Went to the library this afternoon in [redacted] nearby suburb. Tables of kids doing homework, a jigsaw puzzle 🧩 going on, refugees practising their English with volunteers plus many many well curated book displays.

Cathedrals of the Anthropocene, where knowledge is exchanged, evaluated, shared.

The cookbook sitting cover up on a dark wooden kitchen counter. Behind the camera, Kate is feeling betrayed. There is an array of emotional support fruit on the counter: plantains, pomegranate, and a pear.

So I bought the Le Creuset mini-cocotte cooking book

And I regret to inform you that some of the recipes are literally like:

1. Recipe for soup made in entirely other dishes.

2. Put soup in mini-cocotte. Serve.

like what the fuck man, I want the full hobbit mini baking experience

Being a young mum had its challenges, but spending time with my adult daughter now is the best reward. Our bond has evolved into the most amazing friendship, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. 💕

Here we go again: some folks in the US will invent reasons for repeated mass shootings, when the answer is obvious to all.

Apparently there’s an influx of far right nazi arseholes.

Remember the rules.

Do not engage.
Do not quote post to dunk.
Block early, block often.

Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY: "1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Police are not primarily crime fighters, according to the data | Reuters A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in co...

"Research show[s] that U.S. police spend much of their time conducting racially biased stops & searches of minority drivers, often w/o reasonable suspicion, rather than “fighting crime.”..The NYT reviewed national dispatch data & found that just 4% of officers’ time is devoted to violent crime."

A friend just asked if we would take rapid covid tests before coming over to visit. So we did. And it was easy and everyone was happy.

That's it, that's the public health.

Black and white photo in which a black cat looms large in the foreground and seems to be walking directly behind a much smaller man in the middleground.

When I talk to comic book artists I always emphasize the importance of clearly separating their planes of depth. This rule is only for comics and does not apply to Turkish photographer Sami Uçan.

I also like the shorter version I learned in Germany: “if you’ve got one nazi at a table, and nine guys sit down & talk with him… well, you’ve got ten nazis at a table.”

We spend a lot of time telling kids that they can be whoever they want to be, but I think it might be more important to tell them that they can be who they are

If you think that requiring people to link their real names/identities to their online posts is a good idea that will make people more civil, I'm begging you to please read the 15+ years of work showing that it doesn't work and it endangers vulnerable people.

One of the goals of modern authoritarianism and modern propaganda is to wear out those who might otherwise have raised alarms about the actions of the government. Researchers, journalists, pundits and thinkers are the target and the goal is information overload and burnout.

If this place is unappealing to conservatives, it will be a much safer place for the rest of us.
