We have only one story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves of good and evil. And it occurs to me that evil must constantly re-spawn, while good, while virtue, is immortal. Vice has always a new fresh young face, while virtue is venerable as nothing else in the world is.
John Steinbeck (1902-1968) American writer
East of Eden, ch. 34 (1952)More about this quote: wist.info/steinbeck-john/83944…

The Wealth Defense Industry and the Working-Class Republic: What Equity Means Here
Henry Demarest Lloyd's 1894 Wealth Against Commonwealth made the case that liberty produces wealth, and wealth destroys liberty. The question 132 years later is whether equity against the one percent can still be won inside a system they pay to keep tilted. Equity against the one percent describes parity of political voice, of legal protection, of access to courts and schools and air and water and a livable wage, with no implication that fortunes themselves must be equal. The republic was built on that equality of standing, however imperfectly executed and however brutally suspended along racial and gender lines. The wealth concentration of the past forty years has retired the idea entirely. […] -

Today's issue of The Gods and their Croziers is out: Conall, the (possibly) Summertime Fionn.
This one is very delayed, and perhaps not as well written as it could be: my laptop died. However, I've included an array of Kings, Saints, and a Knight, with names and feast days and mythic details that mark them as being related.

In this week's episode, we tried to create a #myth inspired by #GreekMythology for the #constellation #camelopardalis
While ours were (maybe) a little mid, the Oracle (#AI) paragraph had us like:

details! Odysseus' armour is based on a mix of archaic style & earlier bronze age armour, the waves' decorative forms on elements found in black-figure ancient Greek ceramics. The cracking ship is a reference to the 2nd journey past, when his ship is wrecked #TheOdyssey #myth #art

I have said this before but I believe its worth repeating (probably again and again)...
Let us all stand for #Unityindiversity on a planetary scale, beyond national sovereignty. A now outmoded model of governance & the main barrier to rule of international law. #universaleducation #universalequality #planetaryjustice will develop only when #patriarchalcapitalism and domination systems are replaced with partnership.
Put simply I believe patriotism i.e. pride & connection to the land you choose as yours is good. Nationalism is not the same thing. Why because #Sovereignty is a #myth & barrier to rule of law. States can exist without it & can be #autonomous. -
