Discworld QOTD, from Snuff “Everyone should occasionally break the law in some small and delightful way, Drumknott. It’s good for the hygiene of the brain.”

Floridians, creating and recreating Pride crosswalks with chalk. This principle in action. Good trouble! (Plus apparently they have cops parked keeping sharp eyes out for chalk, so at least they’re not helping harass immigrants or BIPOC or just folks they don’t like the look of).

I love Drumknott. TP saw Batman: The Animated Series and thought "I should do that"

this philosophy actually makes perfect sense from a man who organized crime in the city, on the basis that it was going to happen anyway so he might as well make sure it happened in a way he had some control over release valves are important!

Another one I haven't gotten to yet. I keep resisting buying because I know I have at least six in my storage unit waiting for me. And my library situation is just nuts.:(

Moreover (I think was PTerry's point) it's healthy to keep a reminder that illegal != immoral != no choice. Most people know this in a rather selfish way but eh, you gotta build anarchy with what you've got.
