As June Jordan said, “We are not powerless. We are indispensable despite all atrocities of state and corporate policy to the contrary... At a minimum we have the power to stop cooperating with our enemies. We have the power to stop the courtesies and to let the feelings be real.”

Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st.
He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power.
Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️

Reading about this luxury apartment building that's falling apart after only ten years because the developer wanted a pure white building, a color only achieved by weakening the concrete. LOL what a fucking living metaphor.
432 Park Is Cracking Up
Developers wanted the supertall’s cement façade to be a pristine white. Turns out that’s not great for durability.

Wrote a bit about how finishing a book is simultaneously like staring at the ceiling and taking a leap into a future you don't quite believe in, via astral projection, Virginia Woolf & Helen Chadwick. Also a solution to the subject/object problem!

!! According to Haaretz (Amos Harel), Ron Dermer (Netanyahu's confidant and chief negotiator on Gaza) refers to Blair as the next governor of Gaza.
The future of Gaza should be decided by the population of Gaza.
