This week’s quote. Because knowledge is power. Education is freedom, and teaching can be an act of rebellion and revolution.

Today’s quote of the week is brought to you by the inimitable Dante. Slightly edited for work appropriateness. Apathy in the face of cruelty is no less a crime than the act itself.

Hey folks, just a reminder that that Republican in your life will absolutely murder you if the president tells them to do it. When the president tells them to do it. #resist #donotgogently #neverletthemtakeyoutoasecondlocation #icegenocide

i had an intense & almost kinda dark viewing experience at the Rijks museum today. an eerily vast collection of conquest memorabilia. Heavy shit.

But my favorite work of art I saw today was right outside the museum. This guy with a megaphone yelling Dylan Thomas’s poetry. #DoNotGoGently

This week’s quote. Go forth and wield hope like a weapon friends.

“The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him.”
―Dylan Thomas

To hell with the fascists! Not caring one bit about this censure. And neither should you, Kind Sir.

Thank you for being a stand out, resisting; a leader to emulate. This speech of lies was too much to bear, knowing what they’ve done and are doing to our beloved Democracy.

Australian Senate passes a social media ban for young children that will soon be a world-first law The House has yet to endorse opposition amendments made in the Senate. But that is a formality since the government has already agreed they will pass.

Then they came for me.

I’m writing a persuasive speech for my term final. It’s about book banning. I might have been nicer about it before Nov 5th. I am coming out swinging now. Buckle up for a real uncomfy history lesson kids. You’re gonna learn why we do not EVER encourage book bans.
