“Years do odd things to identity.” A poem by Ursula K. Le Guin.
ALT Leaves BY URSULA K. LE GUIN Years do odd things to identity. What does it mean to say I am that child in the photograph at Kishamish in 1935? Might as well say I am the shadow of a leaf of the acacia tree felled seventy years ago moving on the page the child reads. Might as well say I am the words she read or the words I wrote in other years, flicker of shade and sunlight as the wind moves through the leaves.

i’ve had this blurb from Ask Polly taped to every desk i’ve used for the last 10 years
My career advice is just do it. Make it. Say it. Bring it to life. Whatever it is. The crazier your idea, the bigger risk, but bigger reward. There are plenty of people who warn, even threaten, to keep you in control. The world is filled with the you shouldn't do that folks. They're not your audience, and the world is bigger than their echo chambers. You don't need their acceptance or permission. Just yours.

went to visit a friend who’s a ceramicist and works in a studio with no phone signal in a tiny yorkshire village. he doesn’t listen to podcasts or music, only occasionally uses the radio, and when I asked him what he thinks about all day he just said “well, pots mostly”

Filmmaking can never be ethical. You are stealing light and sound and putting it inside a little box. That is not nice

Arrest of Dr. Randall Sequeira and Shri Laxman Naik deserves unequivocal condemnation. They must be released forthwith.
Dr Randall has spent years providing health care to Adivasi communities living in the remote areas of Kalahandi and Rayagada.
Their struggle is for the protection of constitutionally guaranteed rights of Adivasi communities living in the areas notified under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution, against the illegal lease of bauxite mining rights to Vedanta and Adani Groups by the Odisha Government. This action is unconstitutional, patently illegal, and violative of the orders of the Supreme Court of India.

On 16 Oct around 11 pm, Odisha police picked up Dr Randall Sequeira and Laxman Naik without a warrant. Phones seized. Held overnight with no access to lawyers or family. Neither is named in the FIR. Dr Sequeira treats Adivasis in these hills. Laxman Naik is a Dalit leader of the Maa Mati Mali Surakhya Manch.
They now face attempt to murder, dacoity and Arms Act charges. Bail refused. Courts are on vacation until 27 October.
This is Fifth Schedule land. Kondh, Paraja and Dalit families have said no — these hills feed their streams, fields and the Indravati river. The Supreme Court upheld the same principle of gram sabha consent at Niyamgiri in 2013.
The state’s answer so far: 43 police cases and more than 100 people jailed in three years.
Every day these two spend in Rayagada jail is a warning to every village that resists.
Defending jal-jangal-jameen is not a crime.
Release Dr Randall Sequeira and Laxman Naik.
