Auch sonst sind europäische Landschaftsgemälde oder japanische Holzschnitte eine tolle Quelle für stilistisch sehr unterschiedlich umgesetzte, aber allesamt gut erkennbare Wolken: https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/clouds-in-art-stratus-cumulus-cirrus/

Vom schottischen Meteorologen, Fotografen und Maler George Aubourne Clarke etwa existieren zahlreiche sehr akkurate Bilder von diversen Wolken/Bewölkungstypen, aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert: https://artcollection.dcms.gov.uk/person/clarke-george-aubourne/

Wer Wolken in all ihrer Vielfalt mag und es fürchterlich findet, wie etwa schöne Wellen- und Streifenmuster oder Schäfchenwolken von dumpfen HAARP-Gläubigen als Beweise für Geoengineering und Künstlichkeit verunglimpft werden:
Es gibt wirklich viele historische Abbildungen, wo sich all diese Wolkenformationen schon finden, und die eigentlich alle überzeugen sollten.

Please remember them. Remember them, and then remember what they died for: fighting a much larger danger. Remember what they were fighting, •see• it, and •act•.

Do not let their deaths be in vain by making their deaths the only thing you see.

All of this is why I get uncomfortable with a certain kind of focus on the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the mistaken narrative that focus can create.

Don’t get me wrong: we •should• focus on those murders. We should mourn them. Alex was one of the nurses who cared for my father-in-law when he was in intensive care at the VA. My wife remembers how gentle he was, what a good listener. They were my neighbors. Please remember them both.

The KKK but with a budget the size of Russia’s military. Running mass detention camps.

Think about that for a minute.

Think about what it could mean, what it •already is•:

Into the abyss

The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

All of what’s happening in Minneapolis is deeply rooted in US history. And in Minneapolis and St. Paul history specifically: Read about the Rondo neighborhood, for example. It’s no accident the the flagship lake in the City of Lakes was named after the vice president of the Confederacy until just a few years ago. Don’t get too excited about making saints of us all here.

It’s crucial for us to recognize that historical precedent. It’s also crucial for us to recognize the extreme new danger of the present moment.

My neighbors definitely do not think this is more of the same. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look at how many Somali and Latin-American restaurants were thriving in November and now are closed, or getting almost no business if they are taking the risk of staying open. Look at how many kids are staying home from school — regardless of legal status, just because of the color of their family’s skin. Look at how many families are living in houses filled with dirty laundry because they won’t even take the risk of leaving the house to go to the laundromat.

My neighbors are living in •terror•.

If it’s more of the same, why did all of this suddenly change in the last two months?
