Denise Levertov

For the New Year, 1981

I have a small grain of hope-
one small crystal that gleams
clear colors out of transparency.

I need more.

I break off a fragment to send you.

Please take
this grain of a grain of hope
so that mine won't shrink.

Please share your fragment
so that yours will grow.

Only so, by division,
will hope increase,

like a clump of irises, which will cease to flower
unless you distribute
the clustered roots, unlikely source-
clumsy and earth-covered-
of grace.

from "An Atlas of the Difficult World," Adrienne Rich

A patriot is not a weapon. A patriot is one who wrestles for the
soul of her country
as she wrestles for her own being, for the soul of his country
(gazing through the great circle at Window Rock into the sheen
of the Viet Nam Wall)
as he wrestles for his own being. A patriot is a citizen trying to
wake
from the burnt-out dream of innocence, the nightmare
of the white general and the Black general posed in their
camouflage,
to remember her true country, remember his suffering land:
remember
that blessing and cursing and born as twins and separated at birth
to meet again in mourning
that the internal emigrant is the most homesick of all women and
of all men
that every flag that flies today is a cry of pain
Where are we moored?
What are the bindings?
What behooves us?

another example of YIKES/racist grok (although yes, correct, I do critique neo-Nazi George Lincoln Rockwell and eugenicist Madison Grant)

CHRISTIAN IDENTITY IS A WHITE POWER THEOLOGY, not just identifying as Christian. Christian Identity believes that white people are the lost tribe of Israel and all people of color and Jewish people are descended from beasts or from Satan. (1)

Hegseth says this is "historically correct."

Among Us is not the kind of assassin game I was expecting an IRL shooter to have been playing a lot, to be honest. As a person who is generally very concerned about assassin video games, I can tell you that this one is allowed at my house.

Real question: Is andrew tate studying for the SATs

Picture of super horrible andrew tate with a wall of guns and a grimace because I think these words are pretty hard. Caption: "My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor"

Just to remind us that social media was always snarky, from the UW Madison Cardinal in 1960 💀

famously you can't study white supremacy, misogyny, fascism, information warfare, etc, and also have a critique of the democratic party or its policy positions or, like, class more broadly
