Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: β€œTwo vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
β€˜My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

"Listen, folks, all animals are equal, okay? But let me tell you, some of themβ€”the best ones, the smartest onesβ€”they're more equal than the others. Believe me, nobody knows more about equality than I do."

LRS: the reason you’re seeing so many authors have big feelings about Amazon today is that royalties just posted.

If you stop buying indie books from Amazon, if you don’t make an effort to buy them elsewhere, we get stuck in this fun vortex where we don’t get to write new books.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:

Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

I'm calling it, Bluesky #knitters! It's "selfish knitting month" and time to pull out that UFO that you started for yourself and finish it! I'm making a cowl that's been on the needles for months and needed a full frog and re-casting on. For ME. #selfishknittingKAL #YearOfTheUFO 🧢

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Seen on my news and academic feeds today:

"This is highly illegal!"
"Where are the courts?"
"Someone needs to arrest him/them!"
"The military needs to oust them!"
"WHERE ARE THE DEMS?"

This is the denial stage of grief. None of the above institutions are coming to save us.

We are all we've got.

Hmmmm, Hickenlooper voted for this? Well, now I know why it was so hard to leave messages with him about EVERYTHING else that is happening. So disappointed in my senator right now.

I pray for the desperate world.

I do the little each person can do, it isn't much.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com.

Among the data being scrubbed is β€œthe agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…”

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

When you’re in a relationship with a malignant narcissistβ€”as we all are now with Trumpβ€”it’s important to stay out of emotionally reactive mode and instead to observe and act with detachment.

Emotional reactivity draws you into their defensive structure, and you can take in their toxic projections.
