I'm due a rewatch too. I try to make it yearly to stay in communication with the twelve year old freedom fighter in my heart. especially when I'm usually feeling like this
A room running with fresh water and blooming with an orderly multitude of impossible shapes and spores. In the middle, at a small table adorned with light and writing instruments, a red-haired woman slumps forward, her head in her crossed arms. A small strange squirrel-sized creature stands by her hidden face.

nausicaä of the valley of the wind has this specific moment that informed my political worldview from a very young age. "Shoot!" "I can't! It's the Princess!"
Hand drawn frame of animation from the movie Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. A woman with red hair faces the viewer with arms outstretched. She wears a pink dress with a crested symbol on her chest. A strange creature shelters at her neck, some squirrel-shaped thing with bright green eyes. Her face is set in a solemn gaze. Her hands have lifted away from the strap of her wind-speeder.

nearly time, now.
Monarch chrysalis with visible wing patterns attached to weathered metal pole. Out of focus green trees and plants shine in the sun beyond the chrysalis.

feeling like these facts are true
A photo of billowing clouds in a clear blue sky. Green trees lean across the frame in the foreground. Three lines of text are superimposed on the picture. Number one in black says nature's health is people's health. Number two in white says we are natural things who need access to nature. Number three in red says all things that are in nature change.

thanks for making these cool-ass stickers @dresdencodak.com
Official Topatoco Packing Slip, with three stickers of a burning sword in trans colors, words on each sticker saying OUR JOY IS A SWORD. in the custom field of the packing slip, there is a long string of text, which says: there will come a day again where we may rest in the light of the setting sun, after our banner has been raised over fields of flowers in the radiance of the rainbow on the blue sky: but now the doing needs done. let us see to it. An employee has embellished the end of the note with a little ink-drawn heart.

I read most of Scott Adams' early work as a young child. I believe his work is defined by his plodding descent into corporate hell and ascension into his final form, an eternal Groundhog Day of the soul lived out in the paper pages of the yearly Dilbert-A-Day desk calendar

redrawing of J.J. Audubon's first encounter with wild pigeons (E. Migratorius, the now-extinct native pigeon of north america) in the forests of New York for his 1835 Ornithological Biography, "or, an Account of the Habit of the Birds of the United States of America"
Photos of a handwritten journal. It begins: "I dismounted, seated myself on an eminence, and began to mark with my pencil, making a dot with everything that passed. I rose, and, counting the dots then put down, found that 163 had been made in twenty-one minutes. I traveled on, and still met more the farther I proceeded. The air was literally filled with Pigeons; the light of noon-day was obscured as by an eclipse; the dung fell in spots, not unlike melting flakes of snow. The continued buzz of wings had a tendency to lull my senses to repose." The latter half of the page has a line drawing of a bird with a small beak, swooping as if in flight. At the top of the second page, a small illustration shows a figure in the foreground, clutching a journal and their hat as great columns of birds swoop by in a violent rush, pinwheeling into the lone figure of a hawk. The shapes blot out the horizon. "... I cannot describe to you the extreme beauty of their aerial evolutions, when a hawk chanced to press upon the flock. At once, like a torrent, and with a noise like thunder, they rushed into a compact mass, pressing upon each other towards the center. They mounted perpendicularly so as to resemble a vast column, and, when high, resembled the coils of a gigantic serpent ... — J.J. Audubon 1835 Ornithological Biography, or, an Account of the Habit of the Birds of the United States of America"

an EF-3 tornado touched down in St. Louis, MO on May 16th 2025, killing 5 people and leaving a 20 mile long storm track through the heart of historically redlined North City. It dealt $1.6 billion in damages and rendered a lot of neglected housing uninhabitable.

Mother Mary Magdalene stares out at the viewer, half-obscured by a wall of light. She has pulled back her blue shawl, revealing her blood-red shirt. A monarch butterfly rests where her heart would be. She is adorned with a graffiti crown, dollar signs stenciled onto the wall around her. In the darkness beyond the wall she is painted on, white light streaks through the frame like a passing ghost.

Did you know? The St. Louis general strike of 1877 saw laborers take control of the city for a week in late July. The following year, a secretive group of rich white men- the Veiled Prophet Organization- paraded wealth and power throughout the city, displacing the labor movement from the streets.

i hate this fucking meme
map of the gulf of mexico. The original text of the meme says: "If we can call a body of water a new name, I feel like we can all call trans people by their name and pronouns too." The edited text on top of the original meme says "If we can call a body of water by a new name, I feel like we have not yet come to understand the wounds our country's appetite for colonialism has left upon the world, and no appeal to logic will turn the machine of hatred from its violent desires. Do not seek permission from those who would restrain you."
