient city unbombed

"A total of 40 people received CZK 100,000 with no conditions, another 20 were assigned a dedicated social worker, and the remaining 40 received standard social services... The idea that they would spend everything immediately was not confirmed. “People spent the most on food, housing and clothing."

This ring of light is called either a sun halo or a 22° halo. Light shines through high altitude ice crystals and is bent at 22°, with the result being a ring around the Sun. ⭕ #hacienddelmarl #gaytravel #gaytraveler #gaytraveling #iglta #mexico #vivamexico #vacation #worldtravel #solotravel

つくしがいっぱい なんてったって春 @botanical.bsky.social

大阪関西万博のオーストリア館でもらった種子ミックスから育った花が咲きました リビングストンデージーらしい 蒔いた時期が悪かったのか芽が出たのは2種類一本ずつでした 後ろのギザギザの葉っぱの方はまだもう少しかかりそうです @botanical.bsky.social

Leg up, tongue out! Happy #TongueoutTuesday 🤗🤗🤗 #cats

it's our right to envision and instantiate better futures, positive institutions, restorative justice, gallantry, basic fairness, gentleness, decency, nourishment of body/mind/spirit. Can we kick the thanatocratic tragedians out of The Commons? Tell better stories—eventually we can believe in them.

he of the topaz-hued countenance is infamously base and vile

the gentleman with a pumpkinish coloration evinces an unsavory mien

upon objective appraisal of his merits, it becomes clear that the dude with a tawny exterior leaves much to be desired

apricot guy crappy

vermillion fellow appalling

orange man bad #politics

in tenor and tone, this short article speaks to me. It doesn't tell me anything i didnt already know, but it presents this information well. I found this post both eloquent and concise. But, now re-animated by purpose, i am hard-pressed for examples of art/artists already engaged in these struggles.

Glimpses of the crisis came through in the haunting stream of ambulances in empty New York City streets or images of overflowing morgues. Early measures aimed to flatten the curve, not eliminate the virus: 5/11

anyway here's Akira Kurosawa gazing lovingly at Toshiro Mifune on the set of Seven Samurai

Sweet dreams, epurrbody. 💤 Lub, 👑Drayko🐾

See a flower, share a flower

for all of you idiots they’re prepping for the one party state. A new Democratic-Republican Party where the neo-Rockefellers can pursue their Nixon 2.0 agenda, and the neoliberal Dems can continue the old GOP neocon foreign policy and domestic austerity politics. the Trump project is done

@botanical.bsky.social おはようございます。 今日も良い一日でありますように。

My yard has been visited by much Wildlife🪶🌱☘️ recently. Before dawn this morning, as watering was happening (Zone9B needs a lot💦) a Cooper's Hawk landed in the 🐦🛀, causing much consternation for this Mockingbird, who was still perched long after the Cooper's, a small-med. Hawk, finished, and exited.

Thomas DeQuincey recalls a period in his youth when he was homeless and the things he feels are immediately and poignantly recognizable to anyone who has survived this condition. Reading Confessions of an English Opium Eater affects me deeply. He was a real dude.
