SPEAK UP FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR.

a sign that says lick art materials (Blick, but missing its B)

Not the cadmium orange!

Was the intention ever salvation? Were the waves designed to lick guilted ego deliver raw human form underneath in all its imperfect reflection— —the water meant for washing dirt from the gilded fruit the tree bares till rind is all left behind, now flooding pore and sopping hair to rinse the person until person is all there is— or do you call your god Theseus? Do you forget the mechanisms that shape your soul and brace you from infinite indifference and that those themselves in their earthliness are holy? Do you cast off the body, in a careless shrug like a well-worn coat, left to decay in leathered age, forget the body that is your bread that is that which keeps you breathing?

Sick of people who claim to love me say learning my name after six years is “hard.”

Being in a long term relationship is so beautiful, you learn new things about your partner all the time like learning they slide to type on their phone

#bb27 can someone please edit the sad Naruto music over Keanu talking about Rachel????? “I don’t want to beat them, I wanted to beat you”—that’s an anime line if I’ve ever heard one.

It is never used to refer to violence normalized under capitalism, which includes police violence, people being evicted from their homes, people dying bc they are denied medical care or housing, people being shot by the police, or state-sanctioned genocide.

The vague term "political violence" is used specifically bc of its elasticity. It can be contorted to include a murder (despite the motive and perpetrator being unknown), property damage (committed for life-preserving reasons), or protesters using signs as shields when they are attacked by police.

Mild take:

The vilification of "virtue signalling" was a political project designed to make even the most subtle reminders of what decency is uncouth and it fucking worked.

VACCINES FOR ALL: Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to New Yorkers who request them, according to plans shared exclusively with Playbook. The Democrat’s executive order will mirror actions taken by other blue state governors this week to protect access to the latest Covid vaccine. The Food and Drug Administration has only granted limited approval of the jab for older adults and individuals considered to be high-risk. That’s prompted Democratic leaders to create their own vaccine guidance and explore ways they can legally protect access to the shot for everyone. “By signing this EO, Governor Hochul is making it clear that when Washington Republicans play politics with public health, New Yorkers will still be able to make their own health care decisions and get the care they need from trusted providers in their community,” Hochul spokesperson Kara Cumoletti said in a statement to POLITICO. This morning, POLITICO Pro reported that the Hochul administration is reviewing potential solutions to the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict vaccine access. However, a long-term fix may require legislative changes by lawmakers either through a special session, or when they return to the state Capitol in January. “This temporary order will ensure seamless access while the Governor works with the Legislature on a long-term solution to safeguard preventive care and vaccines,” Cumoletti added. — Katelyn Cordero

I took these with the Dubblefilm SHOW camera—people refer to it as toy grade, it’s a low cost point and shoot, but I’ve been getting really nice images. It’s been so good for learning my film basics.
Been shooting my DSLR for years on years so it feels fun to be brand new again.

Souvieners on a shelf, a candle, some mugs, a few books. Above them, a yellow pennant reading “Sorry, No boot, no scoot, no boogie.” In black with the “No”s in red.

A yard sign posted beside a tree on a brick path reads “Chingra la Migra. Community ICE Watch. We will yell at you. We will call you names. We will film you.” With a possum yelling at the ICE logo illustrated beside it.
