sign maker, searching for words
I watched this young man take a very long time, scrolling through his phone, looking for the words he needed to say.
Finally, he found what he wanted and began making a sign.

Orwell: a prophet
I read 1984 while I was in high school, when the dreaded year was still a decade in the future. The book scared me and I never reread it.Scenes from it are still vivid in my mind and the awful feeling Orwell’s words gave me has never completely left.
Anyway, here we are in 2026, a fucked-up year (already) and the words are, sadly, relevant. And even more frightening.

hands off
Hands off a lot of things, in addition to what she mentions on her sign.
Remember the other day when I wrote about the guy in a truck who dusted us with lots of black exhaust as he drove by? This woman gave notes on his performance – she said, “Oh, aren’t you tough?”

power to the people
…and here we are, back to my regular stuff.
I have now attended a total of three protests in my entire life, and this was the most recent one.
A guy in a giant pickup drove by, as slowly as he could, while copious amounts of thick black exhaust covered us. And a vehicle (a pickup, if you really want to know) full of white guys was stopped at the light where they took advantage of the timing to shout racist things at us.
But it was worth it to make our views and concerns seen by people who maybe didn’t realize what was – and is – happening.
