People really keep using Twitter and Substack and buying Teslas like it's nothing, huh. I know there is no truly ethical consumption under capitalism, but I think "avoid lining the pockets of Nazi-sympathizers" is a pretty clear, bright line you can draw.

Let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.

Bedtime thought: So I have had my Covid and flu vaccination for this winter; does that mean I can unmask now? NO the only way to truly avoid being sick this winter is to also mask and avoid indoor crowded events. Which, other than my job, I will be doing just that. Good night!

Capitalism is obsessed with distilling everything down to its most "efficient" form. And in this we lose so much value, from food to medicine to clothing to art. We are effeciently boiling ourselves down to a severely austere existence, even the bleak aesthetics of modernity reflect this.

Photos: Seattle marches for Jane Doe and sexual violence victims
Photos by Chris Rojas Women and allies across the nation marched in support of Cornell's Jane Doe and victims of sexual violence on Oct. 8, calling for an end. The Gender Equity Movement (GEM) and Seattle Handmaids led a march to Seattle's federal building, and featured speakers including Hannah Sabio-Howell, a candidate for Washington's 43rd Legislative District, Meredith Ruff of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and Helen Gilbert of Radical Women. These nationwide actions come shortly after news of a Cornell student being drugged and gang-raped in 2024. Read TtS's editorial here.

One more thing about the death penalty before going offline. As disgusted as we should be by Trump's bloodlust, we should NOT lose sight of the CENTRAL role of Democrats in upholding, expanding, and enabling this system that seems to horrify so many people right now.

A photo of a group of teenagers standing across the school track at a distance, beside a wall with the word 'LOVE' painted on it. The teens face the camera while holding white signs with red text that say “No Hate in WA State - Vote NO on I-001 & I-638.” Text below the photo reads: Press Release, October 8, 2026, Pacific Northwest Tribes Unanimously Oppose Ballot Initiatives IL26-001 and IL26-638.
