what is happening now isn't small or temporary // I grew up in a New York City completely transformed and defined by resistance to the Vietnam War // this generation right here and those holding hands with them will grow in the same kind of light // Palestine is freeing us all

on top of scars that generations will carry, we will have to sit through decades of teary "where did we go wrong?" culture whose watery gestures will be the evidence of how little the answer mattered to the people who will reluctantly ask the question only when optics demand it

students explicitly want focus on Gaza and not on them but it is worth mentioning that the world they have built at these encampments is sweeter and more efficient and kinder than anything the police have ever invested in so of course the cops reacted with pure negating violence

Two mix tapes that Steve Albini sent me in 1984 after I wrote about Big Black in my fanzine Hit the Trail. (I was 16 or 17.) Incredible: first time that I heard Ivor Cutler, Wipers, Scratch Acid, Friction, Slovenly, Cravats, etc., etc. What a sweetheart.

How long will it take to dismantle cynical deployments of "antisemitism"? The House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) operated from 1938 to 1975. See below for lifespan of a discredited term and how it tracks government investment in that term. (Late period revival tho!)

cosplay accusations against protesters recall a phrase—"all you have to change is everything," which is either liberating or terrifying; and rejecting the responsibility of change involves a fierce projection that turns people into the static objects one hopes against hope to be
