@Spyemma it was made for a youtube thumbnail actually! it was made by @NastyREDACTED for a demonmama video! but it was so cute i just had to use it!

how come no one told me that delivering packages in death stranding was a metaphor wtf

okay i really gotta stop using social media for random little posts its so bad. the only reason i have a twitter still is because i don't want to lose 26k followers, thats a nice little platform. but i gotta treat it far more like a Public Brand.

@heathen its complicated: definitely southern but not part of The South in the same way West Virginia isn't part of The South because they refused to fight for the confederacy.

redrafting this because i misunderstood:

after losing a lawsuit, CompactMag, headed by Nina Power, had their logs leaked as part of the lawsuit.

i was under the misunderstanding that a victim of Nina's harassment sued her - i have since discovered it was the other way around! after harassing a "Luke Turner" to the point that he called her and her compatriot Daniel Miller fascists, they decided to sue Luke for libel! which revealed their messages in which they admit to being straight up neo-nazis!

been reading some of the critical scientific literature on invasion biology that was linked to me and the framing of these is so petty

@wallamidyl i recorded the session (though i had audio problems RIGHT before we started so, the audio is a little jank on the session, the future ones should be a bit better) i also have my own notes i wrote down prior to the session that i was thinking about archiving somewhere adjacent to my digital library (anarch.cc/library)

if you're interested, when i get it accessible i'll keep you in mind and send them your way.

first discord group discussion on anti-oedipus down! many more to go!

got my first session of laser ever today!!! (but i also got sick and am missing trans pride events 😭 )

i was sent some things that might further my criticisms and suspicions.

like an academic back and forth published in journals about invasion biology:

and a book by Tao Orion called 'Beyond the War on Invasive Species" that i'm gonna try to pick up

discoursing about invasive species over on the musksite is actually some of the best (thoughtfully engaged) engagement i've got in a while damn

thank you "BasedOmniMan" for giving me such a palpable example of why i'm suspicious of this terminology!

like on the one level i obviously understand that some plants were introduced into ecosystems in which their behaviors are so aggressive that they destroy the biodiversity of an area........ but at the same time creatures are escaping the conditions that created them and radically changing other ecosystems, creating new pressures which force the life of those ecosystems to transform too.

how do i draw a line here?

i don't like the concept of 'invasive species' i don't know how to make it functional without running into ethical issues i can't sign off on

@Remigius

as far as i know cohost was made people who wanted mastodon to be good but got really annoyed with the drama between instances. so, no federation, no instances, no ads, just chronological posts (with some markdown capabilities for fun visuals of posts)
https://cohost.org/

masto - everyone does what they want, you connect to who you want, you disconnect from who you want, you either voluntarily submit to someone else's rules or you set up your own

cohost - no ads, no corps, but control is maintained via a small vanguard

twitter - 'to keep making money we've decided to embrace white supremacists, transphobia, anti-semitism - when that inevitably doesn't work out we're going to monetize more and more and more aspects that were once offered for free!'

bsky - 'we'll compete with the fascists by making the exact same product but Friendlier™'

mastodon is anarchy-social-media

cohost is socialism-social-media

bsky is liberal-social-media

twitter is fascist-social-media

organizing my files on the computer this is so stupid why didn't i just already have everything organized in the first place :^)
