a molecular transaction which sparks and ignites so many grains of pure possibility that the narrative substrate of reality undergoes a qualitative change

there's a phenomenon (i think mainly of juliana huxtable) where at a certain point, all caps begins to read less like shouting and more like something carved in stone, Romanesque, a bald utterance, a direct message to be received unambiguously... It has a different relationship with time, I think.
must read
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

would there be any substantive difference between vance and newsom? i guess it's different approaches to economics and foreign policy but in either case comes down to technoauthoritarian ecofascism?

you avoid the trap of "trans women are women because women is a meaningless term" which re-inscribes a centering of cisness by positioning "femaleness (sex)" as "more real" by talking about social structure + embodiment + desire + subjectivity in negotiating womanhood & manhood & heterosexualism

this strikes me as one of the more important (read: possibly even effective) pieces of its kind in recent memory
“The collapse of the AI bubble is going to be ugly…AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector & tech monopolists run amok.“

Read this article by @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy. Whether you agree with it all or not, it’s important.

not the first time, but maybe the first time i've really been aware of it in my lifetime - it often feels like the uprising in 2020 convinced electeds all across the board that people caring for each other and organizing in care and solidarity is the scariest thing of all
It’s so fucking infantilizing to be told over and over about ignoring bait, like we’re all chomping at the bit for a fight or something

What I wouldn’t give for just a single elected to have our back instead of this shit that implies we are some unruly mob in need of constant checking

The level of consistent, everyday organizing and resistance to the state, outside of and beyond any particular movement or flash point, distributed across the entirety of the social landscape, is by far the highest it's ever been in my lifetime

anyway, I got worked up with them too and admitted to crying a little bit at least once a day at this point, that it’s good, and that you need to get it out because there will be a day where there will be no time to spare tears. We are going to have lists with names.

One of the things that has actually made me more socialist is reading the history of the civil war because you learn, through well documented primary sources, how much radical republicanism and reconstruction was betrayed, before the war even finished, because of liberal capitalist imperialism.

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

@catfitzpatrick.net Gendertrash From Hell is amazing. Seeing how organizing used to work has given me a lot of hope and ideas, but seeing that many things seem to have not changed sucks. Mostly, “theory mutilates surgery liberates” has started to radically shift my perspective on a lot of things.

It Was A Blacked Out Blur But I’m Pretty Sure It Ruled: America’s self-imposed lost decade 2008-2016
Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Groundhog Day:

I wanna hear more about Bill the gay waiter who paints toy soldiers. Did Phil learn his story by sleeping with him? Also, if the Bill is painting Warhammer figures and is "gay" what are the chances "he" is really a man?

Much to consider.

Anyway samsara entraps us all.

Just realized i wrote a hybrid poem essay on how narrative opens possibilities and forecloses them wow so true thank you for this reading!
10. Pre-transition childhood is also the focus of Winona Meridian Marks’ hybrid poem-essay “Sackcloth Ashes Opals Pearls,” which explores how narrative opens possibilities and forecloses them. An urgent argument for trans lit & a strong closer for @lilacperil.bsky.social's first anth:
Issue 01: TABOO
When the fact of our existence is taboo, what do trans people still not want to talk about, even amongst ourselves? 30+ trans writers and artists...

America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.

The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.
