Reposted by 🎵 sinister toothbrush 🏴Lee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 11hSeeking “accountability” as a political goal does not appeal to me. Not on a macro or a micro scale. I don’t take responsibility for changing hearts or minds. And, too often, it seems to run cover for certain styles of intimate coercion. When my enemies make themselves I take them at their word. 214216
Reposted by 🎵 sinister toothbrush 🏴Lee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Reminder that “carceral logic” is literally about state and medical *incarceration* in its various forms. It is NOT a shorthand for “any social consequences happening at all.” If a response doesn’t include involving organized authoritarian apparatuses and agents: it’s not carceral! 419155
Reposted by 🎵 sinister toothbrush 🏴Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · 28/09/2026make no mistake: anyone telling you AI is “just like the dot com bubble” or “just like Amazon web services or uber” is beyond misinformed, verging into the realms of actually wanting to know less about the world. It means they have never actually looked at any of the numbers. Or they can’t count. 864556
Reposted by 🎵 sinister toothbrush 🏴Lee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The poltical pressure to capitulate on PPE is immense: on every individual who wears masks, on every event that requires it, on every social group that maintains it as a norm. The goal is to wipe every trace of what we remind them of from awareness. To mask is a regular practice in resistance. 017946
Reposted by 🎵 sinister toothbrush 🏴Lee Cicuta @butchanarchy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Let’s not forget that the precautions we associate with Covid (clean air, PPE like masks) were *lessons* more of us learned in the earlier stages of the pandemic. Lessons that, applied, can protect from many other viral illnesses and create greater access for immunocompromised people. 218124
