#imixwhatilike: #KamalaHarris, #ZohranMamdani and the Absence of U.S. Electoral Choices

This was a fun way to celebrate #jaredball ‘s birthday.

The statement I didn’t finish was, “My mom came to take the book [yesterday].”

I also struggle to say here, “I have retired from being serious.”

This was a post-screening conversation of the great, #Marxist #Marxist-oriented #CivilRightsMovement documentary #AtTheRiverIStand. The setting was the Nordic Labour Film Festival #NordicLabourFilmFestival in Norway.

See the documentary under this video.

Now We Are Thirteen!

Wow! This blog is almost 15 years old! My first (or second) non-“Schoolhouse Rock”-oriented anniversary, since I’ve run out! I’m so happy to remember, and subsequently to present, this substitute! Thanks, as always, Saswat, for this blog!

That Time We Visited The Barakas

Posted on January 26, 2019 by toddpanther

I don’t remember what year this was, but I do recall how kind the Barakas were. Long had I promised to take Saswat to meet the Barakas, so when his father came to visit from India, the time was more than right. Saswat’s dad is a major poet and activist, and was very happy to meet them. Lez Edmond never missed a good time, and knew Mr. Baraka for decades. So, stars properly aligned, we all got together and Saswat, the creator of this blog, pulled out his camcorder.

Okay, since I have now officially run out of “Schoolhouse Rock” songs, I have a whole year to figure out how to publicly celebrate this macro-blog’s birthday!

Anyway, THANKS, SASWAT!
