I strongly believe that you need to qualify your doomerism with active solutions that you believe will help, otherwise you are simply adding to despair which depresses liberation movements.
Ah geez. So sorry to see this about Catherine O'Hara. What a comedic genius.

Seeing so many pastors and bishops who once told me that it was wrong to preach on faith and politics now speaking boldly against ICE fills me with gratitude.
...and makes me wonder if their denominations would be declining had they been so clear and forceful all along...
Glad for the shift now.
Weather map for the upcoming winter storm. It ain't good, folks.
New pride flag dropped.
By the way, this is why I get furious when people demand more of women artists who are already politically active than the men they have proudly handed prizes to and named as the “voices of their generation.” Far too many men in the arts play it safe but get all the accolades for that safety.
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place
The university is still considering plans for how to memorialize the students during the spring semester. In the meantime, most classes, exams, and final papers have been canceled.
My son, overhearing me listening to a press conference about this: "What?! This doesn't end at college?" 💔
My heart is with the Brown U community.

Lest we forget that Brazil, the host of #COP30, is also an oil-producing nation...
Shame on them for approving drilling at the Foz do Amazonas!

Pope Leo XIV canonized Venezuela's beloved "doctor of the poor" Sunday, Oct. 19, before tens of thousands of people, offering the South American nation one of its first saints and a reason to celebrate amid a yearslong economic crisis and new tensions with the United States.

That sounds like a lot of power. I hope we’re doing useful things with ChatGPT. 🙃
Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.
Tumblr post from every-lemon Sep 8 so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff. they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed. I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."
Follow up tumblr post every-lemon Sep 9 it was a smash hit. a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud. he was home by 6:30am.
dudes rock
Big Oil has no problem funding people who say the Civil Rights Act was "huge mistake” or that Ketanji Brown Jackson was "a diversity hire" or that trans people are responsible for inflation.
As long as “climate change is fake” is part of it, they don’t care about the rest.

257.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
Today is the National Day of Remembrance for boarding schools in the United States. Not sure what boarding schools are? You are not alone. Only 4 states include the history boarding schools in their curriculum.
