At times I dream recursively dozens of times in one night, each time waking disoriented because it feels more solid than a normal dream. Last night I danced to Tipper in a Welsh field with Rebecca Ferguson. She wore platforms that put us eye to eye & was just as strange and beautiful as in real life

in fact, neither mlk jr or malcolm x posed any true threat to fascist government until they 1) began expressing admiration for the work of the other... and 2) expanded their protests from race struggle to class struggle. this is, of course, what got them killed; as well as fred hampton.

First successful lions mane grow is finally fruiting. Found a good spot and got fruit bodies in under 9 months from bulk to fruit. Time to scale up for next years market.

Imagine being too ignorant to know what a Luddite is then someone puts you in charge of a plagiarism machine. Pathetic.

Sonnet fulment

The Portal Stage at Legend Vally lit up for Tipper’s last show at the venue. #secretdreams #tipper

movie youve watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lord of the rings, or marvel.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Talking about how his dad got into US activism after hearing SNCC members sing Florence Reece’s “which side are you on” is exactly what I needed today. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj3MwYxn/

Yezzan zo Qaggaz but worse.

Meanwhile, every anarchist I know: are you hungry I just grew these greens, can you help me fill up this donation box before my volunteer shift?

One thing you never want to do to a tire if you want it to remain pressurized is to cut a pice of brake line at a 45° angle around 2” long and allow it to puncture the sidewall. This will cause the tire to lose pressure quickly, a bad time.

Who could have predicted that in the end the imperial army would be turned on its own citizens. Totally unforeseen outcome, unprecedented in history.

A piece of an elegy I wrote after the death of a brother. Check image for proper line breaks. 2:syllogism The grief of what might have been is always heavier than the grief of what was Two sheaves of grief will be provided to you and that is why you have two arms

I haven’t watched wrestling in decades but I know kayfabe when I see it.

Studying stone and wood in my limited spare time.

Mutual Aid community garden is coming along. Very cool to see this place slowly turning into something that helps the community. Also cool to see kids learning to love growing their own food and being interested in the local biome. Cultural ecotone.

Great Spangled Fritillary.

An example of why first principles are imperative: tuned the carb on my chainsaw the other day and it ran great. Then it stopped running completely. Spent half an hour resetting the carb trying to get it running again. It was out of gas the whole time. When problem solving, start from the beginning.

Vitamix does not like blending garlic scapes. Overheated in record time. Might have to finally buy an actual food processor.

“But what if the Palestinian account is scamming me out of my $5?” —guy who drops $50 a week on scratch offs or sports gambling.

Been spending more time around some of my extended family since moving to the farm and it is real lumpenprole hours around here. Fanon would have a field day with these guys.

Every day I walk outside and hear dozens of birds, see hundreds of plants, numerous bugs, and fungi. Then I get online and see burning children, people who are just fine with that, and I wonder, why do we get this and they get that, and how long until it arrives here. I know the answer: not long.

Rogan is a liberal, that the Democrats don’t see that liberalism is the precursor to fascism is a real problem.

JD Vance is a fraudulent pseudo hillbilly with no soul who will never see heaven. He will gladly talk about his KY roots when it suits him but when disaster strikes he is nowhere to be found.

We gave them our coal and our timber, and they left us alone, we took their money and ignored them because we had each other.

Huge swath of devastation from tornadoes just the next county over. This is the at least the fourth major storm event to hit Kentucky in the past 4 years.

Very cool that my region doesn’t have an overnight forecaster on staff now especially since we’ve had historic flooding and tornadoes multiple times in the past 3 years.

An easy way to see the US is broken is that potential harm threats/death threats against powerful people are taken more seriously than those against vulnerable people even though vulnerable people are, by definition, more prone to harm.

Thinking about how the first four Andor arcs are about running or escaping from different types of oppressive experiences 1- the past 2- economic 3- the carceral state 4- grief And how the second four are about running toward the healthy versions of those things.

Have some potentially bad personal economic news so naturally my first reaction is “gonna need to plant more beans”.

Andor pulled it off, probably because Gilroy is a Gramsciist.

I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere. They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.

Wilmon is the one huffing Rhydo but it is Bix who is high on revenge. Really enjoying the subtle reversal being pulled with these two characters. Bix has started down a dark path while Wilmon is using his anger as righteous fuel.

When you make an educated guess on yield>breakeven year and then the research bears you out 👌

Imagination is the essential precursor to Liberation, which is the essential precursor to Integration, meant here as in complete, or wholeness. Lack of imagination is what makes the Empire brittle, and what powers Luthen in his search for rebels. These rules apply just as much to real life.

"Why aren't young people protesting?" Consider—because they all got their shit rocked by police and prosecutors last year trying to stop a genocide, and you abandoned them.

Momentary interruption of Andor posting in favor of tandoor posting. Still need to do some minor finish work but this oven is fully operational.

Continuing my Andor posting, I’m thinking about how the seed for Cassian’s rage against the empire is his Black dad being lynched by a gang of guys in white outfits and how evil always sows the seeds of its own destruction.

Art is the only defense we have against the industrial nature of the State on our bodies. - Wayne Kramer of the MC5 #photography #music

The US government cannot deport US citizens, it’s called kidnapping, or if you want to be on the fascist side “extraordinary rendition”. When it’s being done to children it is likely sex trafficking. The time to stand up is now.

Finally! A podcast as obsessed with the geometric and numerological details in the sets of Andor as I am (affectionate). This is going in rotation with AMCA and @manuclearbomb.bsky.social & @seeemilyyplay.bsky.social special Andor episodes.

Liberals learn media literacy challenge.

Andor posting ♾️Thinking about the exact moment I knew I would dedicate my life to Art, how close that feeling is to ecstatic religious experience and how being an artist is almost always taking a vow of poverty. That sensation never left me, and I have learned over time how to reach out to it.

Bees thriving, Andor S2 out, mushroom logs inoculated, UK bball on the rise, mutual aid garden coming together, my kid is getting into Dunk and Egg. Top tier week. Communism will win.
