"Like Iceland itself, Sjón’s books are simultaneously tiny and huge, weird and normal, ancient and modern," @shamblanderson writes about the Icelandic novelist, whose wide-ranging work carries a whiff of the unreal.

“The book is filled with events so mundane that they would normally not demand attention. Yet Halldór Laxness’s able hand pushes the pen until they are infused with tender mystery that makes us care for them all.”—@Sjonorama reviews “A Parish Chronicle” 4columns.org/sjon/a-parish-c…

Be the voice of the people of Iran today for their freedom, their rights, and their dignity so that tomorrow, when your voice needs to be heard, others will rise to speak for you.

This is tonight in Tehran.
People have taken over the streets. Iran is still under a total blackout.
Only very few people have access to Starlink, and the regime is actively trying to jam and disrupt it.
Despite everything, the streets are alive and the world is being kept in the dark.
People are chanting:
"Until the mullahs are dead, this homeland will not be free."

[Journalist] "Do you, Mr. President, think that Vladimir Putin is taking advantage of the U.S. pause right now on intelligence and military aid to Ukraine?"
President Trump: "I actually think he's doing what anybody else would do. I think he's, I think he wants to get it stopped and settled, and I think he's hitting them harder than he's been hitting them. And I think probably anybody in that position would be doing that right now."

One man came out of that meeting today holding his head high. Draft dodger, sex offender, felon and habitual liar Trump is no match for the honourable war time president Zelensky. The White House has become a pigsty. Everything Comrade Trump touches turns into shit. #SlavaUkraini

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
ALT A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Today we celebrate the lives of our trans and non-binary siblings that were cut short 🏳️⚧️✨ Rest in Pride 💜 Rest in Power 💜 (based on a quote by Mother Jones) ‘Mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living’
"A convicted rapist becomes the 47th president of the United States" is not a headline I'm seeing anywhere.
The martyrs the world recognizes are those you yourself have killed and raped. The women and girls, the queer people, the fighters for freedom of speech and political activities, the artists, the ethnic minorities. You're a man of no honour, a murderer with blood stained teeth.
