Goran World - yesterday As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.

it's wild what happens when cops walk into any room. it's like the tonus of the space changes, gross

When you comply you increase your tolerance for compliance and help normalize violations of important norms

That’s how even a little compliance helps usher in fascism

A little compliance in 1933 set the stage for the Holocaust.

Remember that

oh my god, i forgot about that atrocious day!

one problem with immersing in academic theory is concepts start to mush and bleed together. although maybe that's the point, that these works are inseparable even though the authors are not directly addressing one another...? but yeah, #mushbrain

it's so weird to be asked to write so many recommendation letters, while still requiring so many recommendation letters

i'm trying to have some kind of cogent thought about or ways to prepare for the effect of these tariffs. if people have thoughts other than buy canadian (which yes, definitely) i'd love to hear them. I keep reading "buckle up" but i have no idea what that looks like particularly as an artist-demic

Did a fascist sit down at a table you're serving? Oops, it's break time. Did they walk into your store? Oops, early closing. Did you get invited to brief them in something? Such a bummer, you are triple booked.
Do. Not. Show. Up. For. Fascists.

I swear you can put Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams on any playlist and it’ll work

Everyone everywhere I go has a cough or a sniffle. It’s so stressful

"I’m thinking of a labor movement, but one very different than the kind we’ve already seen. A labor movement that manages to finally ditch all traces of the ideology that says that work is a value in itself, but rather redefines labor as caring for other people."
- David Graeber

Has anyone noticed how similar the Untitled D’Angelo video and Nothing Compares to You Are? In this paper I will…

Also, I really want a Mannequin Pussy hoody. But there’s no way I could wear it while teaching pilates, which 95% of when I’m out in the world, so🤦‍♀️

This is perfect explanation

One of my bestie’s just disparagingly described mannequin pussy as a fleetwood mac rip off band. I love MP but also love the hot take

Deeply frustrating in a "can the subaltern speak way" how we keep trying to explain how the risk is impoverishment, imprisonment, violence & death, and the liberal/left keeps on saying "I'm so sorry, don't worry, you are valid" in response???
