Embroidery with significant symbols and motifs in reds and green on a cream background

Palestinian tatreez is a deeply rooted, intricate form of traditional hand embroidery and cross-stitch (falahi) that refrences identity and heritage #WomensArt

it's incredible to contemplate the volume of civic funding and effort spent appeasing:
- people who find the sight of poverty more offensive than evidence-based public health policy
- drivers who think bad traffic is a human rights violation
- residents who recoil from shadows like reverse-vampires

Done!

Blue faience hippo statuette with black line drawings of lotus flowers and buds on stalks painted on its surface (including its face). In a way, it's like seeing the hippo through the marsh plants of its environment.

This #Egyptian faience hippo statuette is painted with lotus flowers and buds, found in its marshy environment. The lotus flowers - closing every night and reopening again in the morning - also represented regeneration and rebirth. 🏺 1/ @alisonfisk.bsky.social

There is a reason that building the future must begin with centring the safety and needs of racialized trans and queer people. They are are most vulnerable relatives, and the violence inflicted on them will always expand and swallow us all.

The renegotiation of our agreement with Eby’s NDP was a litmus test on their touted pro-worker values. They failed. The BC Greens are the party to take on the 1% and fight for working people. Thread on our CARGA proposal for year two — that the NDP unilaterally vetoed /1 🧵#bcpoli

SECOND CLASS ANGEL there’s a part of heaven reserved for my kind. the sun don’t grow there. the money don’t shine it’s not about wings altho chicken today feathers tomorrow might be called a way of being periodically there’s a breakthru: one of us gets over polishing halos evidentially status has endless ramifications like an infinite pecking order which suggests the light one moves toward ascending in death is merely the non-reflective neon of God’s corporate boardroom

Imagine how we could confront our consumerist mindset if we could all share. A dozen power drills for the community instead of one in every home collecting dust 95% of the year

A grassroots network of mutual aid volunteers called Safe Haven has been doing nearly round-the-clock jail support for everyone released from detainment at Whipple, the federal building ICE operates from.

They provide medics, rides, food, clothes, phones—anything people need after being released.

Exactly! USians also cannot take their eye off the ball. This IS policing in general. So, if you allow anyone to be subjected to policing you allow YOU and everyone else to be subjected to policing.

It's so funny to hear people still chastising us about defund bc they won't connect the dots.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading.

This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment.

I think if everything is just going to be this bad all the time they should let us smoke inside the airport again

trump released the names of people who will "govern" and "rebuild" Gaza. White people in western liberal democracies, the same ones supporting israel, a white settler colonial apartheid ethnostate on its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, get to decide who governs Gaza.

This photo is stunning: snowy landscape, a thin crescent Moon glowing with an orange halo, and two bright dots nearby – Jupiter shining strong, Saturn fainter. Twilight sky in soft purple and pink tones, feels almost unreal, pure magic. They call it a “triple conjunction” because from down here on Earth the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn look super close together… even though out in space they’re ridiculously far apart!

This nice pic from Alireza Vafa shows a triple conjunction of Moon, Jupiter & Saturn, captured through clouds in the wintry twilight, over the Alborz Mountains in Iran after sunset on Dec 17, 2020. 🔭
