Might start shopping the book around in Europe & Canada because publishers here are nervous about picking up a book critiquing American fascism right now. It's frustrating because I know Americans want to read that right now, but the fear of backlash is huge.

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

Fluffy gray tripod tabby lounging stop a cardboard chaise in a sunbeam. He’s on his back and looking up at the camper with one fang sticking out. He’s not hiding the other one; it’s been missing since before we met him.

The Morning Monty has received a sunbeam for #Caturday - and there is much toasty rejoicing

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Everyone is just trying live our lives—watch our little stories, have our little snacks—and these motherfuckers are doing absolutely everything possible to put an end to that.

Well the good news about having a near death experience last week is I'm not that fussed about submission now. The bad news is we are now bombing Iran because...? So I'm fussed for a different reason

I condemn any war that kills children. Which is all of them. Hands off Iran now.

This was my favorite book of last year. Flowers of Grass by Takehiko Fukunaga. 1954, so in your strike range, but Japanese. Will at least remove you from Britain.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Black-and-white photo of two kittens sitting side-by-side. One is a medium haired black tuxedo. The other is medium haired white with darker patches and wearing a ribbon bow around its neck. Text at the bottom of the photo says “engaged“.

Today I learned how to hunt from a kingfisher. It watches fish on the water's surface and puts itself in the fish's place. It imagines where the fish is heading and then dives into the river.

It bums me out when people get on here and minimize the terrible things that are going on, which are clearly going to have terrible consequences for so many. And yet I can imagine all of this is breaking brains, even smart ones, and the stress of facing reality straight on is a lot.
