I read "The Parable of the Sofa" bc @pluralistic recommended it and the pun made me smile

And now I feel like a Civic Hero bc I dropped off the old couch cushion at my excellent local upholstery shop 💪

Here's the essay: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/06/01/Parable-of-the-Sofa

And for people in #Boston, the shop is Ecujimo in Brookline Village

Parable of the Sofa

^{ongoing by Tim Bray}

Last weekend, Israel bombed #Rafah’s humanitarian safe zone, murdering over 45 people. The majority were children, women, and elderly.

The U.S. made these bombs. Our lawmakers voted to send them to Israel.

To those in power, we say: Where is the Red Line?

And we demand: No More Money for Massacre!

Join us in grief, rage, and determination as we rally in #cambridgema on Sunday June 2 to demand our elected officials hear us.
