overwhelmed with emotion today. this is truly day one of my new life. there is complete chaos all around me (not global politics, but literally where I'm staying for the moment) but it effects me very little as I've spend some time setting myself up to be fairly self-contained. slowly easing […]

"Psychologist Dr. John Gartner previously told The Daily Beast Podcast that he believes #trump is exhibiting a “massive increase” in “clinical signs of #dementia,” citing his nonsensical speeches, tendency to change topics mid-sentence, and memory lapses." […]

"The #resistance to #ice in #minneapolis is strong, generalized, and sustained. It’s also entirely #decentralized and #leaderless (or “leaderful” if you’d like). There are roles. There is #Organizing—there’s so much organizing. There are so many organizers, from so many #communities and […]

yaaaaaaaasssssss. back in the land of reasonably priced #yogurt / #yoghurt that isn't full of sugar and unknown chemicals! #newzealand #fuckmaha

I now know 100% that my pet peeve is people who don't properly store their carry-on luggage in the overhead compartment. grr.

while chatting with the driver on my way to the airport, its a slight relief to be on the opposite side of the planet while crazy president man goes batshit crazy. #newzealand

(only *slight* relief)

"The lesson here is clear: We’re on our own now. They have guns and drones and they can hack our phones and smear our names online and arrest us without a warrant and charge us with terrorism. And all we have are whistles and protests and TikTok and group chats and maybe some journalism. Our […]

#til the word #ochrepunk! still wrapping my head around its meaning and I am here for it!

for both my #surgeries this year, I only used #cannabis for #pain management. absolutely amazing experience. 10 out of 10. but now I am weaning myself off it so feeling very sluggish and getting very little sleep. looking forward to getting past this stage in a few days. #surgery #marijuana

my TV exposure these days is primarily at the gym. and the 24 hour news channels are most definitely creaming their jeans over #venezuela right now. #latestagecapitalism is a hell of a drug :(

"We stopped imagining that winning was even a possibility. We told ourselves that the real prize was the friends made along the way.

I’m as guilty of this as anyone. When my friends scoff at the idea of #Anarchist video content, I pretty much entirely abandon writing 101s for youtube, never do […]

is it a good new years resolution or is it the BEST #newyears #resolution?

"The shift from collateral freedom to systems arbitrage changes what #internet #freedom tools need to do. Less emphasis on hiding within shared #infrastructure. More emphasis on exploiting specific coordination failures between systems.

It also changes the timeline. Collateral freedom worked […]

just rewatched girl interrupted. saw it when it first came out and years later with wisdom and experience and all of that... I have to say this movie is just not very good. hints of interesting themes that are never explored and a basic bland narrative throughout. I wish there was a new edit […]

" ... historically, the U.S. has been very good at #speculative #bubbles. This is one of our main core competencies here. They tend to be about real estate, or they tend to be about #technology, or they tend to be about loose #credit, and sometimes they even have a #government role with respect […]

"... #convenience and ease are values that have arisen largely because the #oligarchs have nothing better to sell us.
