the gun is always loaded
there's a fed in every chat
your phone's a beacon telling
every cop right where you're at
your bluesky feed is archived
and your twitch they're watching live
so watch your mouth in public
if your ass plans to survive.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: just like every gun is always loaded, there is a fed in every chat
Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.

Sometime I capture some truly wonderful stuff in workshops. Presenting this with absolutely no context whatsoever. I assure you it made total sense in the room though.

Scribing a workshop on research into the future effects of Climate Change on Australia. Listened to the same talk about the effects of climate on people and communities four times in a row. On the day of the US Election.

![Most people know of the European Krampus who collected and punished bad children.
There are quite a few German cards from early and mid-century that show a female version of Krampus, who punishes bad men
[Painting shows a giant woman in black evening dress and gloves, holding a whip and chains, grabbing a much smaller man by his collar. She has another similar-looking man on the basket on her back]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yhpcrxbxkp2nsnpno7ow3uw4/bafkreigplcjpzoz3trtz6onne5lvtzjqp7yl5lbt4xwbeucpyokdvtlhbu@jpeg)
