Να και μια φορά που θα συμφωνήσω απολύτως με τα γραφόμενα σε αλλά σόσιαλ για τον Γαρμπή...

Πράγματι αν δεν υπήρχε ο Ελεύθερος Τύπος ειδικα την δεκαετία του 80 στην Αθήνα και οι -οχι πάντα πετυχημένες- μεταφράσεις του με το ψευδώνυμο Αλεξίου, σίγουρα ο ιδεολογικός χώρος της Αναρχίας θα ήταν φτωχότερος ...όπως τώρα δηλαδή. Υπήρξε φάρος μόρφωσης, σημείο συναντήσεων, μέρος για να αφήσεις δωρεάν ή με συμβολική τιμή το φανζίν σου ή το πολιτικό κόμικ σου, το περιοδικό απ την επαρχιακή σου πόλη ακόμα και την ηχογραφημένη σου ντέμο κασέτα με τα επαναστατικά σου τραγούδια (συνήθως πάνκ).
Ναι μερικές φορές ηταν μουτζούφλης και τα είχε με όλους και όλα και εμείς οι τότε πιτσιρικάδες τον τσιγκλάγαμε να μας πει και να μάθουμε τις ιδεολογικές διάφορες των Εξαρχείων και του χώρου.

Προσωπικά αν και είχε συμβεί να κάτσω άπειρες ώρες στη ζωοδόχου πηγής, το μικρόβιο του αναρχισμού είχε προλάβει να μου το μεταδώσει ο Αργύρης ο Τσακαλίας, θείος των Ξηρών της 17Ν, ως καθηγητης θρησκευτικών στο Γυμνάσιο...στην "γιάφκα" του στην Τζαβέλλα όταν έγραφε το μανιφέστο των Συνολιστών...

Hannah Thomas, the Greens candidate at the 2025 federal election in the seat of Grayndler, was one of several protesters smashed by police this morning outside a local arms manufacturer.

It's unclear at this stage when NSW police will announce that they've investigated the incident and cleared themselves of responsibility.

An impressionist painting is more beautiful than a photograph of the same scene because the painting expresses much more than just physical reality.

These are some impressionist paintings of the American artist Fredric Michael Wood. It is said he often used family members, especially his daughters, as subjects.

He was no Monet but he did some good stuff.

Beauty is universal and can transcend any circumstance you are experiencing.

This is a feast for your eyes. You should view this in full screen mode.

It’s a good opportunity to celebrate not being blind and to thank God for your eyesight.

' ... an impatience with details, which puts a prize on approximation, a desperate craving for ‘respectability’ which leads to conformism, and all of that supported by a lazy authoritarianism and a diffident attitude to knowledge and things of the spirit because, where everyone is ‘tolerably’ ignorant, and things are ‘harmlessly’ uncertain, what passes for tolerance — but is in fact indifference — spreads around a sense of comfort.'

The #Genocide in #Gaza, or the End of the #Arab World
palestinechronicle.substack.co…
@palestine #gazagenocide #genocidecomplicity #Palestine #FreePalestine
"Edward Said, in a measured and exacting essay, recounted a pivotal moment: watching the signing of the Oslo Accords in New York, seated beside Mahmoud Darwish. Hearing Arafat, he thought he was listening to Rabin. He wrote that the shame was so deep he wished the earth would swallow him. He understood then: a threshold had been crossed.

Today, that threshold has become the norm. Gaza is no longer a diplomatic issue. It is a fault line: between memory and amnesia, morality and management, sovereignty and servitude.

The official Arab order has not faltered. It has abdicated. It no longer represents. It disables, surveils, and disciplines. It no longer thinks. It replicates.

This is not a crisis. It is a strategy. This is not a defeat. It is a doctrine: do not disturb the order. Preserve the flows. Silence the pain.

Palestine does not resist to exist. It resists to prevent the erasure of truth.

Gaza stands. Because if it falls, everything falls with it.

And those who abandon it today will answer. Not before a court, but before history."

The Genocide in Gaza, or the End of the Arab World

By Mohamed El Mokhtar

^{The Palestine Chronicle}

📢 A committee representing influential families in #gaza on Thursday rejected ISR Crime Minister Netanyahu's accusation that some aid entering the war-torn Palestinian territory was being looted by "KHamas"

"Gaza's tribal leaders affirmed that all aid is fully secured under their direct supervision and is being distributed exclusively through international agencies," the committee representing influential families said.

An explosive Israeli investigative report published Friday confirms that Israeli occupation forces have been deliberately killing Palestinian civilians gathering at humanitarian aid centers in Gaza without justification.

The Haaretz newspaper [..] revealed that military commanders gave orders last month to open fire on unarmed Palestinian crowds under the pretext of “dispersing” them—even though they posed no threat.

There have been shocking admissions in a report from Israeli newspaper Haaretz, quoting Israeli soldiers and officers saying they’d been given orders to shoot unarmed Palestinians who were seeking aid in order to disperse crowds.

The Israeli military and the GHF, which operates the aid distribution programme, have either denied or downplayed the fact that there are Palestinians getting killed while seeking aid.

Good morning. The sun is bright and cheery and the world around me is library-quiet, only bird song trilling through the air now and then.

I've watered the garden which is poised to become riotous but right now is "just" healthy. Corn has a race on its hands with the green beans, thank goodness once again they're bush beans not pole/vine this year.

I am 48 years old. I expect the next year will be a lot like the last, with high highs and low lows and I'll maybe grow a little wiser.

My plans today are to have a gentle morning (doing it!), eventually stir myself for a cardio and stretching workout at the Y, visit a local bookstore, walk the boardwalk to the big fiddle, do a little writing, do a little reading, cook some comfort food and sit in the backyard to watch the garden grow. So basically an ideal day*.

I hope you all have an ideal day customized to your tastes, too. That'd be a nice birthday gift, if lots other folks had a good day, too.

*excepting world events, but maybe the universe can supply some good news there, too? Never hurts to ask, I suppose....
