Mario Savio giving a speech at Berkeley in 1964 during an occupation of the university against the Vietnam war.

There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus -- and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all!!

#one the speeches of all time for me #i prefer the version that includes the prior minute of the speech where hes stuttering through a comparison of college students and #raw material converted to luxury goods for sale and how fucked up that is #anyways the fsm activists were largely working class students radicalized while participating in the Freedom Rides so as always in america #its about race and class. it is always aboht race and class.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM OF THE MODERN AGE

the tiniest preview of my (reworked!) comic for Shortbox Comic Fair, coming in autumn.

a trans life shaped by power, escape, love, grief. a story can change, restart. memory is the past we're allowed/forced to keep. so: is this a story, or time itself? a choice made for the first time is only made once.

i really do love that in the world there are so many types of large mammalian predators that all look so different from eachother and are so beautiful and in north and south america instead of having a proliferation of these large mammalian predators we have One Big Cat

#i love you cougar i love you puma i love you fl panther i love you mountain lion #i love you the One Big Cat that has complete dominance of that specific ecological niche in two continents 💖

“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”

The original gouache painting with watercolor and ink is executed on a 1920s ledger page, just as captive Plains Indians did using colored pencils on lined ledger paper in the 1870s.
