what's your random game peripheral thing that doesn't make any sense to have but if you came across one for a good deal you'd try to grab it?
mine is the ASCII Mission Stick for Sega Dreamcast, what a beautiful beast of a flight sim controller this is!

the ASCII ASC-1305MS Mission Stick controller for Dreamcast, with it's two raised off-white, mouse-like controllers with their own buttons and a small, awkwardly reversed setup for the face buttons, with the ABXY shifted to the left and the d-pad in the center + turbo buttons on the top left, set atop blue sheen

It’s making my heart so full to see folks taking to the streets and standing against fascism.

As you take action make sure you remember to mask up 😷! Not only will this help keep you safe from COVID, the flu, & other illnesses, masking is a surveillance deterrent.

waffles.

Digital illustration of a paIistinian woman, wounded with tears streaming down her face only to be blocked by a bright blue butterfly that covers her mouth and most of her face. Blue chains, explosions, waffles, blood, paIestinian flags being erased in the background- their color “bluing” out with the notification “deleted account” over them. Like and repost notifications scattered throughout different sized wrapped bodies. Over her head, a single dollar bill is wrung out, dripping blood down onto her. Below reads, “waffles.” Commentary on censorship.

This goes for all mental illness (including personality disorders)
Evil doesn't come from illness.
For example billionaires aren't sociopaths, they are protecting their class interests which happen to go against the interests of most humanity. They are protecting their "role" in the system. 1/3

stop. calling. evil people. psychotic.

ppl in psychosis are far more likely to be harmed than to harm others. ppl in psychosis make up a LARGE portion of ppl killed by cops. mentally ill ppl aren't your scapegoats. use your words and call this what it is instead of throwing us under the bus.

jeff computers @helldude.bsky.social · 3d

im going to go out on a limb and say, this is psychotic

it's instructive to ask, what would have stopped them from doing this? what could anyone have done differently that would have led them to conclude this extraordinary thing was unnecessary? and the answer is nothing

Another quote that I think about a lot from Ursula K. Le Guin

An image of women soldiers of the Spanish Civil War marching through the streets together. Above them in a large typeface are the words "CAN WE WIN BACK THE FUTURE". In the top left corner is a quote by Ursula K. Le Guin "... if it is the future you seek, then I tell you that you must come to it qith open hands. You must come to it alone and naked, as the child comes into the world, into his future, without any property, wholly dependent on other people for his life. You cannot take what you have not given, and you must give yourself. You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only BE the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere."

the decision to "be safe" is no longer yours to make. the state has decided to make us unsafe. but you can make informed choices, take calculated risks, and you can decide to be powerful.

We all want to be part of something but it's worth remembering that just because you purchased some product at the same time as a bunch of other people ≠ community.
You just..bought something simultaneously.
Real community doesn't have a paywall, it accepts you with what you have already.

sabotage corrupt systems every chance you get
every way you can throw sand in the gears, do it
refuse to comply with -ist/-phobic rules
keep yourself + others healthy via masks/vax
strike, protest, unionize, mutual aid
starve companies by removing your $$/attention
protect each other however you can

Nothing beats a cemetery walk in October. 🪦🍂

Yellow-orange leaved branches hang in front of a row of short headstones and a large stone structure with columns. There’s an obelisk in the background and fallen leaves on the ground.

Rows of headstones amongst silhouettes of trees, and the beginning of a sunset amongst many clouds.
