James Ensor (Belgian, 1860-1949), Le désespoir de Pierrot (Pierrot le jaloux) [The Despair of Pierrot (Pierrot the jealous)], 1892. Oil on canvas, 117 x 166.6 cm.
So since it’s being reported that someone just tried to light themselves on fire outside of Trump’s hotel in D.C. tonight, just want to give y'all a reminder that that’s what set off the Arab Spring. Not some organized resistance. But a sole act of desperation. While I would LOVE to see a large collectivized response to our situation, if you want change, please fight for it now, but if not, others are gonna turn to desperate measures either way.
