Supernova26 WrapUp Final
YouTube video by Supernova International Ska Festival

Supernova International Ska Festival has been happening every September at Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA, since 2014.
I've been trying to go for years and this was the first year I attended.
Everything good about ska-derived music and not a single Tesla in the entire festival parking lot.
AMA.

My therapist recommended exploring more creative activities outside of law, business & politics.
Working more in visual arts is one of the things I'm trying, using a camera lucida setup (this one is Lucy) to do some sketching & watercolor.
My Archie McPhee Bibo alarm clock was the first subject.

Rod Dreher created an entire baroque ideology centered around denying he's gay, so this is a man who barely understands himself, let alone other people.

but again, genuinely hilarious (derogatory) for a guy whose father was a klansman to say "the presence of nazis in the republican party is because black people wouldn't shut up." oh, is that why nazis immediately began organizing in the wake of donald trump's 2016 victory too?

90 percent of my writing is about american law, history, constitutionalism and the overall political system. but dreher and the people like him (and frankly quite a few others) are basically incapable of seeing that.

but the other thing is that this passage makes it clear that rod dreher *cannot see anything about me other than my blackness.* it is so clear that in his mind, my professional output consists of this:

there is so much here to unpack. first and foremost, the absurd idea that it is the fault of people like me that there are nazis in the republican party. rod dreher is from LOUISIANA. he lived there when DAVID DUKE was running for president.

Also if these parties involved large numbers of coworkers & industry associates (even if afterhours) it can result in a hostile work environment. Just commenting on that. Not sure that anyone could do much abt it, but maybe it would've been best to avoid these...ugh. This makes me a little sick

Jonah Goldberg owes the country an apology for that book.
Goldberg and co successfully convinced them prior to MAGA that the real fascists are the socialists. They collapsed a fear of every threatening ideology of the 20th century into a singular threat of “the left”.
