What a brilliant piece. It reads like a fictional journey to a fictional society in part because she is describing a cult. A man more or less LARPing into oblivion while causing harm in the medium and short term.

My institution is a level 1 trauma center and receives many of the people who are injured falling off the wall in the San Diego area. This article has some stories of the real families he’s mocking.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

I absolutely know who needs to hear this, though I won’t name names. Progressive orgs need to stop pretending that “AGI” and “x-risk” are ideas to take seriously. No one is building a computer god that could go rogue and turn us into paper clips.

poem from my little chap with @the-ethelzine.bsky.social

Dialogue

Judith and her Maidservant (1613-14)

Where shall we put the head?

It drips through the basket.
Put your hair in braids tonight, my love.
Set pearls in your ears.

We have tasks. Tasks that require
a weapon. Tie your laces. Bring

a basket. Bring your mother's
basket, the one that could hold

a pig's head. Bring a white cloth.

✨Meet Rogue✨ Rogue is pretty much always with Willow. He's not a fan of clutter, keeping his space clean and tidy. When it comes to snacks, he's not picky or remotely hesitant. Rogue can often be seen swimming, dreaming about swimming, or enjoying some time in the sun to dry out from swimming.

✨Meet Peanut✨ Peanut is a senior beaver and possibly the most opinionated. She loves yams, but don't even talk about beets. Beets are OUT. Our wildlife health team reports that she's a great patient, actively participating in her geriatric care.

From experience in survivor work, the default to "restorative justice" is just part of rape culture. It uses more academic and supposedly liberatory jargon in spaces where traditional patriarchal and religious excuses for abuse wouldn't get as much traction, but to the exact same ends. Nothing more.

Notably, this is also the way, though usually with "transformative justice," that abuse culture often plays out in leftist spaces, as sharply detailed here: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/word...

You can’t reason with a person who doesn’t recognize that women, Palestinians, children, poor people etc are fellow human beings. Imagine thinking a writing assignment is reparations for any crime against another person’s humanity. Everything a perpetrator owns isn’t enough to make it right.

People are disappearing incredibly quickly. And part of the invisibility is that just when we need even more capacity for rapid response and patrols, public interest has turned away because people don't think it's a problem anymore. We're tired.

A pile of whistle kits. In front is the Spanish Form A Crowd zine and a whistle. Every other kit is obscured by the others. The kits also include the How To Report ICE zine with the LA UdB rapid response number.
