The majority of creatures inhabiting planet earth have chitinous carapaces etc etc etc., yet we call those "exoskeletons." How self-centered.
I propose we decenter vertebrate anatomy and start calling our skeletons "endoshelletons."

Patriotism requires blind faith, that we look up and toward something we can only imagine.
Solidarity asks us to look around, to meet the gazes of our peers, to feel stronger because of one another.

self-diagnosing what i'm about to say as relating to a deep pervasive, fabricated loneliness that exists in american culture:
nearly every time i get into my car after being out somewhere, i glance under the windshield wipers, not for a ticket, but to see if anyone has left me a note.

i'd be so happy to be a sounding board, to help you bring an idea to fruition, to take a final pass at your work, whatever!

my dreams have been really intense, and often incorporate perfect little romances (honeymoon phase stuff) juxtaposed against some sort of existential turmoil—the love and relational well-being always a foil to the dread.

you know those robot dogs that "aren't" made to be war machines? how much do you think one of them costs? i'd really like to make a bespoke adult-sized bassinet on robot dog legs so that i could stay nude and swaddled in blankets when i wake up, and get baba yagaed around while i prep for my day.

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting.
There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities.
Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.

in recent harrowing times like these, i often see folks talk about how they need to "turn to community." here is a fundamental flaw in that thinking, one which has been programmed in us through life in the shadow of this empire:
community is ALWAYS with us—we are made to feel alone, but we never are
community is ALWAYS with us—we are made to feel alone, but we never are

we have the opportunity to face each new day and allow ourselves to embrace radical care that much more. we deserve one another's extremism.

i hope that, through these tools, we can feel a little less alone, that the weight of systems meant to crush us can be staved off juuuust a little longer.

thinking about a tiktok ban (and/or corpo/gov buyout?!) and all the big media companies flocking to fascism:
we have such a profound opportunity here, to intentionally cultivate community, to choose exactly how these tools will serve to bring us closer together.
