Happy new year with some #Gramsci: ”That’s why I hate New Year’s. I want every morning to be a new year’s for me. Every day I want to reckon with myself, and every day I want to renew myself.”

the gorgeous city of Bari, Puglia, might feel a bit unseen
The UN General Assembly resolution against torture was rejected by only three countries: the US, Israel, and Argentina, who remind the world that they oppose even the most basic principles of humanity.
Thinking about how the Israeli gov intervened to get Omri Boehm, Israeli-born philosopher and grandson of Holocaust survivors, banned from speaking at the 80th anniversary ceremony of the liberation of Buchenwald this year, because he planned to say that "Never again" is about more than just Jews.
We should never forget that this synagogue was targeted specifically because of their work with HIAS on refugee rights. Seven years later, we should honor their legacy by fighting antisemitism, but also by continuing to do the work of supporting refugee resettlement and migrant rights.
Hi! Do you know about unaparolaalgiorno.it? There is podcast, e-mail, and more. I find them absolutely adorable and great for practicing.
I sat down to write a solicited piece for @thenation.com today on the significance of events at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social as part of authoritarian governance. Then I read this. It is so much better than what I could have written. Read it. Thank you Marianne Hirsch. forward.com/opinion/7035...
Graber’s shirt — which directly copies the style of a shirt that Zuckerberg wore onstage recently — says Mundus sine caesaribus. Or, “a world without Caesars.”
Make no mistake: ‘No Other Land’ is a victory for the Palestinian struggle
While some have accused the Oscar-winning film of normalization, leaders and activists in Masafer Yatta are unwavering in their support for joint resistance.

Reminded this evening- I was at a department store looking for a bra and this 60 ish year old guy came up to me. I braced in dread, but really softly he asked, “Can I ask you for some help? My wife just had a mastectomy and I want to get her something that will make her feel pretty but is soft.”

Ah thank you for sweet words! I am just truly grateful for all good forces that stay in America and try in different ways to spread something good. I am truly sorry though for what is going on. Wish you a wonderful Wednesday, however it unfolds💕
Ok I am just this stranger, who you give a lot of inspiration, but watching your country from abroad in these dark times, I see a lot of beauty, wisdom and kindness. And that’s giving hope. And you are definitely big part of that and will always be. 🙏 gratitude to your kind heart.

On the other hand, I'm 100% against paywalls in scientific research journals. Research is almost entirely publicly funded, and scientists do all the work (have ideas, get money, research, write, review). Plus, we pay publication charges. All scientific journal articles should be open access.
What is going on??? Who is having these arguments? What rules could people possibly be worried about violating here, who is enforcing them, how and why? You can... you can just do things? You don't need the internet's permission to do them or not, to approve of things or not!
After Trump was elected, I started to wonder what could the grassroots, cities, and states do to move the needle on climate change without federal support. It turns out, a lot (gift link)
It's world philosophy day, so post your favorite thing about philosophy.
Mine is that philosophy has never had disciplinary boundaries. Every other field has always been within our purview. Anyone who tells you different has to ignore millennia of examples.
