“To be in favor of solitude is not to be against community or friendship or love. It’s not that being alone is better, just that without the experience of it we block ourselves from discovering something enormously beneficial, perhaps even vital, to selfhood. Who are you when you are not a friend, a partner, a lover, a sibling, a parent, a child? When no one is with you, what do you do, and do you do it differently than if someone was there? It’s hard to see someone fully when another person is always attached to them. More importantly, it’s hard for us to see our own selves if we’re not ever alone.”
— Amina Cain, A Horse at Night

Holy shit, an active duty American soldier set himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. Before he set himself on fire he introduced himself as "an active duty member of the U.S. Airforce I will no longer be complicit in genocide." Then repeated "free Palestine" while he was on fire. He did it while wearing his duty uniform too. There is footage of the act. I don't know how I feel about posting images of a man's self-immolation but it's such an unprecedented action to be almost unbelievable without visual evidence. Even with the several self-immolations that occurred on American soil during the Vietnam and Iraq wars, I don't think I can point to one undertaken by an active duty soldier. I will instead link to the Twitter post where it was first made public under the "more" cut below. It goes without saying that the image is graphic.

i feel really bad for mitski and the fact that the audiences who keep showing up to her shows don't have enough respect for her, or her craft, that they're calling her "mommy" and other names she doesn't like. they're interrupting her performance to be, overall, inappropriate towards her. to the point where she has stated multiple times that she doesn't like it, even calling out this behavior during her shows, and it won't stop. i don't know what this is a product of (poor concert etiquette, maybe?) but i find it veryyyy unfortunate
you know what it feels like kinda? like these people see mitski (and artists like ethel cain, even phoebe bridgers) as concepts instead of people. again, i don't know if it's projection, or fandom "silliness", or simply lack of respect in return for a viral moment (being disrespectful and recording it to gain attention on tiktok or twitter or whatever) but i wish it would end!!!
