Just finished + Now reading

Bonus: you get to see my acute case of fountain pen thumb 😭
Front cover of Kelly Hayes + Mariame Kaba’s Let This Radicalize You. It is a mostly red-orange cover w bands of yellow running diagonally at the top and bottom. The words “Let This Radicize You” run through the top 60% of the image w silhouettes of activists holding raised hands along the bottom. Front cover of The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The title and author name are emblazoned in white on top of tan colored messages that seem to cover/hide other images/messages beneath.

Tea’s gone cold I wonder why
I got out of bed at all
Morning rain clouds up my window
And I can’t see at all

Album cover of Will Smith’s Big Willie Style. Set across a blue background drop, Will Smith is standing in a white shirt and dark pants, pointing to the sky with the sun peeking out from behind his head and his shirt blowing in the breeze. In big block letters above his head is written “Will Smith.” Below him in smaller block letters is written “Big Willie Style.”

Purchased this so I can finally join my friends that have seen it cause my fave movie pod (Scott Hasn’t Seen) is featuring it on this week’s episode. Let’s go maritime Javert!
Screenshot featuring Russell Crowe in the title slide for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a 2003 period adventure film featuring Crowe in the lead role. Crowe is dressed in 17th century sailing gear: a blue coat with white/cream colored vest and blouse above a cream colored set of pantaloons.

🗣️ CAST MS. RACHEL IN THE SE7EN REBOOT
A photo of a box for a toy from Ms. Rachel’s line of toys. The front corner features a small photo of Ms. Rachel in her typical attire (pink headband, hair in a ponytail, pink shirt, jean overalls) and smiling while clapping her hands together. Next to her is a word bubble with the following text: “What’s in the box? What could it be?”

I saw this Arteta quote floating around and didn’t realize it was from the pre-match presser for the PSG match. The level of delulu *and* willful obfuscation of facts is truly unrivaled lol
Screen shot of Goal.com article that reads: WHAT ARTETA SAID Before the match, Arteta shared his perspective on the challenge of winning trophies and said, "We're going to try to do this season. Winning trophies as well is about being in the right moment, in the right place. Liverpool have won the title with fewer points than we have in the last two seasons. With the points of the last two seasons, we would have two Premier League titles. So, you have to be at the right moment, in the right place. Hopefully, here we are in the right moment, in the right place in Paris tomorrow, to earn the right to be in the final."

Wasn’t sure which fit I’d choose ahead of today and glad I settled on this one. Champions of England. Up the Reds! #YNWA

Have been feeling heavy and haven’t been able to find words for why. Read this, though, and it really filled my sails and is an encouragement at this moment. Thanks @mskellymhayes.bsky.social for this and also @prisonculture.bsky.social for the entire book I’m turning to as a source of uplift. 🙏🏽
An excerpt from Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba. In the excerpt, Ms. Hayes reflects on a poem that urges folks to continue to work towards new realities. I won’t have enough characters to write the entire passage out, but it is on page 3 of the book.

Ok I need input from @audunman.bsky.social and @ej1892.bsky.social on what this might taste like lol

(I *love* Voyager and am half-tempted to order this for myself haha)
A screenshot of an advertising email from Voyager Craft Coffee featuring a photo of a cold coffee bottle with a label saying Bergen. The text on the side indicates that it’s a make-at-home version of their hit Bergen Latte.

Yup!! First time doing astrophotography and kinda did it as a last minute choice haha I didn’t have a crucial piece for my tripod, so my photos are slightly blurred/moving. I also need to figure out how to manually focus. But yeah, turned out great!

Also have one photo that might be of interest to @mostlyinane.quest
A rock on a trail on which is engraved a quote from Moby Dick, attributed to Herman Melville: “…Meditation and water are wedded forever.”

Took the camera out over the last few days. Here are some of my favorite shots.
The southern pond at Oak Glen. Quail Springs, Joshua Tree. In the foreground is a Joshua Tree and in the background is the night sky. In the middle distance is a red beam of light, an effect caused by the long exposure of the shot. The night sky over Joshua Tree. Lots and lots of stars!! Downtown Palm Springs at twilight.

I decided to record my session and throw up the recording for one last appeal of support for my fundraiser! Any donation amount not only gives you the link to this recording but also the good feeling of supporting immigrant rights work at a vital time. Here’s the link: givebutter.com/lzNL0W/money...

Just got followed by an *aggressively* atheist account and genuinely can’t discern how these posts either 1) engender the kind of empathetic space towards connection nor b) are any different from the fundamentalist stuff I’ve encountered in any faith space.
A graphic with various iconography of world religions with a quote from Richard Dawkins’ God Delusion: “Religion is a mistake of geography.” A graphic with an 15th century era man holding a candlelight over an open book while holding a gyroscope (I think) on a globe. Block font at the top reads, “Religion” Below, text reads “You were fooled and conned does not make you an idiot. But what does is in spite of the truth so easily available to see, you still believe the lies.” The text is littered with odd formatting choices that lead to grammatical errors.

Pretty gobsmacked at this ad I saw just now. Not only is it impossible to avoid sports betting ads when watching any pro sport, but now *Masterclass* is offering a “masterclass” on sports betting??
Advertisement for a Masterclass on Sports Betting. The title of the ad says, “How Pros Win at Sports Betting.” The link for the page is “Sports Betting Strategies.”

This is a wild thing for Carra to say cause I remember that one of the reasons fans turned on Hodgson was precisely this - and the football was far more dire and incompetent than what I’ve seen from Spurs.
Article related to Ange Postecoglu’s potential to be sacked after a tough loss to Chelsea that saw Ange’s Spurs side give up a 2-nil lead. Excerpt is a quote from Jaime Carragher, former Liverpool player and current pundit. “Carragher told Sky Sports: "Ange said how well they played. I can't imagine any Liverpool manager I played for - and we conceded four in a game - would say in the interview we played well. If you play this way you'll get the result like at Manchester City but you'd also get results like this one where you're 2-0 up. I've never got my head around managers saying we play a 'certain way and we will never change' - I think it started with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona.”

You don’t just get the good feeling of supporting the immigrant community when you donate - you get music! By me!

This quote from the founder is wild and it once more makes me wonder how these guys get this stuff funded to begin with.
Screenshot of article with highlighted text that reads: ““So we just said, let’s build health care in the same way that you would build a Tesla, the same way you’d build an iPhone, the same way you build a modern TV,” Aoun said. “Which is: It’s just kind of modern and intuitive and uses the latest technology.”

AJ while in high school school. On stage at a talent show, wearing a white tank top and khakis, lip synching I Want it That Way by the Backstreet Boys with 4 other HS boys behind him. He drew a fake mustache, goatee, and beard in the style of AJ Maclean.

This reply to a different post is why I wrote the quoted thread. Could see this coming a mile away and I’m not sure that folks’ scattershot takes are helpful.
Photo of a response to AJ’s post (“Knowing who your opposition is is good praxis.”) that says, “We can blame immigrants who voted for a dictator and self deportations.”

Me: posting street photography to avoid the stress of the World Series.
Internet of the Spring Arcade in downtown Los Angeles. It is a breezeway with shops on either side. There are string lights adorning the overhang. The decor evokes Art Deco style in keeping with the area’s history (the neighborhood is LA’s Historic Core).
