A photo of hands in dark gloves, holding a small electric candle with a warm yellow glow. In the background are wooden steps, and snow.

Little lights everywhere tonight for Alex Pretti and for so many who have suffered.

It matters to us - Americans are slow to mobilize, sure, but we're sick of this shit.

I gotta say, surviving eating dirt is not a big own for a kid. 😆 (Source: was kid)

Are your congresspeople Dems?
Harass them about taking ACTION.

I've put together a local ICE reporting business card based on this zine, also, for an even more compact backup reference.

These are fantastic! Have shared many - and the QR code.

Beautiful!

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

Handed out a lot of these at No Kings locally.

Thank you again for your good work!! ♥️♥️♥️

A full-color, letter-sized poster. The poster has a large capital-letter headline reading "How's your war going?" Beneath the headline is an image of a person who has been killed, with image date (Sep. 28 2025) and image source (Mosab Abu Toha) and caption ("The slaughtered body of a person lying in the street. Emergency services are currently unable to access the area to retrieve them.") Beneath the image are the words "They endured it. Now you'll see it," above a Palestinian flag. Below the flag is large text reading, "Time to end it."

"How's Your War / Time to End It" poster campaign underway, aimed at lawmakers and others with influence.

5 posters so far, with postcard versions also.

Got some cheap ink and good paper. Printing is a go.

Here's the first one.

#Gaza #FreePalestine

Large stencil-style block text, reading: "Stand up for your rights And your neighbors Stand up with your love And your rage Don’t give those pendejos the limelight Get up on the fucking stage"

A poem for while I work on posters.

"Stand up
for your rights
And your neighbors

Stand up
with your love
And your rage

Don’t give
those pendejos
the limelight

Get up
on the fucking stage"

Awesome! ♥️

Smaller, more efficient models are now common, able to run on a laptop or phone.

Even though they're essentially advanced predictive text, these can be very good for organizing or extracting data from small documents, for example. Lots of use cases.

The training-by-theft is shit, though.

😆 I do have a collect-'em-all attitude towards the vax!

I'll say hi to the local crows for you next time they stop by. :)

Updated with many more locations! Check out and share this excellent resource. ♥️

This is in my town. ♥️ I have been following these updates with great interest! It sounds like this goose is growing up happy and well.

I am writing this from the grave. Do not look for me. There is no body, only dust, and the smell of what once was bread. We spoke. Oh, how we spoke. With the tongues of children choking on smoke. With the tongues of old men whose homes turned to ash before their afternoon tea cooled. With the tongues of mothers who gave birth beside mass graves, and then laid their newborns inside them. We spoke with our blood, with our silence, with our madness. But the world did not hear. The world, my friend, is deaf to the human soul, unless that soul bleeds gold. They bombed us in the name of defense. They starved us in the name of security. They erased us with such calm, you would think it was an administrative procedure. And now, they speak of expanding the operations, of occupying Gaza fully, not as a tragedy, but as a plan. It is no longer war, it is appetite. And still we remained. Not because we are brave. Not because we are strong. But because there was nowhere left to go. I have seen a child dig through rubble with one hand, the other still clutching his sister’s decapitated doll. I have seen doctors use thread from their own clothes to stitch together lungs that were already drowning. I have seen men curse God. And I have seen God… say nothing. Forgive me. I do not write this in anger. I write it because I no longer know if I exist. Because my memories are louder than your missiles. Because my dead will not stop speaking. They ask me: “Did you tell them? Did you show them what they did to us?” And I say: “Yes. I told them. I screamed it.” And they say: “Then why are we still dead?” They do not want justice. They want the land. Let them take it. Let them build gardens atop our skulls. Let them pave our history into a road that leads to nowhere. Let them sleep beside the sea and call it peace. But let us go. Let the children go, with their bent spines and swollen bellies. Let the mothers go, with the milk still warm in their breasts for babies who no longer…

I would absolutely read this. It sounds very cozy and I would still learn about the beetles you had hoped to find but did not. :)

In the dim green of an evening garden, a white cabbage butterfly rests, wings folded, amongst large leaves. It is hidden and safe for now.

A cabbage butterfly resting in the garden last evening.

It's a good day to rest and enjoy time with friends and family; and if you cannot, another day will do as well.

There is time to process and work against the effects of HR1. There is good work being done already.

We will continue, friends.

A shrimp with comically huge eyes had a bandana over her face and has spray painted “a beginners guide to street art” on the wall and “June 24th 8pm eastern online” on the pavement

Tuesday night I’m running another Beginnger’s Guide to Street Art session.

Every time I run it I’m like well maybe things will get better but unfortunately they just keep getting worse. Let’s throw more street art at it.

It’s free and online, so come

Right on!! My home state! ♥️

So the suspected republican assassin in the murder of a state legislator here in Minnesota and the attempted murder of another ran his own private security firm, and multiple members of his family were police.
Someday people will accept that what those of us on the academic side are saying is true

Know Your Rights, Share Your Rights

The ACLU has some nice summaries of protest rights, including a graphic for phone lockscreens:

It’s fucking infuriating that the authoritarian regime has troops in the streets and all you hear in coverage is concern about “anarchists and extremists.”

The fascists are fucking extreme.

Corporate media is a curse on this society.
