I’d like to see more about young progressive women and men, including non-straight and non-white, maybe a few of the hundreds who do community work in economically hard times, and why they aren’t towering with resentment about themselves. And leave out former political staffers, please.

How Klee’s ‘angel of history’ took flight Klee’s famous angel appears tossed by the rough winds of history – and the drawing itself has been blown about the world by tragic events. Jason Farago tells the story of an icon.

"The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise... The storm propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress."
- Walter Benjamin

A crow's math skills include geometry Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Black Holes May Be ‘Supermazes’ of Many-Dimensional Strings Physicists think the insides of black holes may be complex mazes of tangled strings in higher dimensions

I too am a maze of many-dimensional strings.

A two-panel infographic compares strategic voting with proportional representation. The left panel, titled "Strategic Voting," has a winding, confusing path of yellow boxes with the following steps: “I like this party,” “What if they can’t win?” “Should I vote for another party?” and “Don’t get the result I wanted anyway.” The right panel, titled "Proportional Representation," shows a simple vertical path: “I like this party,” “Vote for this party,” and “Get the representation I voted for.” Below, bold text reads: “Strategic voting is a guessing game. PR makes every vote count – no second guessing needed.” A yellow box in the bottom right corner says: “Learn more at fairvote.ca.”

Democracy shouldn't be a guessing game.

Vote for who you believe in—and get the representation you deserve.

Demand proportional representation!

Books Featured: A Taste of Gold & Iron - Alexandra Rowland Hammajang Luck - Makana Yamamoto Celestial Monsters - Aiden Thomas

I’m participating in the TRR! Our Trans & NB friends need support more now than ever and this is JUST the beginning. So this week, read trans books, donate money to trans supporting orgs, & show our trans communities that we WILL NOT stand by while our gov tries to erase their identities. #booksky

But money and capitalism are not actually the same thing, and in the system we have right now, people who aren't paid for their work generally cannot keep doing their work.

Making sure creators get paid is how we make sure *making* art is accessible to everyone.

THIS IS HUGE! An HIV PrEP drug candidate in the form of a ONCE-yearly intramuscular injection has been shown to BLOCK HIV infections AND participants achieved AND maintained protection ABOVE the 95% efficacy threshold for UP TO 56 WEEKS. Phase III trials are scheduled for later this year! 🧪🧵⬇️

Bogeymen and Trojan Horses How to identify and call out Trump and Musk’s fascist tactics

At the end of the day, Trump and Musk's fascist tactics can be broken into two categories: bogeymen and Trojan horses. Learn how to recognize them so we can fight back against them at The Big Picture.

They can not replace us and they cannot make live in fear - but they are trying to remove writers and thinkers’ livelihoods so we believe there are no options but them. We know better. If they wanted to learn from us they would learn: love & human expression can’t be owned, just held, by the lovers.

91 results. That's every book I've published since 1993, in multiple languages, scraped without permission to train AI. They're robbing us in hopes of replacing us.

"We can train ourselves to respect our feelings and to transpose them into a language so they can be shared.

And where that language does not yet exist, it is our poetry which helps to fashion it.
Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives.."
- Audre Lorde

Right?
