I love the use of the phrase 'some strange alchemy' as a descriptor for a process you don't understand.

'Through some strange alchemy(crochet) they turned a bundle of yarn into a stuffed giraffe'

'Through some strange alchemy(bad cooking) they turned a perfectly marinated steak into a charcoal briquet'

'Through some strange alchemy(good cooking) they turned a pile of slop into the fluffiest bread loaf I'd ever seen'

'Through some strange alchemy(bad reading comprehension) they took my polite statement and turned into a disgusting act against the poor'

and so on

I love you tailors, I love you recycling center employees, I love you jewelry repair people, I love you tech repair people. I love you plumbers, I love you electricians. I love you all maintenance workers, who make it so things don't have to be fully replaced when they break.

There are so many ways to contribute to the climate movement.

“Advice to young activists today: Stop trying to understand the 1960’s and build a movement around something that you did not live through or understand, or a movement like the Black Panther Party that went through many changes of policy and program during its 16 year existence. Show respect to movements and activists of the past, understand what they went through, even work with them where that is helpful, but do not make the mistake of building your movement today around anything other than the material conditions and forms of oppression that exist now. Do not be afraid to think in an original sense about police terror, mass imprisonment, homelessness, mass unemployment and poverty, and so many forms of oppression that are worse now, or that did not even exist as a mass problem in the 1960’s. This is a different time, so you have to think, resist and organize in this time.”

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

someone’s hoping you’re free to hang out. hoping you drive home safe. hoping they can hug you tight the next time they see you. hoping you’re out there doing well. hoping you’ll text them back. hoping you’re okay.

Man I just got a hand it to Leverage for being the best possible vehicle for explaining the evils of the world to a kid. My ten year old is currently deeply into Leverage, and we watch an episode together maybe three or four nights a week. Initially the draw was the heist (she saw Ocean's 8 and was delighted and wanted more), now she's hooked on the characters like we all are.

But man like. The kid learned tonight what child abuse was because she watched Eliot threaten to throw an abused down a stairwell and then make real damn sure the marshalls found that kid and helped him. Later while we're picking berries she says "hey mom, why do you think Eliot figured that out? Nobody else noticed that kid was in trouble."

"Huh yeah, that's a great question."

"is it just because he likes to hit people? But probably not, remember when Sophie said Eliot fights to survive."

Ten minutes later she says, "maybe he knows about that because it happened to him."

Five minutes later, "so maybe now he knows how to look out for other kids."

And then we talked about how teachers and doctors are mandatory reporters and what that means but like, her budding knowledge of adult life is couched in how people fight the bad shit and I fucking love it
