I create because it feeds joy and helps maintain our spirits. I am alarmed by the book bans, the writing of hate into law all of the anti-woman anti-gay and anti-trans bills and efforts (to name a few) currently happening in Republican areas of the US - and as we're able to help each other keep our spirits we keep this fight for sustainable. Yes, let's keep an eye on the extremists nefarious words and deeds but let's remember to support each other - whoever we are - and sustain our human spirits in the process. That's how we win.

@film March 2: Children for

In Het Leesplankje [The Reading Lesson] (Johan van der Keuken, 1973), Amsterdam schoolchildren recite the words from a reading board (more about that in the alt text), while the traditional teaching method's pictures are interspersed with news photos of then-current events and children's drawings. This short, and life, is haunting and violent; schools should be safe for all. Even if only to escape in a book.
