Here are some of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social Alice Wong’s powerful words 💜

Taken from Death Panel podcast with host Beatrice @deathpanel.bsky.social m.soundcloud.com/deathpanel/n...

To the high risk, immunocompromised and disabled people who’ve been ignored, dismissed and thrown under the bus for years, activist Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social has this to say to you:
You are not alone, but ableism like white supremacy, is designed to pit us against each other to fight for the crumbs. We can build power, collaborate and stir shit up because our cause is righteous and true. It is exhausting just to exist let alone defend our humanity everyday. Honestly, I think what I went through last week brought me right to the breaking point. I have never felt so beaten down and defeated. It’s important to admit those dark scary thoughts and not gloss things over just to move on or put on a brave face. Lean into your rage, despair and fear. Being honest with ourselves and others strips away the need to constantly perform and advocate. Remind yourself it never had to be this way, and that all of us can resist in big and small ways. You are a goddamn Oracle and your wisdom is the light that can show us the way forward. And we will not be erased no matter how hard these bastards try. — Alice Wong, Writer, Editor & Activist

A choice, apparently. 🤷🏻‍♂️
A post written by Katsikis Dimitrios: "2.5 months ago I received an email from one of the main collaborators (a very well-known professional Hollywood costume designer) of Christopher Nolan, the producer of the new American film "Ulysses". The proposal for cooperation had to do with the armor of the film's protagonists, as we are referring to the Mycenaean era - they had seen my relevant work on the internet and thought that they should present the heroes with realistic armor. Unfortunately, there was no follow-up in communication. The result is that once again low-fidelity armor from a wardrobe that refers to the Classical period is used. A unique opportunity for historical realism was lost. The email is there for any malicious doubters." Accompanied by a photo of several different sets of very detailed reconstructions of ancient Greek armour.

Nice when someone leaves so you don’t have to anything. 😏

🇺🇸Back in 2020, we warned that Palantir risked contributing to human rights violations against asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in the US, through its business relationship with ICE, and failing to carry out human rights due diligence (HRDD).

Within the part of the menswear industry that I operate in, Roopa Knitting Mills is widely regarded as one of the best hoodie manufacturers. Founded in 1991 by an Indian immigrant named Nat Thakkar, they do every production step after yarn spinning in Ontario, Canada.
