Here are links to my Daily Posts from the archives, in case you missed them, and some interesting articles. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
It has been a very rough week (health, work, a world that appears to be collapsing, and all the rest), so this week’s update is shorter than usual. Sometimes I feel like a rampaging dinosaur, sometimes I feel like I’m being eaten by a rampaging dinosaur. I imagine it’s the same for all of us. Happy weekend.
Links!
“Bitches of Capitalism: My Speech on International Working Women’s Day, March 8”
“Gay Baiting Politicians: on Gavin Newsom and Lori Lightfoot,” an interview with Toshio Meronek at Sad Francisco
A reminder, “Sally Mann Is Not That Interesting,” ICYMI.
“On Class, Identity, and the Working Class” (apparently, this needs to be on repeat, as the so-called left keeps failing to create an actual agenda).
Elsewhere on the Web!
Gavin Newsom is showing his true colours. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
On Democracy Now, a necessary critique of USAID (it’s a start, and we need many more)
Lily Sánchez writes that “The Left Needs to Move Bernie Sanders.”
The Democrats have moved on from pink hats! They’re in pink suits now! Trump is quaking in his shoes!
Yet another pointless, meaningless cancellation in the world of YA lit.
Representative Al Green was the only Democrat who loudly protested Trump’s address. To be frank, I’m not among those who thinks this was an exceptional moment—I’m tired of politicians whose revolutionary ardour is only sparked whenever Trump is back in power (which, at this rate, will be every eight years). But it’s worth noting. As is the fact that ten Democrats joined Republicans in censuring him. Among them was Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, whom I shall always think of as the “banana Rep.”
Gerard Manley Hopkins, “God’s Grandeur” (“And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil…”)
And if you missed it, here’s last week’s Update.
