It's your birthday, Duane.
Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..." There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel Duane Puryear died in 1991.

Waymo cars are crazy now

Don't let them in your town

They were so sweet at first

But now they drive like a drunk 17yo

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

With one episode left of Andor this popped into my head.
I hope @atherton.bsky.social likes it

Like Coruscant I'm zoned for infill
The New Republic is provincial
I'm glad Andor didn't need a Jedi

I referred to this meme as "Nevermind my lady's ass , check out this other lady's ass" and this is now canon

Kinda fucked up that the Gin Blossoms still tour considering they kicked out and drove to suicide their guitarist/songwriter who wrote their only good songs on New Miserable Experience.
