I made a thing! Linen t-shirt from the recycling center freebie room + embroidery threads I had lying around (probably thrifted) + a piece of fabric from an old t-shirt for facing.

Inspired by a shirt worn by @susankayequinn

"move purposefully and fix things" hand embroidered on a black, slightly translucent t-shirt. The embroidery is in cursive and in three different colors. The shirt is being worn by a white person with boobs.
The back side of the same embroidery, with a piece of black jersey fabric for support.

“The spirit of liberty is not merely, as multitudes imagine, a jealousy of our own particular rights, but a respect for the rights of others, and an unwillingness that any man, whether high or low, should be wronged and trampled under foot.”

(1780-1842) American Unitarian preacher

Quotation by William Ellery Channing

End Israeli Apartheid

Nearly 5,000 Palestinians in Gaza have had one or more limbs amputated as a result of injuries sustained in Israeli attacks.
The months-long blockade means medical equipment that could help amputees is running out.
Alongside the devastated healthcare system, patients battle with deep psychological trauma.
Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kahlout spoke to young Palestinian amputees in Gaza City.

I was playing with gpt-oss:20b, the new OpenAI model you can download and run yourself.

Thought I would do a quick experiment, ask it the same question about two different groups.

You don't have to read the whole thing. Just look at how much work the AI has to do to not say something insensitive about black people, vs how it treats white people.

Now imagine how much computer time this is wasting, just to give you a less-correct answer.

The "K-shape" economy is back. It's one of the most important charts to understand the state of the economy.

The wealthy are still spending, although there has been some moderation. Meanwhile the bottom 80% are tapped out. Their spending is basically in line w/inflation.

Whether the US ends up in a recession will depend almost entirely on whether the top 10 to 20% of earners keep spending.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/20…

#usa #economy

This is a line chart titled "The U.S. economy depends on consumption by the rich." The chart plots the percentage growth in personal outlays versus inflation from 2020 to mid-2025. There are four lines on the chart: Top 20% (Green line): This line shows the spending growth of the wealthiest Americans. It starts flat in 2020, drops slightly below zero, and then rises sharply from late 2020, peaking at over 50% growth in early 2024. It ends slightly below that peak, at around 48% growth, in 2025. Middle Class (Blue line): This line represents the spending growth of the middle class. It starts near zero, dips sharply into negative territory in 2020-2021, a period labeled "Pandemic savings." It then rises steadily, crossing the inflation line in mid-2022 and peaking at about 25% growth in late 2023. It ends in 2025 at a growth rate similar to inflation. A label points to the period of its rapid increase as "Revenge spending." Bottom 40% (Dark Blue line): This line shows spending growth for the lowest-income Americans. It follows a similar path to the middle-class line, with a sharp dip in 2020-2021, a rapid rise, and a peak around 25% in late 2023. It also ends in 2025 at a growth rate similar to inflation. Inflation (Red line): This line represents the inflation rate. It starts near zero in 2020, rises steadily, and ends in 2025 at a growth rate of about 25%.

Ho hum: I sent my walking boots off to be resoled the other day, just had a phone call saying that they need more work than I expected (meaning it’ll be less than £100 less than the cost of a new pair), and the membrane (which they can’t fix) is wearing thin around the big toe: “How often do you get wet feet?”

To which the answer is “never”, but the question suggests I will be soon. That plus a ten week lead time before they get to the top of the pile, and I’ve just ordered a new pair and told him to stick them in the recycling bin.

_Texas Redistricting Exposes Democrat Hypocrisy_

"When the Texas House Democrats bolted from Austin in earlier this month, they did so with the swagger of martyrs. They cast their self-imposed exile as a noble stand against injustice, a heroic resistance to gerrymandering. But like most political theatre, the drama was better lit than written. What these Democrats inadvertently illuminated was not Republican overreach but their own decades-long monopoly on congressional cartography in the states they dominate. In trying to indict Texas, they put their own crimes on trial."

[F]or those living with chronic illness or disability in Gaza, hunger is
not separate from their condition — it is made worse by it. Medications have disappeared. Treatments have stopped. And basic survival has become a daily battle. Under total blockade, diabetes or a thyroid condition can become a death sentence.
…
For diabetics, skipping meals without adjusting medication can trigger a dangerous cycle known as iatrogenic hypoglycemia — caused not just by the disease, but by inadequate care.
...
“Thyroid patients need special nutrition — fish and eggs are vital to compensate for deficiencies in the body. But here, almost all we have access to are canned and preserved foods that don’t meet those needs.”
...
“When I don’t eat enough, my heart acts up more,” she said. “Even when I take the pill, my body doesn’t respond the same. I get dizzy. I feel like I’m fading.”

Malnutrition weakens her body’s ability to absorb medicine. Dehydration and exhaustion trigger more episodes. She must ration what little food, medicine, and strength she has left.

I honestly can't even comprehend these censorious bastards these days. The internet was probably the biggest driving force of globalism. Everyone is aware that the lefties that are pushing these censorship laws and policies are globalists. They probably orgasm at the thought of one world government. But then they go and nerf the one tool that would have brought them globalism by itself, without them doing anything at all.
I know these people are not particularly smart, but this really is a brain dead move.

Would you rather be a slave in heaven or a king in hell?

This is a famous question, that I used to consider ridiculous, but the way modern politicians treat it is outright schizophrenic. While they sing the glory of globalism, our politicians say we cannot leave the EU because "we get more money out of surrounding nations".

That is ridiculous, and when it comes to the internet, this split becomes even more obvious. They NEED to control all of the data on their territory, as if they didn't understand that lack of territory is the entire point.

I just realized this point, when I was thinking of the old Netflix. It had it's library so shattered, that a VPN was a requirement for you to use it in any meaningful way.

Well, from there.... We were already just a single step away from national nets being the only option.

Sorry for sperging out.

I just concider the internet to be literally as important as the moon landing, when it comes to pushing the idea, that humanity could move on into the future.

I often joke, that as a child, I was politically a Star-trekkie. But that meant, that humanity could move on from racism and unite nations.

BLM completely disproved the first illusion, and it broke me for a decade. Now, they're about to break the 2nd illusion.

Commemoration
Atomic Bomb Viewing Parties: A Fad Lost to Time
by Steve Bombomarx
Once upon a crisp Nevada dawn, when the roosters were irradiated and the martinis still glowed from the night before, Americans did what they do best: turned existential dread into spectacle and called it a party.
Yes, friends and fallout-fetishists, there was a time—not so long ago—that people packed into convertibles and lounge chairs in the desert outside Las Vegas, wore sunglasses at night (because Ray-Bans weren’t just for style), and toasted the end of the world with highballs and optimism.
These were the atomic bomb viewing parties:
A peculiarly American pastime where the mushroom cloud wasn’t a warning—it was entertainment.
“Pull up a chaise longue, Dorothy, they’re about to drop the 15-kiloton special!”

From the 1950s into the early '60s, tourists booked hotel rooms with "mushroom cloud views." The Desert Inn became the Ritz of Radioactivity. Guests would rise early, don sunglasses and silk robes, and line the windows for the main event—cocktails in hand, hangovers in progress.
And for those seeking more than just a visual thrill, the high-rise honeymoon suites became launchpads of their own.
Yes, the Mile High Club had a desert chapter—members living on the edge, chasing the thrill of a bang that came with a shock wave. Nothing like a little atmospheric detonation to put the boom in boom-boom.

The Logic Went Like This:
• It’s for science!
• It’s for national security!
• It’s happening anyway, so we might as well have a ball.

One could imagine Plato, if dragged forward through time and handed a daiquiri, staring at the horizon and muttering, “These are not shadows on the cave wall. This is the cave wall melting.”

But Vegas leaned in.
There were “Dawn Bomb” cocktails and Miss Atomic Blast pageants.
One showgirl, adorned in a mushroom-cloud tutu, became the patron saint of American denial.
Eventually, the party ended.
Turns out, the best souvenirs were radioactive isotopes.
Milk got a little spicy.
Hair got a little thin.
Children, a little too luminous.
And the government—realizing the PR optics of glowing toddlers—began doing what it does best:
Classifying. Disappearing. Disclaiming.
Today, we speak in hushed tones of Chernobyl and Fukushima—but almost never of Yucca martinis at sunrise, or of that odd moment in time when the most destructive force in human history was the backdrop for a conga line.
Steve Bombomarx’s Rule #47:
If humanity finds a way to dress up annihilation with sequins and sell it with a side of fries, it will.
And so it did.
Coda, for the kids who never knew:
Imagine TikTok with a tactical warhead filter.
Imagine Coachella, but instead of a bass drop—it’s the crust of the earth rippling.
Now imagine your grandparents applauding it from a chaise lounge while sipping a Sidecar.
History is strange.
Americans are stranger.
And the bomb?
Still ticking, somewhere deep in our collective psyche, where spectacle and shadow meet.
