Personally, I feel like an unusual type of mushroom. With little above the surface but a whole lot of connections going on under the ground.

Excerpt from NYT article. Alt text included.
Mr. Wolff was also involved in a third email exchange, which began on Dec. 15, 2015, the night of a debate in the Republican presidential primary. Mr. Wolff emailed Mr. Epstein and warned him that CNN was “planning to ask Trump tonight about his relationship with you — either on air or in scrum afterwards.” Mr. Epstein wrote back, “If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?” Mr. Wolff advised inaction, suggesting that Mr. Trump might try to deny a close association with Mr. Epstein. “I think you should let him hang himself,” he wrote of Mr. Trump. “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable P.R. and political currency” that could be used to “hang him” later or “save him, generating a debt.”

Transcript: "For the record, I firmly believe that, contrary to the dominant narrative, trans and nonbinary people are actually the least confused people in this society. "You do not stand boldly authentic, unapologetically asserting your truth in a society that aims to erase and condemn you without knowing exactly who you are. "Athena Jeanne Zeiter"

Post from: @imightbefunny1 My son: “I can’t believe you were alive at the same time as Picasso.” Me: “OMG how old do you think I am?? I was definitely NOT alive when Picasso was around.” My son: “Picasso died in 1973.” (Stunned silence) Me: “No more Google for you.”

You feel depressed and crazy because in every historical human culture known to anthropology people sang together, danced together and ate food together, and you don’t sing and you don’t dance and you eat alone in the dark. You feel depressed and crazy because capitalism grinds our cultures down into dust and annihilates every authentic species-typical social experience or replaces it with a commodified simulation. You are a singing ape and you are meant to know fifty dances by heart, which hilltops are sacred, and the names of every plant it is possible to eat. @jaylesoleil

A New National Anthem
By Ada Limon

[with ALT text]
A New National Anthem BY ADA LIMON The truth is, I’ve never cared for the National Anthem. If you think about it, it’s not a good song. Too high for most of us with “the rockets’ red glare” and then there are the bombs. (Always, always there is war and bombs.) Once, I sang it at homecoming and threw even the tenacious high school band off key. But the song didn’t mean anything, just a call to the field, something to get through before the pummeling of youth. And what of the stanzas we never sing, the third that mentions “no refuge could save the hireling and the slave”? Perhaps the truth is that every song of this country has an unsung third stanza, something brutal snaking underneath us as we absent-mindedly sing the high notes with a beer sloshing in the stands hoping our team wins. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the flag, how it undulates in the wind like water, elemental, and best when it’s humbled, brought to its knees, clung to by someone who has lost everything, when it’s not a weapon, when it flickers, when it folds up so perfectly you can keep it until it’s needed, until you can love it again, until the song in your mouth feels like sustenance, a song where the notes are sung by even the ageless woods, the shortgrass plains, the Red River Gorge, the fistful of land left unpoisoned, that song that’s our birthright, that’s sung in silence when it’s too hard to go on, that sounds like someone’s rough fingers weaving into another’s, that sounds like a match being lit in an endless cave, the song that says my bones are your bones, and your bones are my bones, and isn’t that enough?

Look at me I’m a neurotypical [Picture in pastel colours of two white children holding up a third, white, blonde child in a pink dress.] I give weird hints about things instead of just telling people.

“And now that oppression knocks at your door,
you rise up crying “No kings!”
Welcome.
You’ve just arrived at the starting line of a race
we’ve been running for five hundred years.”

[Full text in ALT text.]
Non-Natives love to criticize what they helped destroy. They point fingers at broken homes, cracked windows, overgrown yards, and addictions, but never at the hand that swung the axe that cut us from our roots. They see symptoms, never the sickness. They don’t see genocide, they see “bad decisions.” They don’t see boarding schools, they see “lack of parenting.” They don’t see intergenerational trauma, they see “welfare abuse.” They don’t see centuries of policy meant to erase us, they see “laziness.” You call it history. We call it survival. “Kill the Indian, save the man” that was policy, not metaphor. And now, you’re shocked at the aftermath? You marvel at the fire still burning in our blood while standing on the ashes your ancestors left. And now that oppression knocks at your door, you rise up crying “No kings!” Welcome. You’ve just arrived at the starting line of a race we’ve been running for five hundred years. You shout about freedom while ours was outlawed, our songs criminalized, our children stolen, our ceremonies buried and burned. And still, you don’t see. You only notice the storm when it floods your house. We’ve lived in the downpour for generations. And yet, we still plant seeds. We still sing. We still rise. Your “sprinkles of freedom” were always watered with our blood. So before you critique our homes, our streets, our pain, ask yourself who built your empire, and who paid the price for your comfort. Because we are still here. And we remember everything. And still, I stand with you. Hoping to be seen and heard, healing while holding the line between what was taken and what still grows. Standing with my ancestors’ strength, carrying and holding the hands of the next generation, planting them firmly in the soil of remembrance, so they too may rise with the light of a freedom that belongs to all of us. Watering the seeds with my tears. lakotamade.com

We came across this protest in central Bucharest today (Sunday 19 October) while visiting family.

My Romanian is non-existent, but protest appears to have been about women’s safety, and against domestic violence and femicide.

Stephen Colbert commented, on the Late Show, that the photo of Trump that Time magazine used on its cover was truly awful.

Then he suggested ab alternative…
