*tries to organize my thoughts*
*remembers i'm not in school and therefore beholden to neither heaven nor hell nor any man's grading system*
*joyously shredding & tossing all my carefully arranged 3x5 mental notecards into the air like so much beige confetti. raising my arms in victory, cheering raucously until i accidentally inhale bits of homemade confetti*
(*coughing up itty bits of paper like a cat evicting a hairball with a firm understanding of tenants' rights*) wait wat happens next

French TV journalist having a hard time trying to get woman in the street to comment on Macron's latest speech yesterday
Protesters organised casserolades (aka banging on pots and pans) in front of city halls across the country at 8pm, when Macron was speaking, to symbolically drown out his voice. Later that evening, Macron was filmed singing a song with some 'random people' in a street in Paris, trying to show he can go out and meet people and have fun because protesters don't exist. The people he was singing with (members of a choir, some of whom are 'alt-right-leaning') were using a folk song app created by far-right activists that was criticised a few months ago for hosting a Spanish fascist anthem & Third Reich military marches.
The government's response was that the President "couldn't know the background of the people he met that night." Maybe if he wants to avoid being associated with the far-right (that's a big if, I know), Macron should keep in mind that with the kinds of strategies and positioning his government has adopted lately, people in the street who welcome him with open arms and are proud to be filmed with him have a higher than average likelihood of supporting fascism.
#genre hier darmanin qui dit qu'il faut sanctionner les gens au RSA et aujourd'hui le maire pour qui fraudeur = maghrébin...#also the far-right ppl who made that song lyric app got 40K€ of public funding from the ministry of culture#our government is 'questioning' public funding for the human rights league but not this#so yeah this is just 1 thing out of the avalanche of bullshit the government keeps unleashing these days#i could have made a post about the minister of the interior; a known rapist; saying#that french people are angry about the reform but ''they swallowed it''#that was yesterday; this week is going well so far#cool thing that happened last week is that the film director who won the césar des lycéens award#made a speech in the presence of the minister of education in which he said#''it must be hard to be minister of education for a president whose words and actions reflect the opposite#of the values school is supposed to teach the youth: contempt rather than respect; dictating rather than dialoguing'' (etc)#also last week when macron went to notre-dame and of course forbade protests in the area#so protesters hopped on a boat and protested on the seine next to notre-dame#frpol

plutionium jazz is in fact fake lmao
I knew it! Atomic gardening on the other hand is real!
#one thing i love abt the 40s and 50s is that even in their slang they'd use 'radioactive' as 'cool'#idk there's something sort of charming sort of scary how nuclear physics made it into pop culture and shaped American culture as a whole due#to the cold war and post-WWII attempt to manipulate the public into thinking 'nukes are cool actually' by ingraning it into everyday life#(Atoms for Peace).#pro-nuclear propaganda is insane bc they'd use all these everyday useful aspects of nuclear physics like nuclear energy and then fund it#and use their findings to make weapons like its so twisted#sorry for the ramble#asks#anon

there is a parliamentary petition to fully fund trove. trove are one of the most valuable resources for historians, archaeologists, heritage workers and anybody interested in australian history, a veritable treasure trove (sorry) of newspapers, historic maps, images, and sounds, all available for free - but it is currently going to run out of funding in july. trove needs funding from the federal government to continue functioning, let alone continue in its mission of digitisation. if you're australian, please sign the petition and encourage the government to keep the servers running at the national library
#auspol#the lnp gave the awm 500 million to build a new and buy a bunch of planes and helicopters#but every other national cultural and heritage institution is struggling to keep its lights on 🙃#there are other petitions to fund trove on on the aph site (three in total I think)#but this is the one that's got the most signatures and is the one being kicked around at my museum at least

I am mohammed ayyad of Gazans, living in very difficult conditions because of the war that the Gaza Strip is under. Since the outbreak of the war on the seventh of October we have been evacuating .
Then the journey of suffering and separation began,because my children were separated and evacuated from our home without covering or clothes., From here they became infected with diseases, and what increased our fatigue was the constant upbringing due to the different areas in which we were displaced, as we were displaced 9 times, and this was very expensive, the last of which was the 9th of this August from Hamad Town. In addition to that, we have lived in the summer season in a tent that did not exceed three meters, closed with nylon, so it is like an agricultural greenhouse atmosphere. It is very hot. All in all, we live difficult days that no human beings can afford
We have no work because of the war, and we do not have any kind of money and this is accompanied by a crazy and horrible rise in prices.
Although water is not suitable for drinking, this is the cause of many diseases
The last suffering is that we are out of Hamad without taking our purposes or our tents and now we are searching the earth in the roads and our children and our elderly parents are suffering..So we use direct donation including what they can or share links fully so people can know our tragedy and pain. Remember a small contribution can make a difference in the lives of many children who are dealing with their health condition all. Leave their details and make them happy with your generous contribution.
Please help Mohammed Ayyad and his family
