Entering my Luddite era.

Not luddite as anti-technology. Luddite as in desiring to work in harmony and honesty with technology I understand and respect and maintain. Luddite as in fighting against those who warp it into monstrosity and leverage it against humanity and community and the common good.

They're all in horrific violation of our anti trust and anti cartel laws. The executives have personal criminal liability. Fine the hell out of them, break them up into small parts (ideally worker owned co-ops), and incorporate at every level of education the importance of never allowing it again.
They don't. They get taken apart, through every legal means possible including excluding them from federal contracts, SEC investigation, criminal investigation and tax investigation.
When the smoke clears and America begins to sober up from the fascist hunch punch that it's been drinking, how do all of the corporations that have sold us out come back from this?

Finished up this just now. Once I got about 1/3 through I couldn't set it down. Some of the creepiest body horror, vampire horror I've ever read. The historical context adds a thick layer of sadness for everything that has gone before. I'll have nightmares about prairie dogs and big fish tonite.

Surgery is 12/31. I have to get to and from appointments, cover wound care supplies that my insurance won’t, and make sure I’ve got $ for incidentals after I pay bills.

Helping a Palestinian farmer always seems like a good way to help keep indigenous control of Palestinian land.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohsen. Mohsen was a farmer prior to this. The occupation bulldozed his farm and took his home he is now living in a tent with his 75 year old mother who has cancer and his four small kids Ayham, 6, Mohammed, 5, Areej, 4 and Malak, 2.

You should grab this! Its a quick-yet-absurd read! Jeremy is great at the "what the hell did I just read?!" brand of horror.
Right now my horror novel BEDFELLOW is on sale for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long the sale will last.

A signal boost would be a colossal help.
