Everything is not lost. And all is not OK. Know that the tense space between those two extremes is where systems change direction. Feel the fear listen to its message: stay awake, stay alert. But make space if you can for your creativity and your longing. Which are as real as the fear.

I found this a really illuminating thread on what demonstrations do and why they matter.
In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I was lucky to see Jane Goodall speak many years ago during my undergrad. She started off with a chimp call, and it reverberated around the theatre. We’ve lost a legend.

This is a devastating read
This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.
He Grew Obsessed With an AI Chatbot. Then He Vanished in the Ozarks
Jon Ganz committed a terrible crime in his youth, but he survived prison, fell in love, and started over. His new life unraveled in a way nobody could have predicted.

Highly recommend reading and following Patty, today and every day.
