"Because if I come out and try attack the richest, I will get attacked by all of the richest, the most powerful people in this country, in the world would attack me. Then the newspaper would attack me, everyone would attack me and it will become extremely difficult. And unless the general public [...] understands we need to deal with inequality to protect our living standards, to protect our homes, to protect our children, it will become impossible."

Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏

@muiren We watched Origins last night, excellent, just as we’d expected of Ava DuVernay, and are glad to see our local public library has Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents in multiple formats, including large print, sound recording, and book adaptation for young adults. montereylibrary.org/cgi-bin/ko

DVD cover for “Origin,” written and directed by Ava DuVernay; “a brilliant cinematic masterpiece” (wrote Dana Feldman, Forbes) starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. The art is a profile of the face of a Black woman, includlng her upper body; her image is part of a jigsaw puzzle; the back of her head is not visible, and some puzzle pieces are placed on her head and shoulder.

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Richard II

You wretches, detestable on land and sea; you who seek equality with lords are unworthy to live. Give this message to your colleagues: rustics you were and rustics you are still: you will remain in bondage, not as before but incomparably harsher. For as long as we live we will strive to suppress you, and your misery will be an example in the eyes of posterity. How ever, we will spare your lives if you remain faithful and loyal. Choose now which course you want to follow.

Richard II of England (1367-1400) King of England (1377-1399) [Richard of Bordeaux]
Speech (1381-06-22) to the peasant followers of Wat Tyler at Walthamstow, St Alban’s Chronicle

What do you mean 'primary demographic'?
I confront almost daily people behaving like I'm a fifth class citizen.
From medical specialists to colleagues and even acknowledged 'progressive' folks; whenever facing me, many clearly behave as they are part of the 'primary demographic' group.
Such attitudes to me reflects some form of nazism.
While most of the rest often assume what I need, wish, think or feel without even asking me.
So even-though I know that there are probably one or two snitches or fascists in the building, I'm glad to be back home.

As an English speaker, I try to go look up the lyrics to what moves my body. I want money + attention to flow to the artists.
I try to skim the internet to make sure they wouldn't hate most of what I love.

Sexy NSFW lyrics are a challenge to get right in context.

The shit Angela Rayner has to put with by being Working Class and a Woman.
Was it worth it Angela? Or are they just setting you up to fail because you're the Working Class Woman and that's your role in this society?

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Judith Martin

Etiquette systems of one kind or another govern all social intercourse, formal and informal, which is why faulty ones are able to do so much damage. A system that denies the innate human need for dignity to specific categories of people, typically the poor and the enslaved, fosters incendiary resentment.

Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
Star-Spangled Manners, ch. 1 (2003)

Even when people, corporations, groups, +/ nation-states seem to operate in good faith, let's not forget to seek out

who benefits from executive orders, laws, policies, decisions, + actions, etc.

Let's not forget the difference that can grow between the letter of the law + how it is really acted out IRL.
