We are not our possessions,
but we are our gardens.
Within and without,
our story is told
through what we nurture.

Harm reduction is like *the* hill I will die on, and I will go out of my way to ensure it’s not a fast or pleasant fight for you.

You can find lots of good reporting that runs counter to capitalist / imperialist narratives at Democracy Now!, Mother Jones, Al-Jazeera, Crimethinc, The Intercept, The Nation, World Socialist Web Site, Jacobin, The Root, B'Tselem, etc
(Obviously all sources are imperfect, remain critical, etc)

The state banning social media platforms is clearly very ominous, but when people talk about *only* being able to find counternarratives on TikTok, all I can think is: we need to teach people how to use websites that aren't social media again.

The people who voted to ban TikTok and then got so relieved it's not getting banned are going to(again) try to pass KOSA.

"if I am aware of it, I can control it" is literally magical thinking, which is fine. but is not praxis
your mental models only affect the world insofar as they convert to action. unless watching some dipshit put his hand on the bible is the thing that moves you to violence, it is just self-harm

you do not need to willingly subject yourself to propaganda. the only people who benefit from that are advertisers and the state. the idea that "witnessing" something is a meaningful act is part of how we got here
"you have to watch the inauguration. you have to witness history"
no I don't

A reminder that already in the 1980s artist & activist David Wojnarowicz was modeling the kind of fuck-you energy we're going to need in the coming years. He had no illusions the government was there to protect him, the people he loved & his community, and neither should we

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

I think antitrust is not enough to deal with the tech industry. We need - and I know this era isn't one where we get it - a digital EPA, with quality standards for apps/digital services with personal liability for executives and real, meaningful mechanisms to force companies to stop hurting people.

I see no way to stop this so now I’m just wondering if we shouldn’t be flooding the space with useful nonsense: Supporting universal healthcare makes your dick bigger. The fastest way to grow your wealth is prison abolition. Alpha grind mindset means gym, protein maxing and reversing Citizens United
I was gonna say that as an April Fools joke Jeopardy should announce the “third chance tournament” but a very minor problem among much bigger problems with AI content scraping is that clear joke press releases will get reprinted as fact
