every disaster that shakes the core of industrial-connectivity makes my brain go "death stranding"

civilization's role for vampirism has never been presented more clearly

watching "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and holy shit

this is also the first time ive heard of shotspotter - evil technology

this is a wild lil tool https://walzr.com/bop-spotter

i think there's something to be said about public discourse taking on a similar form. it sometimes feels like all discourses are trending towards "child-friendly" and "morally performative" version of themselves

something i've noticed about my experience attending different Protestant churches growing up is how it legitimately feels like the adults are mostly passing on memetic "sunday school" versions of the stories, and not at all interested in searching for meanings in the stories, but instead hoping to connect their memetic-sunday-school versions to current events.

growing up christian, i remember the teachings about Jesus and Pontius Pilate, about the other people Jesus was arrested and held with being "robbers" - i didn't realize some translations call the "robbers" "revolutionaries" and "insurrectionists" and "rebels" and "one who had taken part in an uprising

among us and its clones typically don't have anywhere near the same tension this game does. the necessity of voice chat and the inclusion of non-slackers to have slacker tasks is so fun

dale and dawson is genuinely one of the most fun games of its kind

i want to interact with people at "home" not have it clouded out by publications and info-bots and activism. it would be so nice to look at the curated collection of each of those on their own.

the main 2 features i want that hometown has are "local-only posts" and lists that don't need you to follow the person on your list

so i really need to update this instance; i want to move us from the base masto to a hometown instance, but the last time i tried i broke everything.

i'm thinking what i should do is try to install hometown fresh and then import the data from here into *that* database. probably still at this url? not entirely sure if that's a reasonable route but i should probably work on that today.

i should really have a library card lmao

also found these cuties

went to an anarchist bookfair today!

oh shit! apparently tomorrow a collection of unreleased Foucault lectures is going to drop! definitely going to have to check that out!

it's announced as covering the period 1975-1980 and delivered in the US and Brazil

i also want to try to connect some socialities. to see what worlds are waiting to be born, even just between people.

i'm going to need to learn a lot of new skills. i've been working on my plant identification and bird identification (since that's the closest life i have to me living in the outskirts of this city). but i need to move it to the next step. i need to start collecting seeds, collecting samples, running my own personal tests on them. i've got a few plants pressed into a notebook of mine, which i intended to use for plant identification moving forward. i think that's a good idea moving forward.

i've got a collection of about 100 crow feathers i've collected over the last couple years - i want to sew them into an outfit that i then imbue with the relationship to the crows.

i want to figure out a good way to map out differing scales of interactions in a particular space, boundaries between spaces, etc. that one is really stumping me. i think it might necessarily be a collective project.
