I don't think everyone gets that there is no going back to how things were at this point.

The good/bad news is that everything is crumbling.

The good/bad news is that we need to figure out what kind of society to build next.

And we all need to start imagining that "next" now.

Apolitical = Shit - Seo Helrune It's Tower Time/the Wolf Age (pick one). Calls for apolitical discourse are shit. Red flags all round. Read more to find out why.

New blog post just dropped. As you can probably tell from the title, I'm being super subtle. Very diplomatic. My take on the shaping force of worldview & the impossibility of remaining apolitical.

Also: a feral disaster groundhog.

Oh hai, Bluesky! I kinda forgot this app existed.

Watched Sinners last night, and omg what an amazing movie! Definitely the kind of film that lives in your mind long after the end credits are done.

Pride in DC.

Pride in DC.

This is what patriotism looks like - marching toward the Capitol with pride, purpose, and the promise of liberty for all.

Los Ángeles is only the first city, MAGA and Trump don’t have enough troops to keep up the pace. Mayors and governors need to back the American people over the Trump regime ICE forces.

We need artists in the resistance!
YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture We need artists in the resistance!

Finally, here's the vid by Parkrose Permaculture. You should give her a follow. I really appreciate her content. Direct speech, compassion, and not being an accelerationist while also being strategic? Hell yes.

AI: The New Aesthetics of Fascism It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

It also reminded me of an essay a friend shared about AI and how it supports the far right. (Link here: newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...)

Parkrose highlights human artists in her video & I think that's important too. Human vs AI. A more human-friendly way of living vs Tech dystopia.

I keep thinking about a vid by @parkroseperma.bsky.social about the need for artists in the movement. She's 100% right. Art is important, and not only for marketing purposes. It can also help us to envision futures and ways of being outside of the neoliberal box.

Imagination -> innovation.

This is the second time she's posted against going to war.

It makes me wonder about the internal convos about Iran, because between this and Rick Scott going on TV talking about how we "need" to destroy Iran because of nukes, I'm going to be watching this one closely.

How many innocents will need to die before everyone else accepts they are being intentionally culled by Trump and Musk? It's not incompetence. It's autogenocide. #3E #EndAutogenocide

Oh yeah, I definitely agree with that one. People forget that checks and balances only work if the people in the positions to enforce them actually do so.

Chuck Schumer just axed his book tour. One of the most entrenched powerful men in the Senate did that because the People got loud and pissed off. Do not let anyone fool you into thinking that we The People are not in charge. We run these rich fucks when we claim our power. We can stop this coup.

I think Trump is what my mother would call "daft t'right road," or in other words, smart in a way that ultimately benefits them. He also has expert manipulators too. But I think people have consistently underestimated him since he first showed up, and that's a mistake.

Minerva actually shows up a few times in DC architecture too. Here we have "Minerva Dictating The Constitution To Young America" (a motif that apparently appears in a few places in DC), and the Minerva from the Library of Congress, her Medusa-adorned shield down to signify peace.

The Story behind Brooklyn’s Minerva Sculpture That Locks Eyes with the Statue of Liberty This statue of the Roman goddess Minerva stands at Brooklyn’s highest point and locks eyes with the Statue of Liberty.

Here's the Green-Wood Minerva

Few people are aware that Liberty locks eyes with a statue of Minerva, an armored goddess of war and the arts, at Green-Wood cemetery in Brooklyn.

Without Liberty, what is left?

Interesting how the response to that question is the same for circumstances and statuary alike.

I don't think we'll make it to an election before it all kicks off. I think we're talking weeks, not months.

And as my husband just pointed out, it's possible either an aide is posting this stuff or these posts are scheduled in advance.

(Note: I have no idea if that is possible on Truth Social.)

Which, if true, would add weight to the idea that this is by design.
