a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

And the more privilege you have, the more imperative to resist and waste their time. Every second you take their time and attention is a second they aren’t hurting someone w less privilege.

A word of advice: Any time someone in a fascist-leaning regime says, "we can do this the easy way, or we can do it the hard way," make them do it the hard way. There is literally no benefit to letting them have it easy, even if you know they will ultimately get their way.

Still Morning
2025

Photo taken from above and at an angle of a small table holding a white mug of light coffee, a paperback copy of Bruce Chatwin’s What Am I Doing Here, and a red glass vase w pink butterfly carnations and cream green butterfly rununcula on their last day, some petals dropping, some stems drooping, still glorious. Background is a bookshelf, visible left and right a chair back covered w a colorful tapestry and a chair arm in floral print. It’s morning snd the light reflects that.

I’m contemplating a call out/art project…let me introduce you to a few houses I know well. That families used to live in.

Content Love Knowles @contentlove.bsky.social · 1d

So many zombie houses in my neighborhood (I live in Galindo in Austin, work in Bouldin/Zilker). You know the ones -they got over-monetized during the pandemic opportunist flipaganza to the point that no one would buy them and they can only rent at a great loss so they sit sadly vacant. So wrong!

I went on vacation recently for the first time in 3 years and 3 months. A lot happened since the last trip including 3 years sobriety, a life changing auto accident, and the rebuild into my present kinda awesome form. The trip was great and knocked some dust off. Already saving for the next one!

Photo of a sunset as seen from high up the hill in Papeete. Shot from the veranda of the home I was staying at. There is no hospitality like Polynesian hospitality. Foreground, wooden table top. Mid-ground - palm tree, lanai roof, lawn chair. Background: Maxfield Parrish blue sky above tge purple, periwinkle, puce, and cantaloupe colored clouds just after the sun dipped below the horizon.

I have a rule about donating/selling clothes that don’t fit, but I make an exception for designer,extraordinary one offs, some evening wear.

Imagine my delight at unearthing a stash of fantastic vintage suits, day dresses, and Italian separates in my attic…all in my current size. Gonna wear ‘em!

Photo of clk wearing a gorgeous white with splashes of brightly colored flowers Italian designer day dress. Yep.

It's the classic authoritarian playbook: smear your opponents with baseless lies so that you can try to shut down peaceful, organized dissent.

We won't be intimidated. We won't be cowed. We won't bow down.

Sure, absolutely. Bill Burr, all those guys went to Riyadh to spread freedom of comedy the same way that the US invaded Afghanistan to bring feminism to Afghani women. Absolutely. For sure. That's why. You just keep telling yourself that.

There are 3 corps involved here: Sinclair and Nexstar (they’re competitors) won’t run it on (their) ABC affiliate stations, but it will tape, and rin elsewhere and be available online, ABC is Kimmel’s employer, they reinstated him.

Yeah okay opportunistically complicit is kind of its own thing I guess, although it smells a lot like complicit+stupidity it’s not the same as “happily complicit”

Also I say let’s eat them

Content Love Knowles @contentlove.bsky.social · 20d

Pre-complying w fascist ‘requests’ and orders falls into several distinct buckets:

Happily complicit who agree
Ignorant
Stupid
Fearful

There’s some cross over of course, am I missing any buckets here? Triage helps know the best tactics in each case, they are not the same.

the bone farmer, revisited | patreon.com/lubchansky

PANEL 1: A guy sporting a pin shaped like a monster leans over to a big glass tube full of skin in the close foreground.
GUY: Hey Geoff. I see you're not wearing a Bone Farmer memorial pin?

PANEL 2: GEOFF, the skin pile, starts to talk, over the shoulder of the GUY.
GEOFF: I mean, it'd be kind of tough to–
GUY: It's bone farmer memorial day.
GUY: We're all remembering all the good stuff he did.

PANEL 3: The GUY dabs away a tear.
GEOFF: Like what? Name one thing.
GUY: Shh! I'm remembering it all right now. Silently.

PANEL 4: THE GUY, dialing a phone.
GUY: It's like you don't even know the rules of the day?
GUY: I'm going to call the cops.
