@alive ohhh, okay i understand now. that seems to be the worst possible way they could've worded it. the misunderstanding is too severe.

@jonulrich yeah, blaming the map itself isn't really my goal. the real problem is, as youve stated it, how we've been conditioned to view borders between peoples. i just think that there have to be better ways to help the map speak such that someone's assumptions are ruptured instead. yknow?

Tiqqun: “The deconstructionist, incapable of having an effect on even the smallest detail of his world, being literally almost no longer in the world and having made absence his permanent mode of being, tries to embrace his Bloomhood with bravado. He shuts himself up in that narrow, closed circle of realities that still affect him at all--books, texts, films, and music--because these things are as insubstantial as he is. He can no longer see anything in what he reads that might relate to life, and instead sees what he lives as a tissue of references to what he has already read."

@KovuCougar this sounds cool, but i wish it wasn't limited for an age range!
Oh nice. Seattle Public Library has created a membership type for "13 to 26 year olds anywhere in the US" to be able to sign out e and audiobooks as a response to those locales banning books...

I am about to kick some journalists in the nuts real hard.
YOU failed to report on the dire warnings of scientists the past *checks the 6 IPCC reports* 33 years with your bloody "both-sideism" and now it's our fault?
Fuck you, the Hill. Fuck you very very much.
