And so to prove capitalism works, we've made every human interaction a subscription service. Unfortunately, if you can't afford it, you're just going to have to die alone in the alley. Should have worked harder 🤷‍♀️

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Beaver throwing hints: there is no I in tree.

Seems a reminder is needed: The bottom line for corporations is money. The bottom line for all life on earth is health.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

☁️ Sea of Melancholy ☁️ An illustration that might allow me to explore a new project. I don't know if it will last 1 month, 1 year or years. But I want to listen to the songs of these faded and forgotten worlds. ✶♡✶ #art #surrealism

To Whom It May Concern: For every "apolitical" guy sharing a silly joke online, there's a woman being denied life-saving healthcare.

2025 is the year of the wooden snake: Holy anger channeled constructively toward the goal. Too rigid, we break. Too unfocused, we fall. Rebirth, growth, and change. Flexible and engaged. Assertive, strategic, our gaze fixed on the people and actions that affect our life.

The only the more terrifying than a fascist dictator is a nation that thinks they're watching a reality show/football game.

Over 400 days of thee fair media screaming "anti-semitism"; where are they now?

To the worms talking smack about tiktok, if you'd been there you'd understand why they want to control it.

For now, forever. youtu.be/QH3Fx41Jpl4?...

Lots to do in a crisis, but remember the first and most important: Yell "Told you so!" at the sky.

Thoroughly confused by 2 parallel, coexisting narratives: the election was bought and it's all the fault of voters.

War, incarceration, illness, debt, homelessness, and hunger can't be solved by a system that capitalizes off of those same conditions.

Love watching us shit-post ourselves to a better world.

“Never got around to trying TikTok” he posted over the course of 3 days using a rotary-dial princess phone.

It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.

#OtD 20 Jan 1934 Nazi Germany introduced a law designating capitalists as "fuhrers" of their enterprise and requiring "employees and labourers [to] owe him faithfulness". Along with other measures it helped funnel income from workers to big business. stories.workingclasshistory.c...

Heroes don't exist in a society that requires injustice to exist. Cops show up after the murder, doctors treat the symptoms, but aren't trained to prevent the illness, and priests, at best, feed the hungry but do nothing to challenge the system that causes it.
