I knew eventually someone would post this.

This, I think, will be my approach for today. And tomorrow. And (hopefully) (at least) the week to come.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

“Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

[Exit King.]

I find a lot of people have a lot of internalized shame about not fitting perfectly into clothes. It is absolutely not about you, your body, your shape. It’s that somebody somewhere set a standard that is the same as nobody else’s standards.

Sir Ian McKellen to open historic all-trans and nonbinary production of Twelfth Night Director Phoebe Kemp said: "Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us"

Palestiinalaisten vaatimus valtiosta Israelin 1967 laittomasti miehittämässä Itä-Jerusalemissa, Länsirannalla ja Gazan kaistalla on siis selkeä ja nauttii sekä kv-oikeuden että kv-yhteisön vahvaa tukea.

Siksi 147 valtiota YK:n 193 jäsenvaltiosta on jo tunnustanut sen.

Historia tulee muistamaan Euroopan poliittiset johtajat niinä jotka käänsivät katseensa ja sallivat kansanmurhan. Ja meidät muut niinä jotka antoi poliitikkojen toimia niin. Olemme oman aikamme Natsit ja peesaajat.

Hieno perintö 👌

Why did we become convinced that the answer was always “disruption”, when experience tells us that the achievement of civilisation is the opposite? The move from chaos to organisation. The move from vulnerability to stability.

Move carefully and fix things.

Ah yes, May the 4th, the day where every lapsed Catholic in the country goes “wait what do you mean they don’t say “and also with you” anymore????

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

The interior of the Finnish National Theatre; a red curtain and a gilded proscenium arch

Kaarlo Bergbomin kootut kärsimykset Kansallisteatterissa tänään. Aivan jees ja tärkeän ajankohtainen puheenvuoro teatterin ja kulttuurin puolesta - en vois olla enemmän samaa mieltä. Vielä jos joskus musaan satsattaisiin vähän enemmän 🥲 (pisteet Wolframista mut se muu perustuuba...)

A stage in the British Library, with a screen projection announcing the SOA Translation Prizes.

Translation is an art.
Translation is creation.
Translators matter.
Translators deserve to be celebrated.

Jag är jättenöjd att jag plockade upp den här boken. Varmt rekommenderad: skrivet med en stor ömhet men också ett skarpt öga för ämnet. ✨ Just finished this book and liked it very much; do recommend!

EUROPOPE

PAPALVISION

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are out and about, and Blue is about to ask something as his voice is drowned out by approaching, extremely loud engine noises. Blue, drowned out by the noise: What was it that you wanted fro- Giving up mid-sentence, Blue turns to look behind his shoulder, as both of the foxes peer behind themselves to see the source of the noise. Both of the foxes watch in amazed silence as a comically small fox drives past them on a comically small motorcycle, which continues to make a deafeningly loud roar and clamour as it slides past them, not moving very fast.

RIP Pope Francis who died this morning in Rome.

“Situations can change; people can change. Be the first to seek to bring good. Do not grow accustomed to evil, but defeat it with good.”

“Indifference is dangerous, whether innocent or not.”
