I spent the morning at @scsunde Sarah Cameron Sunde's 36.5 / New York Estuary. A Durational Performance with the Sea.

A moving work. Happening until 8:06pm in Queens New York and simultaneously around the world including in Aotearoa.

Time is indeed short! Love @Anthrop_Review for thinking through these vital issues.

"We need the affective and cognitive power of art to challenge bad memes and Framed Questions, and to galvanise us against Radical Inertia. Time is short. But we have to hold our nerve."

A hearing may mean a special session – a chance to get the BPRA to Hochul’s desk before 2023.

If the Democrats in Albany act as they should, New Yorkers will begin to get the government they deserve.

Amiri Baraka made films, hosted radio shows, and built a mass communications studio to raise Black consciousness and prepare Black and Puerto Rican kids to diversify US media production. TOMORROW I talk about some recently recovered archival materials. https://t.co/abMyh9r75U

From the Lexicon: "Tragic Triumph"

[Andrew Gorin @andrewmgorin]

From a student: "I finished reading How to Blow up a Pipeline yesterday—the chapters on climate despair and fatalism were exactly what I needed to read right now."

Where is the How To Blow Up a Pipeline for gun violence (non-rhetorical question)?
