I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

Sunday pool day #LosAngeles

LeeSean 立翔 @leesean.bsky.social · 11d

Mere minutes after enjoying my breakfast burrito in peace, I was approached by a gaggle of Scientologists with suspiciously perky smiles asking if I wanted to take a "stress test." So far, LA is serving up a 100% peak #LosAngeles.

Heard this tune in a movie lately? Here’s my cover version of “Silver Dagger,” a folk ballad made famous by Joan Baez in the 60's. It also appeared in the 2024 Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, and the 2025 gay period romance, The History of Sound. #Music #Ukulele

The harvest continues! The branches that the tomatoes were on broke, so I had to harvest them green, but they work great in a salsa verde.

@heretakis.bsky.social on the unequal price of becoming a designer:

"The children of privilege are here in growing numbers, reshaping the very landscape of design education."

The Elephant in the Room: How Social Class Is Quietly Redefining Design Education

The elephant in the room isn’t just privilege, it’s what happens to design if we let privilege lead.

Sunday Supper: Roasted cod, potatoes, chorizo and mushrooms with an herb, lemon and garlic sauce

LeeSean 立翔 @leesean.bsky.social · 26d

If I ever do a secret farm to table pop-up, this would be on the menu: corn, zucchini, mushroom, chorizo and cheese fritters with remoulade and a homemade fermented habanero and peach hot sauce.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Who are your pressured into empathizing with? Who are you punished for empathizing with? Who benefits from such a system? And why?

Color me skeptical, too, since this administration just fired a whole bunch of great designers who were working on government services.
