My favorite bit is that she could have avoided the injury altogether, but instead chose to postpone it because she knew that thinking of herself as entirely above causality would lead her down a dark path.

sometimes i think about Granny Weatherwax catching a sword in her hand out of the air and smiling smugly at her attacker

Related: when plugging in a guitar or other electric instrument, experienced players will loop the cable through the strap to keep it secured in case it comes unplugged, rather than plugging directly into the instrument.

Coiling an instrument cable (or any electrical cable) by wrapping around your forearm/elbow is a sure sign of an amateur

Every moment of freedom that Assata Shakur experienced was a victory over the pigs in this country who desperately wanted her dead or in prison, and we should rejoice in that fact as we mourn her passing

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk.

He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.
