Now that I've more or less completed the thoughts I was piecing together over the course of the day, we should talk a bit more about "no gods, no masters" a bit...
Just finished "Kirby's Lessons for Falling (In Love)" by Laura Gao. I'd previously read her autobiographical graphic novel "Messy Roots" which was excellent, and this book continues that trend. Yet another complicated look at a Chinese-American immigrant experience, wrapped into a queer romance with a dose of spirituality in there as well. I think the background metaphor of falling is really strong, and gets used in so many senses it's beautiful.

Ik ga vanaf nu weer wekelijks de NIVEL weekrapportage monitoren en hier samenvatten. Waarom? Omdat de griepgolf lijkt begonnen te zijn, wat eerder dan vorig jaar. Het niveau zit nog net onder de epidemische drempel dus dat betekent dat de griepgolf op zijn vroegst officieel op oudjaarsdag zou kunnen beginnen (voor de start van een golf moeten de waarden daar normaliter 2 weken achtereen boven zitten). Maar de toename is wel opvallend. H3N2?

The genocide in Gaza is not just Israel’s genocide; it’s the West’s genocide.

I'm going to go back to my social media break, but before I do I'm going to leave you with a thought experiment.
Imagine we're in the middle of the second American Civil War. What do you wish you had done to prepare? What do you wish you had done to bring the regime down faster? What do you wish you had done to avoid this ever happening?
Got some ideas? Think about them. Talk them over with friends. Ok... Now what can you do right now? Ok, now do it.
