What a horrible shame. ZARA does good work!!!
Their workshop on antiracism work had a big impact on me as an Ausländer teen. I had their mixer poster on my wall for years and it still often pops into my head when I'm unsure whether to speak up. 💔

Regarding the Pain of Others by Susan Sontag TW hanging
14. Regarding the Pain of Others - 5 ⭐
Long-form essay on photography of war - does it inspire us to action or just numb us? This was written in 2003 and the whole time I wished a 2026 followup was possible. Extremely insightful, but all arguments described are even "more" now. No easy answers.
"When a single teacher produces their own materials, recruits students, negotiates with school administrators, and runs a classroom without professional support or formally recognized qualifications — that is agency, yes. It is also a burden that comparable programs do not place on individuals."

Being a spectator of calamities taking place in another country is a quintessential modern experience, the cumulative offering by more than a century and a half's worth of those professional, specialized tourists known as journalists. Wars are now also living room sights and sounds. Information about what is happening elsewhere, called "news," features conflict and violence-"If it bleeds, it leads" runs the venerable guideline of tabloids and twenty-four-hour headline news shows to which the response is compassion, or indignation, or titillation, or approval, as each misery heaves into view.
Reading Sontag's Regarding the Pain of Others. Is there a sequel for 2026 when journalists are no longer necessary
Goodbye to All That by Robert Graves
13. Goodbye to All That - 5 ⭐
An autobiography, focused esp on Graves' military service during WWI. Extremely strong style (should I read I, Claudius?), very frank about the British character, the horrid boarding schools, and life at the front. Basically - it's a classic for good reason.
Morning! I'm reading Game Changer (the first Heated Rivalry book) but tbh I'm finding it really boring after the intense high stakes fantasy book I read last week 😂 Oh well
the devil just blinked
"Despite its Tolkien-inspired name, Earendil is not a tech company with fascist tendencies." Lmao thanks for addressing it openly, good luck tarrying in Arvernien!

From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.
One of the very best from Clickhole
Look we need someone to fill our quota of Anglos and Canadians bring good figure skaters with 'em so ...
Very much!!! Drew Sarich as Jesus and Serkan Kaya as Judas = 😍
Also to my relief, my dad (it was my present for his 70th) did too, although he did also point out e.g. mistakes that the guitarist made in Blood Money. *I'm* nitpicky about JCS, but I have nothing on the real Ukrainians in the family 😂
As the director joked at the beginning, "On Easter you either go to church or to watch Jesus Christ Superstar" lmfao thassme
Just did the pilgrimage to watch Drew Sarich perform Gethsemane for Easter (for the 3rd timeeeee), can't believe it'll be at least a year till I watch him do it live againnn

War crimes announced on Easter by a "Christian" president.
Heyya Womble. I started House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky cos I just couldn't wait after finishing book 1!!! 😍😍😍😍

Happy Easter and Chag Pesach sameach

I'm pleased to announce that the Second Edition of my book, Statistics in Corpus Linguistics Research, is now available from Routledge.
Traditional approaches focused on significance tests have often been difficult for linguistics researchers to visualise.
City of Lost Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky
11. City of Lost Chances - 5 ⭐
A city under occupation, ready to boil over into insurrection. Requires some work - I returned the audio cos I couldn't follow the factions - but oh WOW is it rewarding. Tension ratcheted beautifully. The creepy-ass dancing to death haunted noble district is esp A+
moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!
Oh I really liked the first one! Spread the word about the second one -
Now if you look at this chart *points to chart where line goes down* things look bad. But with one simple trick *turns chart upside down so line goes up* not so bad now right?
