  1. Years ago I wrote a small proposal about what we might pledge ourselves to that fits These Days. I've been adding links to relevant poems in the comments every so often. Have any reading on this general theme that you like?

  3. A quotation from James Baldwin

    It comes as a great shock around the age of 5, or 6, or 7, to discover that the flag to which you have pledged allegiance, along with everybody else, has not pledged allegiance to you.

    James Baldwin (1924-1987) American novelist, playwright, activist
    Speech (1965-02-17), Opening Comments, “The American Dream is at the Expense of the American Negro,” debate with William F. Buckley, Jr., Cambridge University, England

  4. A quotation from Peters, Ellis:

    «
    Those who go forth to the battle never return without holes in their ranks, like gaping wounds. Pity of all pities that those who lead never learn, and the few wise men among those who follow never quite avail to teach. But faith given and allegiance pledged are stronger than fear, thought Cadfael, and that, perha…

    “Mr. #Zuckerberg’s overtures come as the chief executive seeks to insulate #Meta — which owns #Facebook, #Instagram and #WhatsApp — from any potential blowback from the incoming administration.”

    No matter how powerful Meta may be, they still have to pledge #allegiance to Washington.

  6. Where Are You From

    After the disaster that was the election last week I saw a handful of people on various social media sites posting things that looked a little like this:

    Q: Are you from the United States of America?
    A: No, I’m from Massachusetts.

    Thinking back to the disaster that was the presidential election in 2016, I was thinking things like that all the time. I remember commenting that watching my country elect a fascist president instantly turned me into a states rights kinda guy who put my state, Massachusetts WAY ahead of my country.

    The way it felt in 2016 though… it was nothing compared to the way it feels now. I am not going to say that I am now a secessionist, but if New England, New York, and New Jersey wanted to make a go of it on their own, I’d be down with giving it a shot. You wouldn’t have to twist my arm very hard to get me on board. I would have to check out a map of election returns to see if we could maybe add Deleware and Maryland to the team. I know Virginia went for Harris, but that feels a little like a false flag to me, though that state has been voting Democrat more and more in recent years. I worry about including any state that can be described as Southern.

    Maybe this little Northeastern Alliance could work something out with the West coast, assuming the good folks in California, Oregon, and Washington State would want to join us in our brave new world.

    Again, I don’t feel as though I am a secessionist. After the bullshit demonstrated in the election last week though, I also no longer feel like an American. Any allegiance I feel at this point is to Massachusetts, not to the United States. If the rest of the country wants to embrace fascism let them. Leave me and my home state out of it.

  8. “Allegiance” is a musical set during the WWII Japanese American internment based on the experiences of George Takei. It’s the first Broadway musical created & directed by and starring a predominantly Asian American cast (youtu.be/5GWGhPp5eeU?si=CZ3sHm)

    As a former #OfficeManager for a #DialUp #ISP I don't make assumptions about the #Allegiance, #Ethnicity, or #GeoLocation of the particular #CyberCriminals lurking on the other side of that mouseclick.
