FYI Elena Mistrello a été expulsée hier soir

"Vendredi soir. Le vol Francfort-Toulouse atterrit [...] dès que je descends de l'avion[...] trois agents de la Police nationale [...] m'attendent. Ils m'arrêtent et me mettent au courant du fait que je ne peux pas mettre les pieds en France"
1/n elenamistrello Toulon, Provence-Alpes-Côte D'azur,... : PETITE CHRONIQUE D'UN REFUS FORCÉ, TOULOUSE 2025. Ce week-end (21-23 novembre 2025), j'aurais dû assister au festival de bande dessinée BD COLOMIERS (https://www.bdcolom-iers.com/), auquel j'ai été invitée suite à la publication en traduction française de mon livre <<< Sindrome Italia >> par les éditions Pr-esqueLune (https://www.presquelune.com/syndrome-italie). La maison d'édition avait organisé mon voyage, mon hébergement ainsi que deux jours de dédicaces pour la sortie du livre. Inutile de dire que j'étais impatiente: c'est un très beau festival, où j'aurais pu rencontrer de nombreux collègues, une occasion importante pour mon travail. Vendredi soir. Le vol Francfort-Toulouse atterrit à 18 heures et, dès que je descends de l'avion, je trouve trois agents de la Police nationale (la police française) qui m'attendent. Ils m'arrêtent et me mettent au courant du fait que je ne peux pas mettre les pieds en France, qu'ils ne savent pas exactement pourquoi, mais qu'il existe un signalement du ministère de l'Intérieur concernant le danger que je représenterais. Je reste interdite, mais après un premier moment de surprise mêlée de panique, j'explique tout d'abord que je n'ai jamais eu de prob-lèmes avec la justice française et je montre la lettre d'invitation du festival, en précisant que je suis là pour mon travail. Ils ne m'écoutent pas, ils sont inflexibles. [.../...] Couverture de "Tracciato Palestina" par Elena Mistrello. Racconto di viaggio in Cisjordania. Autoproduzione FOA Boccaccio 003. Trois personnages debout sur un bord de falaise, cordes et pitons, agitent un drapeau palestinien.

🐇 A charioteer for the ages 🦆

What do good rabbits do in their spare time? Why it’s duck chariot racing! Purported to have been found at Hadrian’s villa in Tivoli, this scene sets the stage for great animal rivalries on the chariot racing circuit!

#MosaicMonday #AncientRome
The mosaic panel shows a rabbit as charioteer, holding the reins while two ducks pull the chariot. The rabbit’s look of fierce determination is evident. The scene is framed by a simple geometric border with decorative diamond elements in each corner and a red oval in the middle top and middle bottom.

I began this drawing as a simple sketch to test some paper (a new batch of Fabriano Artistico 300lb). The red crest was such a treat to draw after using so many greys! I see and/or hear red-bellied woodpeckers almost every day, but it never gets boring :)

I’m happy with the paper. #SciArt #Birds

Yolande Norris Clark used to call us the “Conspirituality bros” as a slur when we covered her shady ass business back in 2020.

Reading how many people she fked over, and the number of babies who died because of her “school,” is horrifying.

One plan. Six pillars of international law demolished.

Trump's Ukraine plan requires the US to violate 71 international commitments, @EerikNKross has calculated.

It systematically contradicts the legal order America built over 80 years—from the Geneva Conventions to NATO's founding treaty:

Studying history long enough, in my experience, absolutely obliterates easily held theories about practically everything to do with human beings.

Plenty of residual value still in many of them, but honestly the pat certainties of determinism are the first causality of sustained historical study.

I once met a representative from the subgenre that was willing to call out Stalins purges but insisted that Pol Pot was framed by the CIA and thats the level of nuanced refusal to live in the real world we're facing here

Shorthand: If someone expresses that US Imperialism is a stain upon the earth whose sin can never be washed clean, but Soviet or Chinese imperialism is either acceptable or just didn't happen, you're talking to a tankie.
