If every terrible regime treats artists like a threat, artists naturally start to believe it. If the government is afraid of you, it stands to reason that you must be powerfully dangerous. But that’s assuming authoritarians are driven by reason.

Don’t Expect Art To Save Us
When we feel politically helpless, we turn to 'subversive' entertainment. But winning within the realm of pop culture is a poor substitute for political power.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.
It's brutal.
And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

Nine paragraphs into today's NYT story on the situation with the Gaza ceasefire, readers are informed that Israeli officials and international mediators "said that Hamas’s claims were accurate."

going to become the most hated woman in my apartment complex's history by picking the sousaphone back up
If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments.
The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc.
Jump back into it.

Remember when Israel lied and claimed Al Shifa Hospital was atop an underground Hamas Pentagon and put out a 3D animated video depicting it as such and then the Biden administration co-signed that narrative & then Israel went on to systematically attack every hospital in Gaza?
