A lot of folks struggle with this idea:

If you turn some quality into an assault on people you don't like, you have communicated to the people you *do* like who have that quality that the only thing protecting them from the same treatment is that you favor them... and that's bigotry in a nutshell.

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This thread highlights a point I have been making for many years: the logic of authoritarianism and the logic of domestic abuse are exactly the same. It is only a difference of scale.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

A digital illustration of the character Moros from the video game Hades 2. The character is depicted from the waist up and from the side, staring thoughtfully towards the right side of the image. The illustration is in a painterly style but left unfinished at the bottom of the figure. The background is low contrast and depicts green branches and leaves.

And the long (German) thread on what is going on. This has been a three year uphill battle, thankful to see so much support now!
