pick#nokingsday just a helpful graphic of the gear Hong Kong protesters wore back in 2019. 📸 by Saša Petricic & my friends over on Instagram
pickMy beloved finally noticed this morning that everything in the world is terrible before I‘ve had a cup of coffee. Shout out to observant partners everywhere. ☕️#chatterday
May all the protesters stay safe today— if you don‘t have any homemade revolution, store-bought is fine. Reading books fights fascism, too.
Charles Taylor again today. It‘s brilliant & won lots of awards for it, all rightfully earned.

Who was the Intellectual Hobo?
The truth is, we don't know. What we do know is that from outside respectable society, a fierce cry emerged in the pages of 𝑯𝒐𝒃𝒐 𝑵𝒆𝒘𝒔. A wandering wizard writing under the names J. William Schweitzer, J. Merrill Leighton, The Baron, Von Sinbad, or Silky, combined Stirnerite egoism, Redbeardean rhetoric, and hobo myth-making into a series of scathing critiques of the wage system and respectable reform.

Francis Bacon once said that "...some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."
I believe I have embarked on a work of the third type, and I know it will take a long while to finish. But when that day comes, that book will truly be mine.
We owe subjection...to all kings, for that concerns their office; but we do not owe esteem... Let us make this concession to the political order: to suffer them patiently if they are unworthy, by commending their indifferent actions if their authority needs our support. But, our dealings over, it is not right to deny to justice and to our liberty the expression of our true feelings.
