The correct analogy is in Alice: "Why, the fact is, you see, Miss, this here ought to have been a red rose-tree, and we put a white one in by mistake; and, if the Queen was to find it out, we should all have our heads cut off, you know. So you see, Miss, we're doing our best, afore she comes, to—"

If you're getting a bit too worn down by the world, I cannot encourage enough having a ten minute conversation with a seven year old about their special interest.

Méndez-Ortiz centers the Black woman in her homage to Gordon Parks's famous 1956 photograph. Mendez-Ortiz kept the central figures of this iconic image and dramatically altered the setting by collaging found photographs from magazines, personal archives. Parks Entrance, 2023 Chandra Méndez-Ortiz

And this is why I am always going off about people needing to stop thinking of Canada as "benign" peacekeeper or an "unwilling" imperialist partner. Former DHS head Kristi Noem has just been hired by BC mining company, NovaRed Mining headquartered in Vancouver. globalnews.ca/news/1190912...

We dont always have to go back 100 years to talk about these. We can go back only a few. And the killer didnt die in 1931. or, he aint 97 years old from Jom Crow America. Dylann Roof is only 32. Charleston was 11 years ago today

I get the impulse for autistic people to want to respond by saying that they DID go to college or play baseball or date and work. But that still plays into ableist narratives. Even if an #ActuallyAutistic person does none of these, they still have worth.

Bonhoeffer tried to assassinate... Hitler. It's so telling that when a GOP stooge is looking for the name of a bad political assassin... he doesn't name Wilkes-Booth or Oswald or Sirhan Sirhan. He names a hero who tried to snuff out Hitler. He knows, in his fucking BONES, who Trump is.

A year ago, Detroit Metro journalist, Steve Neavling, wrote about the decades-long search for September Jones. Her relatives saw the story, and now the long-lost soul singer from Detroit has been found and is collecting royalties. She had no idea how popular her music still was in the U.K.

There are many ways to improve your life: - read books - be kind - read more books - rest - read so many books that an ancient power of undying fire ignites deep in your eyes - hydrate - read more books

New York designer Edwing D’Angelo recently presented a dazzling pop-up evening fashion collection at the Learning & Education (LES) 10th Anniversary Celebration Block Party on West 131st Street (off Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.).

When they talk about the alleged violence and disorder of resistance, people have to keep highlighting federal violence. That is the real story, and it's the primary reason any of this is happening.

We reached out to all of the major UFC White House advertisers--Meta, Dodge, Budweiser and more--to ask if they had a reaction to the vile attack on Michelle Obama or if it aligned with their company's values. All of them were silent. The story in @status.news: www.status.news/p/ufc-white-...

every time I say this, someone didn't know: you can get the NYRB, the New Yorker, the LRB, Paris Review, The Spectator (weirdly not New Statesman), The Week, both French & Italian Vogue & New Scientist among many many other magazines FREE via the Libby app from your local library?

If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

"The woman … had gotten off the MV Hondius and then flown to San Francisco before traveling to the isolated British territory of Pitcairn Island through Tahiti. Attempts to send her back to Tahiti were rejected because she had not disclosed her exposure when she visited on her way to Pitcairn."

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

"this is the #1 lesson that I learned as a young organizer. Importantly, the labor is also invisible because there are so many people spread out across the world taking action that it is impossible for us as individuals to perceive the scope and breadth of action." - @prisonculture.bsky.social

I want to expand on this. 1/ It's also historically racist, since Black women have been masculinized since we were brought here. It helped justify expecting us to do "men's" labor and for us not to be seen as feminine, or otherwise be treated as women. scribe.usc.edu/the-masculiz...

Hug your Black children, man. Reassure them everyday how valuable they are and why.

My gawd, the parallels. It's a strange feeling to want to both laugh and gad at the same time.

John Waters movies are proudly, defiantly vulgar and tacky, and I love them. Veep? Vulgar genius. Black velvet paintings? Splendidly tacky, also fun & not-fascist. Terms for UFC @ WH? sadistic, brutal, corrupt, hateful, misogynist, monarchist, grotesque, cynical, nihilistic, anti-democratic.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

Gladstone: You may think, “How did we get here?” For the First Peoples of this land, unfortunately, this has been ongoing since the birth of this country as we know it today. So perhaps the question then is not, “How did we get here?” It’s, “How are we still here?”

Wondering how our Keepers became elephant guardians? It's not anything one would find on a resume. We include the orphans in our recruitment process. New candidates join the orphan herd on a trial basis, and if they are embraced by the elephants, they are hired. Keeper Jackson passed years ago.
