The latest n+1's opening editorial is partially about the comeback of bookstores and has some good jokes at b&n's expense

mood:

"Haven't you noticed how comfortable people feel when on meeting someone they just don't like them? Comfortable, I suppose, for one feels that here, at least, is someone who is not going to have the opportunity of ever disturbing one's life in any way."

An American Anarchist:The Life of Voltairine de Cleyre | by Paul Avrich.

Almost felt like an anarchist prayer

Also, Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith and Holofernes is at the SAM until the 26th and i love it


---
May you be a Judith decapitating a Holofernes,
A Joan of Arc leading a people to victory,
A Louise Michel fighting on the barricades,
A Voltairine de Cleyre singing songs of revolt,
An Emma Goldman preaching the gospel of rebellion.

Into The War | by Italo Calvino

History sure does rhyme

This is an image that is a mashup of the two opening pages to "Into the War", a book by Italo Calvino.

The book opens with a page of very mundane descriptions of some Italian teenagers just being teenagers. And then suddenly, Mussolini has announced Italy will enter the war.

borders and governments don't protect you, but they can sure get you killed

Just a difference of opinions folks. Some people think transit should be free, some people think the government should round up, torture, and kill political opponents

This Is Hell!

episode 1098: Mourning Thanksgiving.

pca.st/c5hzsybr

---------------------

Yesterday I learned

- thanksgiving has been celebrated in the US since the 1600s
- the "pilgrims and indians" bits of the myth were added in the 1800s as WASP propaganda

so I guess a reminder that if you live and/or work in , to make rent payments to the Duwamish Tribe.

following up on this cafe vita thing.

Looks like cafe vita is implying people CHOOSE to be homeless so they can get sweet sweet free coffee

reminder that capitalists are not good people. even "small, local" varieties

"The key witness in an assault case against a Portland activist was nowhere near the alleged hammer attack when it occurred during a tense political protest last month in downtown, new court documents claim.

Nor have police or prosecutors spoken with the man they say was seriously injured, according to the defendant’s lawyer."

video of seattle police arresting a 13 year old kid for a climate change protest

are you kidding me, someone CALLED the police on these kids

it's not like they were planting bombs on a pipeline, this was a very non-action symbolic protest and even that was too much for people in seattle

Lindsay Ellis has a new video up and I love how she calls these "hot takes" when they are actually the opposite of the trash that comes out of the likes of the atlantic.

A lot of time and research put into actual film/television theory and media critique that can be used as a way to think critically about power and art and how it affects actual humans
