"Deep in Admiration" was a talk given at the conference Anthropocene: Arts of Living on a Dangerous Planet at UC Santa Cruz in May 2014. The text appears as the foreword to the collection Late in the Day: Poems 2010-2014 (published by PM Press).

BDS calls for consumer [note: consumer, not artist] boycott of Spotify until the company meets demands to adopt an intersectional ethical programming, advertising, sponsorship, and partnership policy, and end all business with Partner Communications.

The oil and plastic industries have continually lied, created a demand for plastic, and shifted the blame of the climate crisis to consumers – all for profit, says author Beth Gardiner in an interview with the Guardian.

RIP Éliane Radigue  Source: Wikipedia. Éliane Radigue was a French composer. She began working in the 1950s and her first compositions were presented in the late 1960s. Until 2000 her work was almost exclusively created with the ARP 2500 modular synthesizer and tape. Since 2001 she has composed…

As part of its secret “autopsy” report on how Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump, the DNC now seems to concede that the Biden administration’s support for Israel amid its continued genocide against Palestinians in Gaza played a large role in her losing votes.

In 1993, Octavia E. Butler wrote a defense of public libraries. “Public libraries in particular are the open universities of America. They're free; they're accessible to everyone… I'm a writer at least partly because I had access to public libraries.“

Maher: So being Christian is an important part of being truly American? Boebert: Absolutely Talarico: I always speak up on behalf of my non-Christian neighbors. Because we as Christians are called to love them as ourselves, and forcing my religion down their throats is not love.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks. "So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: City Council, we demand half a percent of the overall city budget for libraries! (as promised by @mayor.nyc.gov Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧 The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement. May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

The @nytimes.com is worse than trash. It is treasonous. It is one of the main reasons Donald Trump was able to steal the 2016 election and begin his destruction of American democracy. The sooner the NY Times goes under, the better for America.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

Spanish is not a foreign language.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

i would not recommend reading trump’s unhinged post because all he knows how to do is diminish joy, and bad bunny just created so much of it.

Trickle up economics

Public libraries are essential for many reasons. One of the simplest and most subtly important is modeling a transactional system that is almost completely outside of capitalism. Without such models it can be hard to see how the rest of our world operates, because of its ubiquity and pervasiveness.

Este jueves 22 de enero en matik-matik Bogotá presento nuevamente a "lxs Beta 9", un noneto de música original fresca, jugando al balance entre las historias y los colores de la música escrita, la espontaneidad de la improvisación, y el rítmo y sabor colectivo con un combo de músicos de lujo.

Beyond pathetic. Both of them. Especially now with all the abuse of ICE in the US and particularly the way they are treating the people of Venezuela in the US.

Make it viral.

Today, each of us needs to ask: are we on the side of Renee Nicole Good, or the masked gestapo agent who killed her because she dared to stand up for what's right? Thank you, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Less than 11 months until midterm elections. Enjoy your festivities and then time for Americans to start making sure that these midterms are not only won, but are won with such overwhelming numbers that any attempt by Elon and friends to steal the result is drowned in the flood.

Seriously. If you see someone working extra hard to convince you to go back to X, block that turd. It's not a genuine entreaty... it's not earnest, it's a desperate business move.

These villains that we have today such as elton mollusk and jeff amazon kizes are so boring, they are not even original.
