AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

I get the feeling this won’t be the only time we see one of these nasty little buggers.

They said “science fair-style” and we took it seriously.

See you at the Chicago Waldorf School for the 40th Ward Dems candidate fair! ☺️
A blue trifold poster sits on a table. The center has a cutout of me and my cat, Heater, above a volunteer-painted outline of our logo. We are asking the Question “WHAT IF WE DIDN’T SUCK?”. On the right fold, we have a cutout that reads, “GOOD THINGS ARE POSSIBLE + WE DON’T HAVE TO SETTLE” above cutouts from our posters and lit. On the left fold, “PROCEDURE” outlines some of our campaign accomplishments. The Conclusion is the date of our election: March 17th.

I have suffered the atrocity of sunsets.
Scorched to the root
My red filaments burn and stand, a hand of wires.
Now I break up in pieces that fly about like clubs.”
Sylvia Plath (1962)

#Poetry. In response to the fire at #COP30, this felt appropriate to share. For This Burning World, collected in *Becoming Altar* available from asterismbooks.com
FOR THIS BURNING WORLD I want waterfeet to walk this burning world (where are the frogs?) marshes seethe, sedges grasses forbs blaze up, tall forests fall to fiery ground birds drop sizzling from seared horizons (where went the fishes, the cool mosses?) mouth wind-blistered skin spark-stung, I watch streams crackle and steam.... where are the frogs? (frogs who call the rain) Burning. with little hope I pray over my bluest socks all night long and in the morning still wet with prayer put them on, start walking.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

And they did.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'
