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)

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

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.

got some new books today 📚

check out this odradek i got for my partner 😇

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

i'm not going to pretend i have any solutions. but i can't help but wonder if it'd be possible to start building some of this. pick a few sites of struggle, get involved with them in person, and try to explore the concepts that arise through the struggle in a piece of "content" - rinse and repeat.

perhaps significant ground could be covered if a group that's friendly with each other and adjacent to each other's politics enough from the get-go coordinated similar strategies in different places, with different sites of struggle.

mostly i feel like we've all failed to do the work in collectively establishing the frameworks and structures that enable us all to open up discourses further, with a mind towards multi-directional empathy and without Final Answers.

a new generation of those willing to speak their mind on things in society they're frustrated with is being born. and a lot of energy that could be directed at healthy critique of systems and structures of power is being directed towards framing interpersonal disputes as political disputes because leftists get tailwagged so fucking easily. twitter made it *too* easy, which is why leftists are mass-exodusing.

talked a lot with someone else tonight about the problems with Leftist Content - the incentives which drive them to reactionary actions and attitudes, and an inability to reach new people, the siloing of content into algorithmic bubbles, the niche ideological milieu discourses, the same refrains which get no easier to deal with on the 100th time hearing them.

it makes me wonder what's possible beyond what i went through.

damn this thread didn't get ported to bsky? only the top level post got sent? what's up with that?

and idk, maybe i'm wrong to feel this way but it feels like what was practically common sense for the trans people that came before us is gone, lost to the world of Spectacle.

i've been hearing this kind of line from (a certain kind of) trans person over the last few years. the people i was arguing against when trying to open up discourses on transness. it's so strange to see people who have every reason to understand why this view is fucked peddle it.
