iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

How would you know if you’ve blocked half a million accounts?

001

Essentially I’ve been put on a block list for not being perfect.

000

I didn’t, and don’t, follow them. Blocking people that happen to follow such accounts does little to eliminate grifters from the internet. It does balkanize communities, ones that might otherwise support the same issues.

100

When I joined, most of the people I wanted to follow also followed listifications, so I did too. Didn’t think about it much, but then there’s that drip drip drip of blocks from people I’ve never interacted with. Anyway, go live your life!

They hadn’t posted in months. And you’re probably right about them being a content scam, so I unfollowed. I was not aware of that.

100

I do! It perplexed me. Blocking is an essential tool, and it’s not my place to tell people who they should or should not block. But how would you feel if every time you open a platform you learn you’ve been blocked? It tells me you’d rather alienate your allies

000

I posted randomly, with the screenshot of this drip drip drip of blocks I get from people I don’t even interact with. You replied. Hardly me seeking you out I’ve heard the name “angrystaffer” but don’t think I follow them. Same for “altnps”.

100

Correction: *half* a million. Far more reasonable.

000

Hmmm. Never done that — very gay trans positive. Don’t recall Walz ever doing it either. But your own post says you might have to block a million people lol

My guess is this is why you blocked me from your other account (I was certainly team Walz). Carry on.

Like most things Trump, ICE is a grotesque excess of what has previously existed, literally and figuratively a steroid-bloated parody of law enforcement in America

It all seems to have started over a year ago, after the only time I posted anything particularly controversial — I said that violence at protests was not a good idea.

000

Well, I’m an average user, who doesn’t even post that much. Every time I open the app I wonder if I’ll be blocked by yet another account I’ve never interacted with. Do you use a list or listifications to mass block accounts?

The balkanization of the the US, of the whole world, is a very real danger. Look at Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey forming a defense pact. This process creates opportunities for autocrats, oligarchs, authoritarians, and pedophiles.

000

We must recognize that Russia continues active influence campaigns — mis- and disinformation. We must make real effort to hold onto those aspects that bring us together for strength, even while we reject domestic forces that push us apart.

About nine years ago I donated a man artwork to a fundraiser for reparations to be paid to Black Americans, a cause I believe deserves some attention. Three years later, I learned that the org had been accepting money from a Russia, which encouraged certain issues, and strategies.

Dilemma. My politics are generally far to the left of my sense of strategy for winning and electing sane leaders. As such I recognize my own vulnerability to influence campaigns that foster extremes on both ends of the spectrum.

The balkanization of the world. Opportunities for all, particularly the bad actors (oligarchs, authoritarians, and pedophiles).

3. None are on my list, but what I actually read the most is science fiction.

2. Top five books of all time that I’ve read. Also impossible, so anything I put here is temporary and provisional 1/100 Years of Solitude 2/Blood Meridian 3/The Master and Margarita 4/Moby Dick 5/What is the What

Here is the finished screenprint made from the film positives in the previous post.

A 16 layer screenprint, approximately 27x21”, in four main colors. Each color has a four tints. The image does not necessarily depict anything specific, while it does riff off of early 20th c. tramp art. It is possible that few will see this, but for me it is a kind of flower.

1. Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy

I’m game, but have to say if I answer more than one it’ll be because I’d like to, not because I get likes

More film positives for screenprinting, in this case one film cut up into mosaic pieces and then reconstructed onto four separate films (so they can be four colors in the final print). I am printing as well, but they’re still simmering a bit as I figure out color and I don’t want to post them yet.

Texas State Printmaking was asked by Glasstire to make a print for Vincent Valdez, as part of a suite of five prints (5 Texas artists, paired with 5 Texas printers) to celebrate Glasstire’s 25th anniversary. I am very proud of these students that assisted and of the project.

Yeah exactly. The film is velvetone, and has a pronounced pebbly texture to it. This really facilitates translation of values to something the screen can hold and print.

Also, I’m not strictly non-violent. I am strategic violence, which means very rarely, and must be calculated to maximize results. Most protests are only made worse by violence by diminishing the effectiveness.

Jeffrey Dell @dellpesce.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

That’s funny, because I’m fairly sure the reason I’m on certain block lists is for being against violence at protests.

Drawings and/or film positives for screenprinting. This is black oil stick on clear film, used to expose screens for screenprinting. I am very excited about these, even tho they have a ways to go.

This is two film positives, one on top of the other, that will be used to make a screenprint. It is a sort of drawing on transparent film. In this case, it’s also a rubbing with cut paper beneath it. Here it is seen on top of a light box, which shows it how the screen will see it when it’s exposed.

A black and white drawing on clear film, made with a broad oil pastel. Cut pieces of paper are beneath the material, so the drawing is also a rubbing. This sheet will be used to expose light sensitive screens for screenprinting.

I saw them twice as well, both times in Albuquerque. Don’t recall the clubs’ names, but the first wouldn’t let them play there ever again. Yeah, fire, fireworks, wine shot everywhere, followed immediately by many bags of flour. Never quite saw anything else like it.

lol whenever I open this app I learn someone else has blocked me. I suspect I was put on some list after arguing that violence at the protests last summer would be counterproductive.

Decisions made in the moment come down to training and preparation. Clearly ICE and CBP train to escalate, manufacture crisis, provoke, and find the excuse. I wouldn’t put it past them to train explicitly for walking in front of a vehicle (CBP had to explicitly ban this practice in 2010).

A friend that randomly sends me photographs of my work in his house — because he notices how the light changes it — makes me immeasurably happy.

A photograph of a screenprint by Jeffrey Dell, in a domestic setting, with the light of the day swindling. The screenprint shows a sort of rainbow, broken into facets by the accordion gold surface that it’s on. The title is ‘Broken Rainbow’

Every night I see one or two police drones flying in a preset formation above San Marcos, TX. Once there was a private drone very near our house, hovering, and it turned its lights off (like it was trying to not be seen). This ambiguity between police and private drones is a real problem.
