Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.
A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

no post so validated as the “getting kicked in the head by a horse every day” one, they all have deep & obvious brain trauma, any society built on both justice & kindness there’d be little rubber room jobs to keep them all busy & out of the way

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Just thinking of this article I read about telephone operators in Germany, where if you felt like it, you could just give her an electric shock over the phone
rationalized spaces in which the rapid, precise motions of hundreds of operators had to be closely co-ordinated to minimize disruption or breakdown of service. Pressure to improve efficiency was so great that, between 1910 and 1921, the number of connections operators were expected to make increased from 150 to 500 per hour with little appreciable change in equipment. Working constantly at the limit of their capacities, operators were also kept under constant surveillance; their speed in answering calls was timed and monitored, as were their interactions with callers. Impatient callers (usually men) were equipped with buttons that, when pressed, sent a current through the line, drawing the operator’s attention with a sharp, unpleasant crackling noise or a slight shock. The following anecdote, which describes an incident
that occurred in 1902 during the installation of a new switchboard at the
Siemens company’s headquarters in Berlin, illustrates what might happen
under such circumstances:

here at UVA our FedSoc interim president is trying to maneuver everyone into accepting some version but the faculty is dead set against & the legislature has threatened to pull state support if the board signs on to any version. would expect massive, campus-emptying work stoppages if they proceed
