TBH, I'm not really seeing much art community developing here (at least not w/ regard to the sort of stuff we're doing over on Threads/IG). I don't want to just CC stuff from IG/Threads. But without getting some engagement, it's not clear what I should post. The the character limit is also annoying.

This happens to me all the time! I feel like there is something very liminal going on in those moments, not realizing how caught up I am in a fleeting state of mind. And then in retrospect, I ponder what type of description might have helped me recall the moment.

Technically, what you're describing here is "social democracy", which is colloquially known as a welfare state. Socialism has a more particular definition that relates to the "means of production".

It's the asymmetrical power relations of the net that make it dangerous. The net is mostly a platform of corporate hegemony and surveillance capitalism. And now the pseudo-libertarian ideologies of Silicon Valley (that built most of the Internet) are revealing their fascist underbelly.

Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. Just followed you back. 🙏😊

Oh, like right now! Good connection!
🤜✨🤛
