Best thing this week

Fierce Planet Posted on July 23, 2020 by jnfrJuly 23, 2020

An excellent song to have playing in your head… I was buried alive, but I’m still breathing. I don’t know what tomorrow may bring, but I’ve got a feeling…

How can you run when you know?

Fierce Planet Posted on May 4, 2020 by jnfrMay 5, 2020

I was in high school in Toledo, Ohio, when this happened. 50 years ago today. Tin soldiers and Nixon coming. We’re finally on our own. This summer I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio. Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down. Should have been done long ago. What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? Jerry Casale, founding member of the band Devo, was a student at Kent State during the protests. He has written an essay on the events of that day for Rolling Stone. Hat tip to Amanda Marcotte for … Continue reading →

My mood today

Fierce Planet Posted on March 4, 2020 by jnfrMarch 4, 2020

Just listening to this over and over… They’d say I hustled Put in the work They wouldn’t shake their heads And question how much of this I deserve What I was wearing, if I was rude Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves. I’m so sick of running as fast as I can. Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man.

All the best

Fierce Planet Posted on December 29, 2019 by jnfrDecember 29, 2019

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble — John Lewis (@repjohnlewis) June 27, 2018

May they survive, and thrive

Here’s a good explanation of Rojava, and why it was unique. Turkish attack on Syria endangers a remarkable democratic experiment by the Kurds …According to Turkish president Recep Erdogan, Turkey’s goal is to create a buffer zone separating Syria’s Kurds from the Turkish border. But his country’s attack will do much more than that. If successful, it will destroy the most full-fledged democracy the Middle East has yet to see…. The Kurds call their autonomous region in Syria “Rojava,” meaning “the land where the sun sets.”… Rojava would be an exceptional society almost anywhere. Rojava’s charter guarantees freedom of expression … Continue reading →

The New Colossus

Fierce Planet Posted on August 13, 2019 by jnfrAugust 13, 2019

A poem by Emma Lazarus. Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost … Continue reading →
