me at my best / to my detriment

Against my will I am compelled by the new StreetEasy Renaissance painting ad campaign. It makes me feel afraid (not of renting, which I already was, but of images).

a lot of people, places, institutions, animals, etc don't realize they are my muse, but they are & the muses create the seasons

Prosecutors hold enormous power: they can brand these protesters with a criminal record for life—or let them go.

me being sweet: “I can’t leave, I’m your own personal legal observer”

“what struck me most about those who are protesting is how long they waited. the restraint they showed. not the spontaneity, the restraint. they waited and waited for justice. and it didn’t come. no one talks about that...” - Toni Morrison

BREAKING: Palestinian and allied students filed a civil rights complaint today against Columbia University over NYPD arrests of 100+ students peacefully protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and 6+ months of discrimination on campus leading up to this moment. palestinelegal.org/news/2024/4/25…

BREAKING: President Biden just signed into law a bill that will effectively ban TikTok.

We'll keep saying it: This ban directly violates the First Amendment rights of the over 170 million Americans who use the platform.
