I just don’t understand why Americans keep framing their arguments around the idea that any of this would be acceptable if Abrego Garcia, or anyone else being held hostage by ICE, *were* a “gang member” or a “terrorist”. why are people so willing to cede this ideological ground?
Screenshot of a post from Secular Talk: “Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.”

we’re learning how to be normal at the cafe
a brindle staffy licks his lips, sitting next to a little green cafe table a butcher’s shop sandwich and chips on a little green cafe table.

he doesn’t even know about capitalism, he has no right to be consumed by ennui like this
a staffy lies on a blanket, gazing pensively into the middle distance as if there’s something heavy on his mind

he just can’t get enough of that sun
a brindle staffy is lying on a purple rug in a brightly sunlit room. the staffy looks into the camera, panting because he’s been sunbathing for too long.

“Bright extinction” is the term used to describe an extinction happening when the causes of the extinction are known and the solutions are known, but the solutions are not being enacted. There could not be a more poignant example of “bright extinction” than the orca mother Tahlequah carrying her dead calf through the waters of the Salish Sea.

call it the Australian’s Gambit
an Aussie rules tackle in motion: four guys without pads on are colliding disastrously with one another in midair. nobody has a hand on the ball.

I try to give what I can to donation drives, but I don’t make much money and I have to stop myself from really screwing things up here at home.

I’ll go on doing what I can to support Palestinian freedom with my body and voice. Please know, the ordinary people of the world are with you always.

love how my autism is always visible from space on these things. pretty standard year for me, with the exception of that week in march where I got really fixated on environmentalist synthwave from cold war Germany

a brindle frenchie/staffy mix named Frankensteiner lays on a purple rug in the sun. he’s wearing a floral bandana and doing a little blep a still image of Rey Mysterio hitting the Frankensteiner, which is a pro wrestling move where you leap up to your opponent’s shoulder height, grab their head between your thighs and use your momentum to flip and drag them down to the mat. sadly there are no quality images of Candice Lerae’s Frankensteiner on google images, but hers is my favourite and the one I had in mind when I named Frank

“…there, every other day, we are causing a muck in the most liveable city in the world – that’s what the ruling class says in the tabloids. Conservatives usually reminisce to us supposed commies that they grew up in the outback racking up manure but they cannot fathom that someone picked up poo off the concrete. Southbank smells bad. It smells inside MP Peter Khalil’s office, too. It doesn’t smell like social cohesion. It smells like teen spirit. The racists are coming to terms with the reality that supporters of Palestine aren’t your lefty progressives and definitely aren’t the right’s imagined social justice warriors. The bigots repeat, get a job, you’re not doing your cause a favour. The mainstream reporters fall back on a clichéd narrative — the peace activists are violent, how hypocritical, how ironic. The “protesters” see that and say peace is the coloniser’s word.” “There is little cohesion between the two perspectives. Horrifyingly, a few days after Landforces, Neo-Nazis descended on the refugee encampment to declare in no subtle terms: Fuck off, we’re full. It said so on their banner. They were masked. They were in disciplined line formations. They chanted Australia for the White Man. They were faced off by your regular Free Palestine protesters and the refugees who for twelve years have been waiting for a permanent visa. The neo-Nazis ran off to the battle chants of the sharp-edged Palestine protesters. “The protesters” apparently don’t cry. They return the next day and the next weekend. The children and grandchildren of Australia’s boomers cannot afford soy lattes anymore. Remember when we were grilled for being too effeminate to consume cow’s milk? Now, sensationally, we’re throwing horse shit at the officers.”
