@glopforshort.bsky.social yes! DNS is the internet's phone book. it associates ip addresses and domain names to do exactly what youre saying

i need to set up a fresh masto instance and i want to change my bsky bridge to include custom domains too

i also rebought fag.farm lol cause thats just cute

i am buying 2 many domain names

@samkitten.bsky.social luckily cities and suburbs don't have to worry about environmental damage. they're just naturally in alignment with the barren emptiness and omnicide that characterizes the places towns and cities spring up :^)

police were sharing themselves knocking down a forest encampment in Edmonton and it really is just a highlight reel of the way that states maintain dependence on their way of life (aka. dispossession and wage labor) through naked, violent force.

(gonna attach a low-res version of the video here)

@Remigius @ZiaNitori sure, i usually talk about these things under discourses of power (by which to enact and initialize freedom(s)) rather than rights. but i was trying to say that i think "rights" can be used at times to bridge discourses from those who are less inclined to see radical action as possible or acceptable.

@sashin as far as i understand its for stuff like "account less than 30 days old" or "from an instance your instance has moderation actions against'

@sadcommunistdog.bsky.social is there any particular angle on masculinity and queerness that you wanna cover?

@fokes i think trying to analyze, critique, and open up nationalism as a category is useful. so, i figured it'd have at least something in it that's worth it

ballot boxes getting attacked and burnt in my state. not a good sign of things to come.

@ZiaNitori i agree and disagree with a fair amount of things you've said here but i think these last two posts i disagree with most heavily. i don't really see us hashing it out here, so i see no point in saying how i see things. i appreciate you for sharing your mind on this.

grabbing a physical copy of Jones' Genocide makes me want to try to develop the essay on queer genocide i was writing. i was already pulling from Jones in my initial versions but i feel reinvigorated about it.

@fokes lol no i dont think so. not really interested in fake discourse controversy. i just saw it and went "oh yeah i've heard about this book, wonder if it's any good"

got some new books today 📚

@ZiaNitori sorry i hadn't responded to this yet.

i agree with you about rights, for the most part. but i also think justice and thus 'justification' plays heavily into what someone considers as the "someplace better" that they're trying to get to. i think "rights" can be used to bridge discourses and action. i don't know if this makes sense to you. but i think there is a defiant form of rights-discourse that *is* interested in people being autonomous and discovering what they're capable of doing moreso than a "subordinate to something" discourse.
example: "i have the right to be in public and i will fight you if you try to remove me" - rights here is not about asking permission.

i also spend my time, in my personal life, around the cogs that don't fit in the machine and trying to learn together (moreso than just 'teach them') how to move through the world in a way that maximizes their power. i don't think it's about everyone being individual though. part of learning how to move through the world is learning how to exist in groups. to act in groups. even if the group is just "me and my friends"

i don't really know exactly what you mean with your colony statements. i'm not really talking about colonies when i'm talking groups. i'm talking about certain levels of shared experience. even something as simple as "people who live near the water" vs "people who live near the mountain" - even if nothing "official" groups either of these groups together, i think there is a real experience shared. even if other things modulate that experience to be closer or further away from others in the grouping.

check out this odradek i got for my partner 😇

@ZiaNitori i understand where you're coming from and don't entirely disagree - but groups exist just as much as people do. there's no way to "just work with people as individuals."

i definitely am not interested in the preaching and organizing you refer to. and i do think that some sites of struggles worth looking into and working with are non-human sites of struggle. environments, ecosystems.

but there's also other groupings i've been thinking about that are less "a group" and more abstractly applied to everyone. like every "lefty" talks about "third places" in discourses about how capitalist modernity has destroyed the ability to live and have organic interactions through the monetization of social space. but i wanna go a step forward beyond notions of "third places" and talk about more ways to take social spaces back. in one framing the language of "rights" arises - what right do we have to The City, to space, to just Being outside, which i'd like to avoid, if i can. but "rights" are a common way to introduce people to certain concepts, so i'm not entirely opposed.

yesterday i watched my crows chase a hawk out of the trees
