A Berkeley Law professor assaulted a law student as she was speaking up about UC Berkeley’s ties to Israel’s genocide in Gaza at a dinner on the final night of Ramadan. The institution has over $2 million invested in weapons companies that supply Israel.

Jello in the pit. (Eastern Front outdoor punk rock festival in Berkeley, 1981) // Steve Harlow
The best thing about Biafra was that he was a fan.
This shot illustrates the more friendly nature of the pit at Eastern Front. Note that Jello's wearing aviator shades, which would be dangerous if it was a violent pit. Also the foreground guy in the black jacket holding a cigarette. At this point, in this area, it was casual.

BAY AREA RESIDENTS AGAINST PETROIMPERIALISM:
Tumblr media
From Richmond to Gaza — we won’t stand by as Chevron profits at the expense of Palestinian lives. Join us for a rally and protest at Gate 14 (Castro Way, at the 580 overpass) in Richmond to demand that:
Chevron must shut down the Tamar and Leviathan gas fields.
Chevron must divest from Israel and stop its complicity in apartheid.
Boycott Chevron until there is a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation of Palestine.
Chevron (and its subsidiaries) make billions running major gas operations off the coast of occupied Palestine. These massive gas fields provide the majority of the light and energy for Israel’s apartheid regime and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
In the words of Chevron CEO Mike Wirth: “[The genocide] doesn’t change our view on the development opportunities really at all… This is a long-term play. It’s a very, very large gas resource.”
Israel depends on stealing oil and gas resources from Palestine as it seeks to be an energy superpower in the region.
From Richmond to Palestine, communities have a right to steward their land and determine their future. But over the past three months, Israeli Occupation Forces have bombed hospitals, homes, and nurseries in Gaza, killing over 25,000 Palestinians and burying countless more under the rubble. The survivors are left to die slowly, as Israel cuts off access to food, clean water, and gas to 2.2 million people.
The remaining medical equipment that survives Israeli bombardment cannot be turned on. Because of the Israeli blockade on diesel and gasoline, families must flee to refugee camps and carry their injured loved ones to hospitals on foot. Mere miles away, Israel provides its own residents with an uninterrupted flow of warmth, light, medical care, and cooking fuel.
As Richmond and East Bay residents, as environmental justice organizers, as people of color and people of conscience, we say: enough is enough. Permanent ceasefire now. No more U.S funds for genocide. Not one penny more for corporations supporting this occupation.

(Fairfield, San Francisco Bay Area, California) Hi, my name is Nugget! I’m about 2-years-old and am told I’m sweet, smart, and silly in many ways. I love getting the zoomies and exploring any new places I can! I also love to be held and cuddled until I fall asleep. I will return the favor with love nibbles and kisses. I do well with kids, and I even like cats! I love carrots, apples, and strawberries and my spring greens!   My current living situation hasn’t been ideal, so a wonderful person has stepped in and is temporarily taking care of me. I would love a new home where I can run around and flop wherever my heart desires.   My rehoming fee is $20, and it comes with some supplies, like a round kennel and leftover food, hay, and toys. If you’re interested in meeting me, reach out to Lindsey at [email protected]. You can even schedule a meet and greet with me!

Staff Pick of the Week
The end of the semester and year is approaching quickly, so I feel that it is only appropriate that I discuss a book about the end times. My staff pick this week is Arne Wolf's (1929-2013) unique typographic version of the Revelation of St. John the Divine printed in Berkeley, California in an edition of 25 copies in 1996. Consisting of elements solely in red and black on cream paper, this book seems chaotic and confusing at times, as the reader constantly needs to change angles to read the text, while they are also bombarded with abstracted full-page illustrations. Wolf’s repetitious typographic schema emphasize the repetition in the text itself, which grounds the reader in the sometimes confusing, word-filled pages of his book, much like the end of an academic semester!
Arne Wolf was a calligrapher, artist and teacher who made a variety of books, usually using solely black and red type, which can be seen throughout the pages of this book.
Tumblr media
Designed and produced by Wolf himself, this book was handset from 20th Century metal type and various wood types and printed on Rives Lightweight with binding by John DeMerritt.
Our copy is a gift from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick, which also donated two other books by Wolf: Genesis: The Generations of Adam and The First Joke of Willingdone from Finnegans Wake, which also highlight his preferred method of typographic creation consisting of bold types and a consistent color scheme.
