Malik Muhammad - read, keep an eye out for more news, and take action! 👀

Can't count on the feds *or* the states to make sure rights are respected.

Spread the word, give the powers that be an ear full, and keep building support for abolition (or reimagined public safety or root-and-stem reform or whatever you want to call it, also see community accountability). And more support among peoples to end apartheids & genocides. #justice #oregon #usa #palestine https://www.wewillfreeus.org/oregon-doc-appears-to-have-disappeared-portland-protester-malik-muhammad/

We Will Free Us

"Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall they be saved."

2 things come with leading - that is, doing ANYthing in public:

Sometimes, people are upset at you for opposite reasons. Reality is weird enough that each upset can be valid, *and* it can be valid that what you chose also made sense given your perspective. Juggling & reconciling complex incoming (and extant) considerations may not satisfy 💯 %.

Anyone attempting to lead will find themselves called on (implicitly, explicitly) to lead more, perhaps called on for leadership training. #leadership

".... We’ll have a Barterfaire, a Free Store, and a gathering space for connection, laughter, and the beautiful small moments that make mutual aid feel like magic.

If you’d like to help, share, donate, volunteer, or simply arrive with a heart open to community, you are welcome." #Eugene

Coming up tomorrow! At least a 50-50 chance I will show up.

Common Ground Swap Feast
@ Growers Market, 440 Willamette
6-9pm, April 3

"Bring something to barter if you can — an object, a skill, a creation.... Bring a friend who needs a soft place to land. Bring the spirit of sharing and see what opens for you.

This is not a potluck — it’s a community meal, offered freely, and nourished by many hands...."

Imagine a room full of blankets and tables covered in curious treasures: handmade things, useful things, beloved things ready for their next home. Imagine a Free Store where anyone may take what they need without trade. Imagine a warm community meal shared between strangers who will not be strangers by the time they leave.

What Time Reveals (11 Photos)

From buried mosaics to trees shaping themselves around bricks, these 11 artworks and urban phenomena show how time quietly alters the world around us. Featured in this collection: a Roman mosaic uncovered beneath modern London, living sculptures shaped by season, and a weathered bronze statue worn by human ritual. Nature, memory, decay—and renewal—are all etched into these moments. Historians often describe cities as “palimpsests” — places where older layers are never fully […]

Crips for eSIMS can NO LONGER send new eSIMs to Palestinians without internet!!!

Let's turn this right around. A five sponsors one eSIM for a month—and if you click "monthly," it's reliable connectivity for someone (and often their family or whole community). Make a difference: https://bit.ly/esimsUK

Starting from a post here yesterday, I have begun a project developing a list of different kinds of lists. It's gotten quite a bit longer than it started, and will certainly get even longer. At least one other project is likely to draw heavily from it. https://eqpa.wordpress.com/2026/03/31/lists/ #projects

EDIT: If you have list types that are missing from the list, please share them. The whole point is to keep making this, uh, list more complete.

Lists

I’ve been collecting and making lists much more consciously for the last few years. There are many particulars to what kinds of lists I work on most intensively — reading and/or writing. I in…
