i neeeeeeeeeeed my phone to be fixed because i NEED y'all to see my relationship with these crows they are SO beautiful

the ramblings of an E:D CMDR 

the game is set up so that star systems are home to a set number of factions and the space stations and planetary settlements in that system can be controlled by any of those factions and the factions can spread to other systems for interstellar faction control.

the devs have also set it up so that you can contact them and they will add a faction that you can name and you get to pick the home-star-system for. mine is named "Prisma Collective" and is of the "Anarchy" government type.

i've been away for so long though that the system we previously had the most influence in has been taken over by a series of Imperial factions. my faction had been pushed to 1% influence.

after a couple of days of work i started a civil war with one of the other, smaller empire-associated factions. they'll be overthrown within the week. and then we're on to the big-game.

oh god i've been subjecting myself to a callard lecture and it is PAINFUL

my pack's dog has started panicking at night for the past week or so. she starts a couple hours after the sun goes down and doesn't stop til the sun is back up. we've all been taking turns sleeping so someone can stay up with her.

last night she wouldn't stop panting and drooling from the panic but just going outside with her and letting her be out there seemed to ground her. gonna try that again tonight.

The next two contributions to my “Constellations of Care: Anarcha-Feminism in Practice” (Pluto Press, April 2024) anthology could be misread as being *simply* about cooking, relegating women and queers to the proverbial kitchen. Yet they revolve around relationality as the key ingredient in both surviving and thriving.

“Communitarian Kitchens: Stoking the Flames of Memory and Rebellion” by Vilma Rocío Almendra Quiguanás, translated by @susurros:

“Our relationship with our territories is woven into the tulpas, the millennia-old fires of encounters, legacies, flavors, and knowledges. … In the uprisings, strikes, revolts, marches, encampments, popular assemblies, blockades, land recuperations, communal congresses, appropriation of factories, roadblocks, and popular tribunals, and on pickets and barricades, fire has always been present. … Communitarian kitchens and fire are a necessary couple. They have been present and vital in feeding the dignified rebellions that denounce and question the state, transnationals, and all the other powers that have always oppressed us. … [They] have sustained struggles against hunger, for land and water, as a life practice and central axis for collective nourishment.”

“Supporting the Revolution, One Stew at a Time” by Aleh Stankova and Fenya Fischler:

“The relationships we formed through our organizing were a big part of what allowed us to sustain this group for so long (to our knowledge, we’re the longest-running Food Not Bombs chapter to have ever existed in London!). Centering relationships also meant being clear about the types of networks we wanted to build: reciprocal, horizontal, caring, and supportive. We truly believe that our group survived despite the odds because of the intentionality with which we built up our political practice, aligning with feminist and anarchist values that saw us resisting engrained hierarchies and patriarchal organizing patterns, and how that manifested in the way we looked out for each other. … In short, care (including food), which is so often devalued and gendered, is in fact the invisible fuel that sustains us in the struggle.“

it's actually so revealing about the nature of the discourse on humanity that when people, even children, engage with aspects of the non-human others will turn against them saying "we'll subject you to the conditions we subject non-humans to just so that you clamor for humanity"

5 years ago i would've said a law like this would've never gotten introduced. i was naive about the limits of conservative moral panic.
