my crows were in my dream last night. after numerous bad situations i was left on the top of something and my crows flew over and landed with me and nuzzled me before helping me get away. i think that's probably a good sign

@eris i'm sorry other people ruined what could've been fun about it for you. admin drama is one of the worst aspects of fediverse stuff and i did see you on the receiving end of nonsense so often

i think i need to unfollow everyone and refollow people

“The growing proletarianization of modern man and the increasing formation of masses are two aspects of the same process. Fascism attempts to organize the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves. The masses have a right to change property relations; Fascism seeks to give them an expression while preserving property. The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life. The violation of the masses, whom Fascism, with its Führer cult, forces to their knees, has its
counterpart in the violation of an apparatus which is pressed into the production of ritual values. All efforts to render politics aesthetic culminate in one thing: war.”

—Walter Benjamin, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”

communism will abolish humanity or it will remain, as most other 19th and 20th century grand-ideas for society have remained, a genocidal project

how has a whole subsection of the """left""" has convinced itself that a group can't do genocide without it being a directly stated policy? it is baffling.
apparently all one has to do to get away with genocide is deny intent.

my guess is something to do with springtime, but i'm not sure

today seemed to be some sort of crow meeting day. 30 or more of them seemed gathered near the tops of trees, mostly gathered around 4 to 5 trees within visible distance of each other. lots of cawing.
no swooping attacks at each other.

one or two crows would fly off in a particular direction, then one or two more in another direction only to come back within 5 or so minutes.

eventually 4 came over to our house (and i do believe these 4 to be the regulars that stop by our house daily) while the rest stayed at the tops of trees that i could see from my porch. i was a bit nervous, not wanting to be swarmed by the whole pack, but i gave them a bit of food in our regular manner, which they gratefully accepted and flew off with.

@agreedyboi oh okay, personal friends (or friends of friends) is much better than what i was imagining.

that's a very funny reply. like, yeah kinda, scanning barcodes does track resources... but maybe, just maybe, we could radically rethink what it means to share resources in a community.

@agreedyboi oh god what kind of server are you arguing restaurants under communism on

i gave my crows some lime shrimp for the first time recently and they are so funny about it. they hold it in their beaks and touch their tongues to it over and over again before putting a bunch in their mouth and then fly away

there are like 6 bald eagles flying around my house today

watched one land on a tree, next to another one. and then a third swooped at it with its claws and they both tumbled to the ground before catching themselves with their wings and swooping up and away

dude literally said "it's not possible to have self-consciousness without it involving mediation through language" and hasn't backed it up with a single thing
