Tui
A large, dark nectar feeder endemic to New Zealand. Easily distinguished by two curled white feather tufts (“poi”) visible on the throat. Tail and wings have blue, purple, and green iridescence. Found throughout much of New Zealand, including Auckland, Kermadec, and Chatham Islands, though mostly absent from Canterbury. Favors native forest and scrub, also venturing into suburban parks, farmland, and rural gardens. Often detected by its unique voice consisting of melodious notes intermixed with croaks, coughs, clicks, and wheezes. Also listen for its noisy whirring flight. Similar to male Eurasian Blackbird, but easily identified by its white throat feathers and iridescence. Song can be easily confused with that of a bellbird, but listen for distinct loud coughs, grunts, and wheezes in Tui song.

thrown out of the screening of Late Night With The Devil for shouting "time for Malch Madness" every time David Dastmalchian was on screen

As Israel builds a highway bisecting Gaza and the U.S. installs a port (which the IDF will defend), it's clear that the infrastructure for permanent occupation is being created. There's no move to 'end the conflict,' only open-ended counterinsurgency as a means of vacating Gaza.
to the exclusively men who feel obligated to tell me when there's a typo: don't worry I just spotted it lol

I am about to turn 37 so naturally I am thinking about how in the movie "To Gillian on her 37th Birthday" the 37 year old protagonist played by Peter Gallagher has a beach house and a boat and I'm pretty sure tenure in a literature department which I struggle to believe could buy two houses and a boat even in the 1990s
Worried I'm going to get thrown out of the movie theater during Dune 2 for chanting "Worm! Worm! Worm!" every time a worm isn't on screen

Catherine Malabou's new text on Proudhon looks interesting:
La propriété privée est d’abord un vol de mémoire et de sens qui transforme l’asservissement – immémorial et continu – en une assurance d’émancipation ... « Je suis anarchiste », conclut-il.

https://dingdingding.org/issue-2/terraforms-or-how-to-talk-about-the-weather/ just re-read this essay I wrote in 2018 and while I think it turned out OK I don't love that the general vibes have not changed even a little bit since I wrote it
I felt like a dork signing on when it's not like anyone was asking me to participate in projects anymore as I slide into cultural irrelevance but now I guess I did the right thing
LOL it finally happened I got asked to participate in a project by a German arts org and I had to say "have you engaged with the Strike Germany demands"

Karl Marx did not spend multiple pages developing an unnecessarily involved case study about linens and coats that cleverly mocks Ricardo just for you to just call everything "enshittification" young lady
