U GET IT SIS
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.
im putting this on my resume

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.

“There's no ‘we’ of the Anthropocene. There's no single climate, there isn't even shared temporality: climate crisis is present for some, future for others, non-event for the wealthiest. We’re not ‘all in this together.’”
We’re Not in This Together | Ajay Singh Chaudhary
One of the most common misconceptions concerning climate change is that it produces, or even requires, a united humanity.

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.

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.

This is exactly it.
You can have optimism in mourning: knowing that people will die and lives will be diminished but also believing that everything we do now matters and will help.

Well said.
For me, optimism does not mean "everything will turn out okay." Optimism means "a solution exists, and my efforts matter."
Without this kind of optimism nothing gets done, and yeah, that's a guaranteed that things will *not* turn out okay.

4 Worthy of the Event, @vivianblaxell.bsky.social: I cannot believe I got to publish a book this brilliant. Uncompromising, multitudinous, maniacal, sui generis and, among other things, the harbinger of the actual metaphysical argument with queer theory that trans studies has been waiting for.

if you're into AI "advisors" and find their insights helpful, may I non-ironically recommend seriously considering: tarot
- connection to your subconscious
- therapeutic or confessional as need be
- patterns of meaning
- self-determined takeaways
- no need to google facts afterwards

between escalating invasiveness of AI and increasingly aggressive efforts by corporations to create anti-art media monopolies, it feels like a better time than ever to make weird amateur art and support whatever projects your friends are trying to get off the ground

I think this is the first time to my memory I didn't initially realize something was AI until looking at the comments. For a competent actor willing to put in some actual human labor, the tell-tale artifacts would be relatively easy to fix in post. RIP consensus reality
