Glyn Philpot. Journey of the Spirit, 1921.

Goya. The Colossus, >1808.

I cannot hope to fathom the full depths of this very complex reference, but it does occur to me that we today are at about the same hundred-year remove from the Philpot as he was from Goya.

If you're not familiar with Glyn Philpot, he is one of the great gay artists, prolific with astounding work.

Never before in the history of humanity has any emperor ever strutted so naked.

Cousin just characterized the Epstein release: "Okay now we believe you but we still don't care." He's so good at summarizing. #EpsteinFiles

I just want to say thank you to the Americans on here who have evidently made a concerted effort to start putting an F to specify when they are talking about Fahrenheit degrees. I can't imagine what prompted the recent shift, but it makes a difference, it's clearer and respectful to the rest of the world, and I for one have noticed the change.

Anyone expecting the USA to have free, fair, uncontested elections at this point is being intentionally obtuse. If someone is building a battering ram in your front yard right in plain sight, it's unreasonable to believe they're not intending to use it on your door. Before laboring to get out the vote, I think we might need to labor to get out the fash, sine qua non.

Hail Thee Festival Day! Jan 30, No work-shop-school, and tell everyone why, in the loudest terms possible. If Americans can learn to strike all together, the history of the whole world changes overnight. #Strike #GeneralStrike

I hate covid and don't believe it's over, but I want to say what's getting lost to history: I'm grateful for the lockdowns in 2020. I spent months in seclusion and came out with the clearest mind I've ever had. In my case it was a blissful reset, however shadowed in fear and even as it wrecked my business. It proved that whenever we want to, we can change the economy. It can be changed overnight. It already was. Neoliberal excuses are unmasked. It's one reason they support mass amnesia since.

One of the freakiest Anne Frank things I've learned as society implodes is that Big Data and violent gestapos are not anywhere near the immediate danger to a resister as someone intimate and close is. Nazis have to have resources, time, and a good reason to hone in on you specifically. The reason is generally provided by a tipoff from a denouncer close to the victim, not random surveillance.
