p.s. Great job calling in daddy sheriff to drive his giant government-funded patrol vehicle over the #ClimateCrisis protest, so you could drive your private car into one of the most sensitive ecosystems in the world.

This lovely Musta Pispala graffiti at Pyynikintori (Tampere, Finland) was spotted when going from train station to Pispala!

(and photo is cleaned with Systemli metadata cleaner. That's such a nice tool online!)

I had heard about there being non-alcoholic bars now due to the counter-cultural shift, but I don't know where to find one. Any ideas? I live near D.C. #Food #Bars #Counterculture

Hi. Had trouble sleeping last night so...

The Years that Shook the City

riffing off of "Season of the Witch" (which I haven't read in years) this is my quick and dirty attempt to construct a timeline of events in the San Francisco Bay Area between the Summer of Love and the White Night Riots, more or less - very tumultuous years here

I've included events from the wider world (and slightly wider timeframe) that seem relevant.

And I'm soliciting suggestions for other stuff to include.

Part II of "California Dreamin'," on Homo Vitruvius

"Though Arnie and I were too young for Mario Savio and the Free Speech Movement to be recalled as anything other than hallowed history, the People’s Park protests, with National Guard troops in the streets, had roiled the city only months before. That was the tumultuous atmosphere into which we arrived."

"Why Don’t We Sing This Song All Together"

"The world, it need be said, contradicts itself all the time, every day, even every moment — consider the oscillations of the sub-atomic neutral B meson particle, for instance . . . So people picked and chose, it was all a fearful muddle in the Age of Aquarius, and by August of 1969, Joan Didion had lost the thread of the story.”

Ladbroke Grove, 1967-78 : ‘Cries from the Midnight Circus' - Nigel Cross essay (& 2007 2CD compilation) https://www.terrascope.co.uk/Features/LadbrokeGrove.htm #LadbrokeGrove #CounterCulture

🎬 #HunterSThompson arrived in Woody Creek, CO in 1969 and was #home; he lived and wrote there for 45 years.

#Aspen was "The Hippie Capital of the World" but the fascists were trying to harsh their buzz and make the town respectable for the rich folks moving in.

In 1970, Hunter ran for Sheriff!

"Fear and Loathing in Aspen" (2021) is a fictionalized account of that time and place—a place now rep'd by #LaurenBoebert. 🙄

I’m not a royalist and didn’t waste any of my time yesterday tuning in to watch the sickening display of opulence aka the coronation on tv (I gave the whole ceremony a miss) but I must admit, I quite like this pop art piece of a young Prince Charles by Mr Brainwash.
