DAFilms + Taiwan International Documentary Festival are running a collaborative free week-long online screening of eight documentaries from Taiwan's Green Team (1986-1990) guerrilla media collective, which captured massive social movements + government violence throughout their active period. The one about successfully fighting off DuPont is next on my list.

Incredible footage, exactly zero of which I'd seen before.

what's a good thank you for a 300th person?

I also co-authored a piece with Ngakiya Camara about today's shutdown of Boeing, near St. Charles, Missouri, carried out by Dissenters and other groups acting in solidarity with Palestine. https://truthout.org/articles/palestine-solidarity-activists-block-boeings-doors-to-stop-delivery-of-bombs/

Again bringing up my proposal to ban statues of people in favor of statues of mollusks

Just saw a car with a sticker that said "novice driver" and I like that because it has a sort of sorcerer's apprentice vibe

Didn't have time this week to read the paper my advisor wanted me to read about "time poverty", that's the whole joke

Went to see a documentary about the organizing and resistance of a village in the Sanrizuka Struggle (nga.gov/calendar/film-programs) and it was a good reminder of what solidarity in struggle can look like. Have been feeling very atomized and alienated lately and it's good to remember this is a structural dynamic and other ways exist!!

happy new Mountain Goats album day to all who celebrate

Update: the person who inspired this tweet just announced on IG that he has a book deal for a book about...birds!! And suddenly it all makes sense.

Honestly I am probably being too cynical about this but one of the bummers of NYC hustle culture is the need to monetize hobbies

extremely hipster self care 

bringing my favorite coffee beans when I visit my mom because the costco brand dark roast she swears by tends to be too much for me, making my own little pour-overs is very bougie but also a little piece of home away from home
