Happy with the Blackwing pencil goodie in this year’s Austin Film Festival bag. I think I spotted one of the pencils in E.B. White’s hand in Linklater’s Blue Moon tonight as well too, possibly?

“The artist Kara Walker has sculpted a disordered new centaur: an American centaur, American in its bones and in its burdens. Her centaur is tall, midstride but weary. It rattles its metal parts through American purgatory.”

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

I enjoyed this substack (link posted by Jeff Sharlet but written by someone else) about two old fogies continuing to give a damn. Camus reference here too, Piper!

"I mean, for example, growing up now, when anybody who knows the first thing about climate change knows that we don't have a rat's
chance in hell at getting out of this one. I've worked actively for the last twenty years on climate change issues. I'm not doing it because I think we're going to be successful. I'm doing it because you have to do it. I don't know whether we're going to be successful or not. Nobody knows." He paused, and in a softer voice asked,
"what's the choice?"
I asked if he had read Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. I had just read it for a religion class called "What Matters."
