The left needs to get off the internet. That’s my takeaway. We need to get out and build community again. The internet can no longer save us.

how incredibly appropriate to bawl my eyes out for an hour and a half at Golijov’s “Ainadamar” about the death of Lorca at the hands of fascists and to walk outside to massive crowds for a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. then to finally sit down on the train and see this

A new book explores how 18th-century pirates tried to sabotage the growth of the slave trade They sowed havoc among human traffickers from Europe, burning and exploding their ships and ports

There is just no getting around this bit from the latest Chotiner interview. Doctors Without Borders has never seen this before: the number of civilian casualties, the inescapability of death, the fact that everyone knows what is happening BUT IT DOESN'T STOP.

why yes i do sit in my kitchen and listen to kraftwerk while throwing this dog treats to get it to stay on this bed, thank you
