Something we need to instill in our kids is civic responsibility.

Like, ok little dude. You are you and your body is yours. But you are also part of a community and you have to be a good neighbor. It is kind of your responsibility to care for other people.

“There is only one way to defeat fascism”

No. There are multiple ways, and we need pretty much all of them right now. The only tactics we don’t need are complacency, endless virtue signaling and infighting.

Everything else is kind of at least up for discussion.

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers.

Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

Hate leads to burnout, confusion, anxiety and frustration. Love is restorative. Seek justice because you love your neighbor, not because you hate your enemy. This is the key to organizing without falling into despair.

I keep seeing people be like “I’m useless. I have no skills. How can I help?”

So I made a list of skills to learn so we can start pulling labor away from the capitalists and into our own communities.

Holy moly. I'm trying to write an academic paper, and nearly every application I'm using is not only offering Generative AI as an option for writing, but *pushing it* -- pervading the design to the point where a simple misclick would make my content AI-generated. Here's why that's a problem. 🧵

NEW: In California, data center builders are erecting DIESEL generators to backstop AI computing.

Using a shortcut in regulations, the approved data centers will emit the same GHG as 284,390 cars, including diesel and grid-based electricity emissions. capitalandmain.com/as-californi...
As California AI Data Centers Grow, So Does Dirty Energy
Companies are using a shortcut to build ever larger centers that use diesel generators as an emergency power source.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

In the 1990s, I ran an underground zine of Gothic fiction & poetry called SHADOWDANCE (1991-1996)

Underground presses - run out of ppl’s basements, garages (in my case, dorm room) - were some of the only places to publish queer, anticapitalist, pagan, punk & countercultural material
