i feel like the fact you can't browse twitter anymore if you're not on it is the modern equivalent of the burning of the library of alexandria

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action.

Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:
Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

it's so funny listening to really loud music in your headphones while in the library. you're all "smack my bitch up" meanwhile the bitch in question is a book on the history of trees

"hand gesture" is one way to put it
This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

i'm really trying to like this app & escape the transphobes, climate deniers & muskle boys on the other one. but i haven't found my people. so hi, my name is ilona, i'm a writer, i like books & letting the soft animal of my body love what it loves. also i believe a ceasefire is just the beginning.
