I pretty much yelled with joy to actually see these people! It's been ages since the mushroom folks have been around. Or, I guess, since I was around them.

@thegenderdoula.com has written a fantastic book. I can't think of the last time I was so happy to write a blurb for a book! Many thanks, Eli, for letting me read it and support it!

I just feel like if the answer is give up give in learn it bc it's inevitable and you're already obsolete anyway then my Ludditism only grows stronger. I refuse to believe a technology in its infancy is more effective than 300K+ years of time-tested communication, medicine, governance, food, and art

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

I was gutted to learn that John Crowley has died. Deeply loved in the fantasy field, he will be missed as a friend, colleague, and one of the most brilliant writers of our time. ("Little, Big" was an enormously formative text for so many in my generation of writers.) Damn. This loss hits hard.

turning FEMA's resources away from disaster during hurricane and wildfire season is insidious enough, but designating them to "pre-crime" as a strategy to oppress legal opinions, ideologies, and politics is fascist af. Minority Report was a cautionary tale *against* authoritarianism, not a guidebook

Harsh reality under neoliberalism.

"Some of the least intelligent & most obnoxious people in our society are treated as its paragons of virtue while the most decent and caring people are not only made to do all the essential work but made to feel that they are of no account and that their lives and their feelings don't matter. This is a system of incredible violence that we live under."

Happily, someone kindly commented on this video with the following: "The song is called 有吗炒面 in Chinese, which means 'Do you have fried noodles' and sounds just like the line "You macho man"" I think it makes even less sense now, but I love it even more. youtu.be/c8IUg3oNIco?...

You find chapels of the Black Fathom Faith all along the coast. Cockleshell crosses, whitewashed walls. Never named, maybe a date of foundation, but never named. Sometimes hymns drift outside. Salt-crusted spirituals, anthems of loyalty to the King-Under-the-Sea. – #MattAdams

It's been 55 years since Milton Friedman - cursed be his name - published his *NYT* editorial, "The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits," inventing "shareholder supremacy" out of whole cloth, declaring it a universal, inarguable truth: www.nytimes.com/1970/09/13/a... 1/

A fake cover for CEO magazine. The central figure is a ZOLTAR fortune-telling animatronic, seated before various divination tools. The headline over him is FIDUCIARY DUTY. In the top right corner, there's a slug reading 'UNIVERSAL EXCUSE: A bright line test that's also *totally* unfalsifiable.' To Zoltar's left is another slug reading, 'FRIEDMAN SAID IT: I believe it. That's good enough for me.'
