1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.
The more we build community, the less it can take root.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Super great that one of the major funding bodies that supports my physics research is now officially in opposition to me being the one to do it.

Feminist friends - looking back anti ‘DEI’ is a new version of anti ‘woke’ which was built on anti ‘gender inclusion’ & anti ‘positive discrimination’ which was hated as ‘political correctness’ back in the day - it’s all just the continuing of misogyny, racism, LGBTQ phobias! New name, same hate!

In a world full of trump I prefer a world full of tramp.

Supertramp.

Needed this tonight even though I don't think many of my Iraqi or Kurdish friends have any idea who Supertramp are.

Such is life 😅
