I DO NOT CONSENT.

Without consent, there is only violence.

I do not consent to fascism, surveillance, people recording without explicit permission, policing, prisons, facial recognition, biometric theft, I CE, borders,

On 24-31 Oct 2025, 10 died in Marcos’s drug war, 2x the count from last week. Among them, 1 HVI in Sulu & 2 victims w/ no known ties (a cop in an op & a friend of a pusher). The 2 pushers killed in Cebu keep it as the top hotspot w/ 46 killings.

I hesitated posting this, but maybe it’s time to share so it serves its original purpose: an internal accounting, to bookend this part of my life.

Palestinians mourned 15-year-old Yamen Samed Hamed, killed in an Israeli raid on Thursday in the occupied West Bank town of Silwad.

Israeli forces reportedly blocked an ambulance from initially reaching the boy injured in the raid that used live rounds, tear gas, and stun grenades.

You know you deserve a custom story.
Bsky is closing in to 40 million users, I just need 20 of them to commission me to write a story for them.

🙃
Desperate times, and all that -- I still need to raise money for rent and CC bills.

So offering another #commission: custom stories with you in them - this could be #horror #fantasy or even Slice of life.

Help me boost this post! (DM for discount?)
