Listen.

A neighborhood in New Orleans did this. Shut down traffic for a day to throw the thing a block party.

The city said, “haha guys ok, bet you won’t do it again.”

The next year they had an even bigger birthday party for the pot hole. Disrupted even more traffic. Local bakery donated cake.

The city caved and fixed the road.

If you cannot get things fixed by following the rules, be as bombastic as you need to be.

Very effective method of getting the city to fix potholes? Spray paint dicks around them.

Not kidding.

The city often has funds earmarked to remove graffiti, especially graffiti 'of a salacious nature', and if you make the pothole into graffiti, they can use those funds to fix it. Move it from a Dept of Transit problem to a Dept. of Public Works problem.

i believe you can always get back to yourself. you can always soften into being again. no matter how long you might be stuck in a pattern of unhappiness, of being jaded, of feeling guarded from the world in some way. there is always a path back. give yourself a chance to find it.

I felt like I needed to clarify some things before we could continue any more conversations on this godforsaken website.

I’m very proud of the European Robin, I think I really captured it.

ALSO A DADDY LONG LEGS is different in the UK vs USA. I learned that by arguing with some Brits because they said there was a daddy long legs on the wall, i looked and only saw an insect, argued with them all for 45 minutes until we all looked it up and saw that we were both correct.

British badger: jovial fellow, eats toast and jam. Might invite you in for a cuppa with the Mrs. Agricultural nuisance.

American badger: pallas cat of a wolverine. Very defensive. Fuck immediately off.

Bonus African badger: Silverback gorilla of mustelids. Should be a cryptid. Bro, don’t even. You are nothing to him.

i genuinely don’t think the haitians eating pets lie is something that should be laughed off bc the rhetoric literally rooted in some of the worst acts of colonial violence known to man but i just know liberals are going to try and meme it away. this isn’t a funny haha republicans are so stupid thing this is a hey they are trying to justify a resurgence of specific atrocities against this specific group of people

As a historian, I see two specific lineages of US racism in play here (that I can think of, there are probably more):

1. Racist accusations about Haitian vodou practitioners killing people’s pets in rituals

2. Accusations about Asian immigrants eating dogs and cats

This shit has a long and storied history and it isn’t funny.

NPR has a good, short piece about this.

i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

For the first time since the 1948 Nakba, there was no Christmas tree lighting outside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Palestine.

In its place, an installation depicting the nativity scene is placed as if it were taking place in Gaza today. This is done in support of the people of Gaza who have been facing a harrowing Israeli aggression for the past 80 days, an aggression so catastrophic that it lead to cancelling Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem this year.

With the nativity models placed amid rubble and barbed wire, the star of Bethlehem is represented by the aftermath of a bomb hitting their shelter. The scene replicates those following Israeli shelling of civilian homes in Gaza.
