This is so beautiful.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

LOL I love this for them.

Page from an archaeological report showing a line drawing reconstruction of burial garments of an Iron Age Sarmatian woman. She wears a hooded garment with ornamental metal plaques appliquéd on, a fringe along the hood, and fancy panels with organic detailing on the sleeves. She also has big earrings consisting of hoops with large dangling charms. She holds a highly decorated mirror in her left hand.

I found an Iron Age Sarmatian woman who wore a hoodie decorated with gold embossed decorative plaques! So fancy!

She was a tattoo artist. We got the drip, since the 5th century BCE.

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I’m resharing this again because it’s so good that it made it into my dreams last night. I dreamed some needed project was being cancelled bc its directors thought fascism had already won & I was pleading with them. “There’s always a next right thing to do! Don’t give up! We need you!”

Hands down my favorite resource for Celtic research studies.

important to note that, after people in oakland IMMEDIATELY threw down on day one, trump was eager to make it appear that it wasn't this promise of an indefinite uprising that made him pause, it was the advice of bay area tech lords, who he wants to be seen as having the power, not the people, etc.

This is so good.

We should stay alert because this can easily be a feint or a tactic to get folks to stop paying attention.

ICE was already present and doing small raids here before the “surge” so this does not mean we will not need to keep working to protect each other.

You’re not wrong! It is pretty derpy looking!

@governor.ca.gov You claim to be standing up for democracy and against Trump. That’s a lie when your CHP is down there at Coast Guard Island right now helping DHS attack protestors. Call them off and stand down. Now.

Photo shows a short DHS agent in khaki pants, riot vest and helmet pointing a black riot munition weapon directly at a pastor at a range of about 4-5 feet. The pastor is dressed in black with dress shoes and his head and shoulders are completely engulfed in yellow smoke from the riot munitions shot that has just hit him in the face. There is a small dark stain on the crotch of the DHS agent’s pants as if he has pissed himself. Because cops and feds are pathetic little pissboys with no courage or integrity.

@governor.ca.gov this is what your CHP officers are aiding right now at Coast Guard Island. DHS violently attacking protestors, shooting a peaceful praying pastor directly in the face at 5 ft range with riot munitions. Your CHP are aiding them right now to brutalize and arrest these protestors.

If you live in CA, call the governor’s office

(916) 445-2841

Please call the Governors office. CHP is massing near Coast Guard Island Alameda where Feds attacked peaceful Interfaith vigil activists today! Tell Newsome do not cooperate!

The feds have staged their forces on Coast Guard Island, and there is one road off of the island. This action was at the intersection where that road enters Oakland.

This was Oakland btw but yes. DHS thugs are pissbabies.

Btw here’s the pic from that Oaklandside article of the moment DHS thugs shot a peaceful praying pastor in the face with riot munitions.

Also kinda looks like this agent pissed himself. He probably wouldn’t want you to make this pic go viral.

I know right? It’s such bad design. It’s not actually a giant swollen belly if you look closely at it, but that’s how it reads at first glance. See my post at the end of the thread

Agreed! It’s really a minimum-effort douchebag move. Not a great start at re-earning any goodwill or trust.

Post post postscript. Would it have been a better decision for “I’m gonna cover up my nazi tattoo now that I got caught” guy to pick a motif from like ANY other image lexicon other than Norse? YUP. This guy is signaling equal parts “I’m just doing this to appease them” and “dumb as a box of rocks.”
