Thrilled to meet @nolore.bsky.social at the book launch for Canada in Decline: Corporate Control.
People are over the status quo. I’m grateful for the ongoing call to action to create spaces for people to come together over these issues.

Part 1 Screenshot of Instagram caption from @chiara.acu. Black font on white background. The caption states: “The ai video released yesterday deeply shook me it made me reflect on the role of artists in this moment the role of images the role of the very tools we have developed to disrupt - irony, absurdity, satire - being used to make light of genocide, to bypass and deny structures of power and domination inside of this moment, i think of Grace Lee Boggs the first time I heard her speak I was in my early 20s and I remember her talking about how it was time to grow our souls and I did not understand as a young organizer I thought that sounded mushy and too slow How can we grow our souls in the middle of fighting for survival? it's been well over a decade since that moment, and yet they are the first words that came to mind as I watched the video, my body rejecting its contents, as if I were made to eat plastic fruit The use of Al, the hyperreality of false reality is something I can feel my brain is not equipped to digest or quite process and yet here we are, this is now, and it is indeed time to grow our souls, to expand our capacity to meet this moment from a place of choice and to deepen in the practice of what it means to be human, for the sake of liberation” Continued next image Part 2 screenshot from @Chiara.acu on Instagram. The caption includes visual description at the end. “what we witnessed in that video is psychic warfare a provocation designed to upset, confound, and dominate a violent show of power a test of how far, how offensive, how vile this administration can be without consequence inside of this moment, whose stories will we listen to? what compass are we crafting to steer our hearts? how are we shaping in present time toward liberation? who is at yr back and sides as you remember again and again and again who you are what you love what shapes you and what you shape? NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO DON'T FORGET WE GET TO CHOOSE HOW WE MOVE Image id: 6 slides, all text included in caption. slide 1-3 show cutup video fragments of the video released last night by clownman T, with a black square and bold red text.
