Communist, motorcyclist, GenX goth. Into #ttrpg and some cosplay, organic world-building/social-infrastructural hacking, and the ever lovin' ML crowd who will just not put down the torch for liberation despite history. Opinions my own. RS if you like.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.

‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit... Even Haaretz, a liberal zionist newspaper is calling what's going on in Gaza a genocide.

Nobody can hide it anymore.

Not even the zionist state itself.

Feelin' like it might be time to deactivate SM and activate more meat-space community building. The coming years will be increasingly engaged through offline efforts as they once were; fascism has a firm grasp on Big Tech and won't be outdone by a bunch of loud leftists screaming into the mic.

I've got 2 Bsky accounts: one to raise my blood pressure and one to lower it.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

I didn't realize people still existed post-election with a non-ironic take like this. I stand corrected! (and I'm still going to withhold any votes I wish tyvm)

warning for new people: this site is generally hostile to LinkedIn style posts, engagement hacking, and overall inauthenticity

it's not about follow count
it's about cultivating real people who want to talk to you

if you don't get the reach you think you deserve, then you probably don't deserve it

I’m a big fan of the sentiment but this is a surprising quote to see from a Palestinian scholar.

The free in Free Palestine is not an adjective, it is a verb. This version in the quote is typically used by English speakers.

You’ll see most Palestinians say
حرروا فلسطين
Against those who reduce “Free Palestine” to an expression of antisemitism:

“People don’t understand the history, depth and beauty of Free Palestine.”

- Eman Ghanayem

Massive numbers of people mobilized horizontally to respond to the flooding. Despite their ties to the government, far-right groups have tried to hijack popular anger over the state's failures. This is the classic strategy of fascists and demagogues: create a crisis, then try to capitalize on it.

With the amount of grifting and looting that's set to occur, I'm naming this the age of "Trash Panda" politics

I think we have a new attendee to the party. The communist party that is! Welcome fledgling!
Well, then... what would you have people do? Just not vote at all?

i used to think of liberals as well meaning but under informed people. the hate i have been seeing them spew these past few days has really convinced me that their ideology is unsound and does nothing good for the community at large.

I feel like we're unintentionally watching a massive public reach-around where we all eventually get fucked and discarded in the trashbin of history.
