A friend sent me this picture a vendor had up in a market in Porto & I kept trying to figure out why it felt so familiar.

I was an art handler for years & years & I loved it outside the pay & the lack of benefits & the hours & the fact that too many curators were deluded uninteresting assholes & the overall exploitation, but tools are cool. Though right after I left, my boss cut off three of her fingers on a table saw.

Textured title wall with a sliver of a torn flier on it. Towards the wider bottom portion of the remaining slip of paper are a lowercase "s" and then "l" in an Old English style font. Aligned underneath them the same letters are repeated.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

In ongoing fight w/ vigilante policing a parking lot that's unenforced "2hr" public spots (been used not abused for yrs). Ppl just been walking away from them, so they've escalated to red warning stickers that're annoying to get off. Put one on my driver's side windshield. Nation of petty tyrants. 🙄

3. There are always unseen consequences for your actions even if you think you've cleanly gotten away with it. I'm not saying there is an inherent justice or even karma to the universe, but funny shit does happen all the time. Try honing yourself on the trials you face to better master what you can.

tcharli sez @tcharli.bsky.social · 1d

& a lotta people who want to mirror that are going to have to 1. realize they are not permitted to such luxuries by reason of birth & that makes them far more akin to the people whom they've been helping terrorize & kill 2. Having no consequences for your actions is not an enviable position. Grow up

Their whole movement is enamored w/ Trump because he can do anything he wants & get away with it. That's the model. Unfortunately, a great deal of Americans are childish enough to believe that a good life is never having to face consequences & they're not alone in that. It's USA cultural myth dogma.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

"Sometimes I Think" - Tim Dlugos

It's not too late to change. I can't get
enough. I've had enough. I can't take it another minute. I need a change of scenery. God is dead. Marxism is dead. Allende was too soft on the middle class. I ought to be a painter. I want it all. I've been spoiled. I'll never overcome my male ego. I'm glad to be a man. I want to run for political office. I'm a potential Presidential assassin. I'm crazy for living in New York. This is the most beautiful city on earth. I'd like to live on the Cape. I'm a great big phony. I've been incredibly lucky. Luck is the quality the third-rate attribute to the genuinely talented. I'm a vampire of other people's emotions. I'm a vampire. My relatives are beyond the pale. My relatives are the normal ones. I fall apart too easily. Bishop Sheen was right. I should go to confession. I've made nothing but sacrilegious communions since I learned to jerk off twenty years ago. I'd like to live in a developing country. It's my fault that I broke up with my last lover. I'm a latent alcoholic.

I'm an alcoholic. I'm in perfect control
of my drinking. If I'm worried about it, I'm probably a potential alcoholic at least. I try too hard. It's not worth having if it doesn't
fall into my lap. It requires a grand gesture. I need a drink. It's time for a nap. It's time for sex with another total stranger. I
bate sex. Nothing whatsoever is wrong with liking pornography. I'd like speed. I'd like heroin. I'd like Paris. I don't like any of my old friends anymore. I'm an elitist. I'm a snob. I'm "broadminded" in the most annoying liberal way. It's my right to know the Third Fatima Secret. My palm shows that I'm bitter. I'm a paragon of mental health compared to lots of the people I know. I'll end up in jail. I'll die in jail. I'll die a suicide. I'm free to do what I want. I know what I want.

Is the Blockbuster being looted for VHS tapes? Have they captured Borders? Is Circuit City gonna be okay?

Chicken little leads the flock right to the enterprising wolf. Illustration from Henny Penny or, as it is better known in the US where CNN is flagrantly using their platform to lead people astray for influence and money, Chicken Little.
"There are several Western versions of the story, of which the best-known concerns a chick which believes that the sky is falling when an acorn falls on its head. The chick decides to tell the king and, on its journey, meets other animals which join it in the quest. After this point, there are many endings. In the most familiar, a fox invites them to its lair and then eats them all." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henny_Penny

On this day where librarians consider the closing of Baker & Taylor, I would like to remind you that Sandy Berman still walks this earth and today is his birthday.

www.sanfordberman.org

Welcome to the Sanford Berman website devoted to the work of librarian Sanford Berman who created an innovative, radical and inclusive catalog which used terms we use when looking for information instead of the 19th century language of the Library of Congress Subject Headings. Berman worked for the Hennepin County library from 1973 until 1999. Sandy continues to create subject headings and works for political and social justice.

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found.

That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.
