OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

To everyone who voted
For Trump: was annexing Greenland, turning Canada into a state, taking over the Panama Canal and renaming the Gulf of Mexico part of your plan? Hope you enjoy your cheap gas and eggs while we spiral even more into the abyss. What a disaster.

Berlin is an utter disaster on NYE if you have a baby or a pet. Currently camping out on the floor in the back of the house with a white noise machine on max and we are still dealing with a terrified kid. I fuckin hate the fireworks.

My heart is with my dear Syrian friends tonight as we watch the end of the Assad regime. I have met thousands of them as they fled the horrors of Assad. Justice for the fallen, hope for the disappeared and may their efforts to create a free Syria be realized.
