"classical studies memes for hellenistic teens" is the absolute funniest thing on internet ever (unto me), but it has zero alt text ever so per my own policy i can never share it. seems a bit echo-narcissus doesn't it

my favorite sign today was a plain handwritten one reading, "He doesn't even have a dog."

Just wrapped up the No Kings rally here in Everett.

Thank you for being out there, peacefully protesting, and standing up to authoritarianism.

"...it did not take long for the myth of “Akromiya” to be debunked. I know, because I was the one who debunked it."

Inventing Antifa

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

In an orange room, there is a doorway. In front of it four figures are seen congregating. One turns to leave. There’s a sense of isolation. The piece is made with oil pastels on paper. Art by Jason Thomas Pitzl.
