People protesting in Portland against the federal show of force are dressing up as inflatable animals. Here's why.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest. There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day. What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid. It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Social scientists have been arguing for decades that race and gender cannot be viewed through the teleological lens of progress, and never in my lifetime has that been more clear and important to understand than now.

Représenter la Terre sur une feuille de papier ? Gerardus Mercator l’a fait en 1569.
Mais derrière chaque carte se cache un regard : qui est au centre, qui est en marge, qui domine et qui disparaît.

Sick and tired of people wanting to defend “western civilisation” especially when they are also attacking arts and humanities in the universities.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.
