The historical cognate for what is happening in the United States right now is the period known as the Redemption. And the restoration of Confederate iconography, just like when they were originally installed, is to signal to the nation the return of white power.

Yeah, same. I generally hold it all together (maybe not the healthiest option) no matter what, but the darndest things will make me tear up. Given the state of things, I guess my emotions are like "we've gotta come out some kinda way ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ" lol.

31.07.2025 23:32 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 6 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that Iโve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if youโre not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and itโs just this drive that has always been there. Itโll always be there. And I think itโs preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time toโฆwhat, email? I donโt know what they think Iโm going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, itโs just pointless. I think thereโs a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they donโt have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.

One of the moms I interviewed for Holding It Together is a school bus driver. She's her family's primary earner (<$25K/yr), and she doesn't have access to paid leave, so she had to go back to driving while still bleeding after childbirth.
