A reminder of a pretty etymology to brighten the day. The ‘daisy’ takes its name from the Old English ‘dæges ēage’, ‘day’s eye’, because it opens its petals at dawn, and closes them again at dusk.

A reason to be cheerful: This is the final Monday of January. Then no more January Mondays for 355 days.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.
A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Little mental health tip from someone that's done activism for 20 years.
It's ok to withdraw and take a break from it, even at times when it seems you shouldn't. Better to be stronger later.
It's ok (mandatory even) to not read news sites for a few weeks at your lowest ebb.
Look after yourselves.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Oddly enough Jurassic Park covers this perfectly. It’s a mentality of getting rich quick with no desire to understand what is happening or potential consequences. And a deep resentment that someone else might know more than they do.
One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.

I was listening to an interview with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson a few days ago who said we need more stories in Hollywood depicting a solutions oriented future beyond dystopia.
My first thought: Star Trek’s been there this entire time. Gene Roddenberry+ have given us a lot on which to build.

I try hard with these dances to make sure it feels like a character is dancing to a song that’s true to them, and there’s no universe where you could convince me that Linda isn’t an absolute Monster for Lady Gaga’s discography.
