David Graeber wrote of structural violence as control through the threat of violence, as with public space and policing.

This is also structural violence, but the fascist state benefits from using a radicalized base as its threat mechanism. We are being squeezed at both ends.

I just finished your first book and have this one on pre-order. Thank you for modeling hope in action for us. ✨

Are you taking money from AIPAC? Because if so, absolutely not. How shameful. I’ll be voting for Abdul.

small town gossip and lore

popular opinion (among the vast majority of living things): we should let it all grow over

Both of you give me a lot of hope, thank you for modeling solidarity and integrity. Now primary Shumer!

I’ve got good knife skills and a fast kitchen flow but there is no prep whatsoever, occasional disasters and I make a chaotic mess. My meals are pretty good and ingredients always changing. Mars in Aries in the 1st. 🥰

My Virgo rising love has taken to cleaning as I cook, hahaha.

I am so disappointed in you and your office for enabling this fascist administration through your actions against Michigan protestors this week. This is not justice, this is you doing exactly what Trump is doing. Shame on you.

My old friend’s ranch borders that compound in eldorado, we spent many a night out there wondering what was going on in that temple. I’m glad y’all were there for those kids.

And glad Angelo treated you well, it’s got some charm for sure.

As someone born and raised in San Angelo……this is accurate.

I recently realized Saturn is stationing (to the exact minute) on my Ascendant in July, and this is such a helpful way to approach this transit, thank you.

Just dawned on me that Uranus stationed direct (to the minute) on my Chiron 2h today and I just left my first ever personal training session.

I’d been dreading the search and then a new friend came into my life and we traded for a mother-daughter new years reading. Astrology is amazing.✨ #astrosky

Ohh please unpack fascist cop menswear for us sometime, Derek. I learn so much from you!

Medicaid is the only way many people can get treatment for substance use disorder, and many of the most vulnerable ones see it lapse during periods of homelessness, incarceration, etc. I see at least one client in this position every week.

For fucking shame, you hideous billionaires.

Dr. Phil, embedded with ICE, films raids in Chicago Phil McGraw, the television host known as "Dr. Phil," embedded with ICE agents in Chicago to film raids as Trump ramps up deportations.

i know we are past the point of absurdity in this country but still, what the fuck

We are all we really have

Two tarot cards from the spolia tarot deck. The Devil shows a solid black background with a white line drawing of a demon eating a child. The Ten of Swords shows a figure lying on their front with ten swords in the back of their body. Does the devil need more explanation today, of all days? Swords are air, which represents the mental realm, communication, ideas, and information. This card can reflect information overload, to the point of exhaustive and oppressive ends. Next to the cards are a small vertebrate and some dried flowers.

A single tarot card, the nine of cups, with flowers. The card is collaged with colorful images including a hot pink naked lady. on her tiptoes with her back to the viewer and her arms raised. She is poised on the rim of a cup, surrounded by flowers, books, art, and treats. Cups are water in the tarot, the realm of imagination, emotion, and the subconscious. This card can be associated with indulgence. I also associate it with confidence and experience in the realm of cups. The gift of knowing what pleasures fill you particular cups, and perhaps even how to magnetize more of them to you. On this day, a beautiful reminder to tend to your feelings and dreams.

A screenshot of an astrological chart for Jan 20, 2025 at 12:00pm EST in Washington, D.C. The Sun (0 Aquarius) is conjunct Pluto (1 Aquarius) at the chart's most public point, the Midheaven. These points oppose Mars (Rx 24 Cancer) at the IC, the root, or foundation, of the chart. The chart is Taurus rising (14) with Uranus in the first house (23 Taurus). Saturn (16 Pisces) sits almost directly on top of Venus (17 Pisces). The moon (18 Libra) opposes Chiron (19 Aries).

a reminder to take care of yourselves, your media intake, and don't let the plutocrat bastards grind you down <3

I really appreciate the class analysis, which wasn’t fully evident to me before reading this. Also outlining the very real harm that all this causes, a thousand tiny cuts that manufacture a culture of frustration and resentment. The world could very much be otherwise! Infuriating and illuminating. 🙏🏻

‘Lack of respect’: outcry over Amazon employee’s death on warehouse floor Work carried on as usual in the facility as workers were not informed of colleague’s death even as the body lay on the floor

Workers, residents of cities whose taxes fund warehouses and data centers, the entire environment and everyone who wants a livable planet in the future….

Thank you for writing this, I’d been mulling this over and I appreciate your directness. The phrase “girlish foolishness” gives me pause, but it IS a form of foolishness born from our conditioning, that attention from men is the highest form of praise and amounts to worthiness. I feel for her.

Thank you for sharing this, Amanda! This feels like a very grounded and open approach, i particularly appreciate the steelman, I’ve never heard that framing before. Pinning this to return to, as having hard and respectful conversations with folks seems increasingly necessary. 🫶

Harris aligned with centrist views and catered right. Why is it never the centrists who need introspection? You and so many others are creating a biased narrative with no basis in fact. The left was wholly ignored in this election, yet somehow progressives are at fault. Absurd.

One of the last screenings at the og Alamo drafthouse was Godard’s Breathless. They let everyone smoke inside since the theater was being demoed, and smoking was still somewhat legal then. Absolute delight. Absolute health hazard. Film streaming through a bittersweet smoky room. Unforgettable!
