sorry no more holidays named after men, just to be on the safe side. no buildings or statues either. it will save us work in the long run.
my proposal for equestrian statues is to remove the men and leave the horses.
@lzg add more horses even
@lzg Yes! Remove Stonewall Jackson, but leave Little Sorrel alone. He didn't do anything to anybody.
@lzg fewer equestrians, more equines
@lzg can we name everything after cats and dogs? That seems safe. So many good dogs and legendary cats.
@lzg can we just leave the cone in Glasgow?
@petko the horse can wear the cone
@petko Is this cone now a permanent feature?
@lydiaconwell how do you mean is it a permanent feature?
@petko @lzg We'll allow Nelson to stay, but only if he wears the cone.

@petko

Is that the Duke of Wellybobs?

@lzg

@lzg we could make dogs from the men to give to the horses as company.
@lzg Glasgow has an equestrian statue of Queen Victoria. Should she be removed as well?
@lzg !!  this is the /best/ idea

@lzg

Even just one statue of a horse riding a man would redress the imbalance somewhat...

@lzg haha oh no, it's a well actually. there's a song about this one: Time (You and I) - Khruangbin
@lzg No graven images, unless they’re of animals, is a rule I can get behind.
@lzg @slampoud Brilliant! I’m sure I’m missing many more categories but can we go further? No more mountains or trees defaced by men’s names.
@lzg To be fair tho, we might be depriving ourselves of some cathartic vandalism later on down the line.

@lzg Not sure about the statues. They had one in San Francisco they took down - it showed a scantily clad Native American sitting with a pioneer and a priest looming over him. It was named "early days" or whatnot.

I'd have kept the statue but put one next to it named "later days": it would have the Native American holding a surf board and chilling out, with the pioneer in a 3-peice suit in handcuffs, and the priest in handcuffs.

To misquote Lenin, you can't make art without breaking eggs.

@lzg May I still have my birthday? I don't even have a party or a dinner for it, I promise.
@luc0x61 @lzg You realise that you are making it sound like you abuse 12 year old girls, right? This is obviously a post about Cesar whatever his name is.
@drgroftehauge @lzg Honestly, I don't know if I offended anyone: my words were just a joke on the single post I read. Maybe there's something serious behind that, I'm sorry. 🤷‍♂️
@lzg Not sure if "Melania Trump Plaza" is so much better but I'm not going to stop you
@lzg no people in general - use endangered animals and nature which has given us so much 🙏
@lzg Merry Marymas has a nice ring to it.
