I need a #classics major to send me nerdy journal articles telling me about the earliest writings about #sirens and what their deal was and how everyone who thinks they know what they are is wrong

As you scroll through memes honoring MLK, today is a good day to remember that a lot of leaders believe that the only appropriate place to hold a protest is in the past. Hat tip to @derringerpax.bsky.social, who made my quote into a woodcut in 2024.

Something I’ve been trying to tell people in my life is there is no safe or right way to exist safely under {fascism|authoritarianism|whatever}. There is no logical course of action you can follow that will prevent you from being targeted, intentionally or by chance, which history shows repeatedly.

@margaret.bsky.social this sounds like a book you would write

Whenever we want to prevent a war, we need to have an HBO-level period drama about a relatable-looking person from the US visiting and then falling in love with some beautiful person from whatever country our military industrialists are trying to get us to attack

Love this! Such a great way to direct energy

"We're in a very dark place right now, but through our actions the light will return" - @margaret.bsky.social I was going off instinct when I designed this #linocut but the moment I heard this phrase, the full meaning of the piece was clear. We keep going, even when the light is gone 1/

#procreate #sketch for a #linocut inspired by @ryancagle.com quote #wip 🖌️🎨 #art

"never institutionalize violence... always leave people the option to cease being our enemies... of throwing down their spears... We must remember that the ring of power goes into the volcano... always remember that." quote by @margaret.bsky.social is reminding me of this linocut I need to finish..

"without fear or favor" could make a good #linocut

Test print with better #paint and more fur texture carving but reversed colors But now I'm wondering if I should try a similar design but with a #raccoon Also considering a cat with a pirate eye patch and a cat with a third eye #cat #art

My answer, which I'm told I should share was: Love is calm and deep like cenotes, holding more than we can map or understand, it is unapologetic and unbiased, it is the thread that connects us all to each other in our environments, it is the anonymous donation,

@margaret.bsky.social uhh how common is it to see bird skulled guys in fancy coats and ascots bc...

Sometimes self care is making a giant cheesy potato gratin and eating the entire thing yourself.

One reason your company is paying you so little even though you're in a "good" job is instead of the gov covering your medical care coverage (like in Japan), it comes out of the budget for your total compensation (then you also need to pay another cut on top of that for your part)

“We need an injection of writers that are doing it for the bigger picture, the bigger goal… of building a movement.” —Boots Riley, interviewed by @annaleen.bsky.social www.thebeliever.net/an-interview...

This! I'm literally setting up a company now that will be for profit with a non profit heart and partner. We need different business structures with a focus on HUMANS to support internal equity & growth in an otherwise inequitable capitalist society.

If you're an office worker who has been working from home just fine but you're being forced to go back to the office- Get radicalized. The cost of renting BOTH of those spaces comes out of your pay. Every dollar they spend on a building is a dollar that could be going to your cost of living increase

Ok it's really remarkable that we went from a 2018 supreme court ruling that actually gambling is fine as long as you pretend that's not what you're doing and now we're in the Everything's A Casino era www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Now. More. Than. Ever. We won tonight and we can and must turn that into winning again and again. Fuck those assholes. They *will* break upon us.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

This is the energy I'm bringing into the rest of the year lfg

THEY DO NOT BREAK US THEY BREAK UPON US

Happy #NYC Soft Secession Day to all who celebrate! 🎉✨
