Hey Charles, I’m getting this error message when I try to access Daily Kos. More Bezos fuckery?
Error message from Amazon Cloudfront saying distro server is configured to block access in your country (India). Followed by random sludge copy.

To everyone saying ‘What use was the No Kings protest?’ stfu and go read some history.
This is a painting by me featuring a lioness stretching and yawning, in glowing gold on a black background. Broken chains surround her. Around this image are flaming words from P.B. Shelley’s 1819 poem, The Masque of Anarchy. They read, ‘Rise like lions after slumber, in unvanquishable number/ shake your chains to earth like dew/ that in sleep had fallen on you/ ye are many, they are few.’

Uh oh, I think this service is not available in India. Do you sell on Kobo?
Message from bookshop.org saying I have been blocked. All I did was click the link on Bluesky. I am in India so there’s that.

Just did this. I recommend you do it too.

Conversation I just had with a young friend on Facebook. Non-USian profs with students newly in the US, do not assume your kids know how to stay safe. Please check on them. This is true regardless of their skin colour.
Transcript: me: yo, Facebook is not a safe space right now, so maybe don’t share a ton of pix of you newly in [redacted]? You know the administration is targeting new brown students. Shtum if you don’t want ICE coming your way. Her: Hi Rimi di![Bengali honorific] Thank you so much for this. [Bengali: I will not share any more] I didn’t realise this might turn against me. I will definitely keep it in mind. Thank you again. Everyone who has students coming to the US, do not assume they understand what is happening. Keep an eye on them.

Quote with your blue art.
Hand digital painting of Goddess Durga in a blue sari sitting cross legged with a sleeping green woman on her lap. Her ten upraised hands support white flames with blue hearts. I made this as a stage backdrop for a performance that never happened.

Here’s my mad kitty.
Hand drawing of a lioness stretching with lots of flame effects with the first lines of P.B. Shelley’s Masque of Anarchy: ‘Rise like lions after slumber/In unvanquishable number/ Shake your chains to Earth like dew/ Which in sleep had fallen on you/ Ye are many, they are few.’

This picture encapsulates so much that is wrong about America. A giant burning roll of money being launched into space? That’s a metaphor for a good thing? I wonder how they will illustrate the fall.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.
Drawing of a lioness stretching and yawning in vibrant orange and black with glowy effects and the words of PB Shelley’s Masque of Anarchy: Rise like lions after slumber/ In unvanquishable number/ Shake your chains to Earth like dew,/ Which in sleep had fallen on you,/ Ye are many, they are few’.

Update: it was three weeks ago. Three weeks! Why has no one reported this?
