Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.
Alt-Txt: Two people stand before multi-color strips of paper with text on them that stretch down an entire wall and onto the floor. The title of the installation "I Agree" appear in all caps on the wall, too.

This assault the sanctuary of our libraries and the open access they provide to diverse knowledge and debate and cultural diversity is sinister, depressing, and calls for pushback!
Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads
Anecdotal evidence suggests a rise in requests to take books off shelves, particularly LGBTQ+ titles

The Guardian, "Israel to cut off electricity in Gaza"

Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which pertains to the protection of civilians in times of war, explicitly prohibits collective punishment

Concerned? WTF?
Remember this:

31.78% voted for Trump
30.84% voted for Harris
1.06% voted third party
36.33% did not vote

More Americans voted for someone other than Trump.

NOT a landslide.
NOT a mandate.

We're not going anywhere.
We're just going to get louder, Motherfuckers.

Disappointed to learn that all Newcastle upon Tyne Labour MPs voted against the very well drafted #terminally ill #assisted death with #dignity bill this afternoon, but pleased (from lived experience) that humanity prevailed, 330 v 275

I find it discomfiting to witness MPs, theologians, some scholars (e.g. The Conversation today) gain privileged access to media debate when this is about humanity, not ideology. This is why I am sharing the evidence from lived experience, compassion & love. @dignityindying.org.uk #deathwithdignity

Dad wanted to stay home, with family. There was no coercion. It was his decision. Never would I have dissuaded him or denied him the compassion of DWD, for selfish grief. It was a poignant parting, my parents singing and reciting poetry. Dad slipped peacefully away shortly after oral medication.

My parents emigrated to US West Coast in 1980s. I visited regularly from England. They chose Oregon for retirement for pro-choice values (respecting feminist daughters and their own stubborn independence). With a terminal diagnosis, Dad feared losing control, his capacity denied

#Deathwithdignity The Assisted Dying bill (England & Wales) aligns with 1997 Oregon Death with Dignity Act. DWD gave my Dad the right to choose where & when, after terminal cancer diagnosis and ineffective palliative care, he could end further suffering in 2016. He was a proud Yorkshireman
