I'm also [email protected] but I wanted a separate account for more anarchist collective stuff.

I write science fiction, social justice essays, and organizing materials. I worldbuild and create music sometimes. I have a very fluffy cat named Sgt. Quark Amaya McFluffers. They/them pronouns.

Hi Y'all. I am moving to [email protected]! That will be my new anarchist and community building account going forward. So bear with me as I transfer my account, and if you get a follower request from that account -- don't worry, it's just me! :) Thanks all!

More than that, I want difference. I want to see ideas I've never had. Art that doesn't speak to me. Ways of being that are nothing like what I know. I want a world of color and strangeness and new-old things that all have a place wherein we celebrate the possibilities of infinite diversity.

There's a certain kind of techbro who thinks it's a knock-down argument to say "Well, you haven't built anything". As if the only people whose expertise counts are those close to the machine. I'm reminded (again) of
@timnitGebru 's wise comments on "the hierarchy of knowledge". >>

Biden claimed earlier today on Twitter that "We have the tools to make sure COVID doesn't leave its mark on 2023 like it did in years past."

I call Bullshit - they can spend an extra $80 Billion on the Pentagon for weapons, but no free N95 masks for us?

The federal government ended the free N95 mask program months ago!

Urge the White House and Congress to Mail free N95 Masks to the Public! Send an email here:

If you are wondering
“what it’s like
to wear masks for COVID
when most others
have long since moved on”
it is like heaving
a bucket of water
at a burning building
while all around you
others are throwing
buckets of gas
and all of you are together
in that burning building.

Attacks on the US power grid — a preferred method of attack among extremists, particularly accelerationists — have surged to a decade-high peak this year, with more than 100 attacks reported in the first 8 months of 2022. So that’s not even including the recent spate of attacks in NC, SC, FL, GA, WA, & OR.

These kinds of attacks are seen by extremists as a crucial step towards inciting a race war.

Physical attacks on power grid surge to new peak

People are shooting, sabotaging and vandalizing electrical equipment in the U.S. at a pace unseen in at least a decade, amid signs that domestic extremists hope to use blackouts to sow unrest.

I made a list of Mastodon instances that were great for those seeking inclusive, accessible spaces that are well moderated. Except it was on Facebook to convince peeps there to come here (I plan to delete Twitter and FB soon as deactivating seems to be a privacy hazard these days).

And... I was an idiot and forgot to copy/paste it into a notepad just in case before attempting to post.

Facebook Marked Every Single Server As Spam.

I'm not surprised, but I'm mad at myself for not backing up the post before I attempted to post it. Ugh.

The folks of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation are in real trouble. We can help.

Friends Of Pine Ridge and First Families Now are providing supplies and heating to the affected families.

If you can afford it, you can donate here:
https://www.1stfamiliesnow.org/donate

And for everyone who boosts this post, I'll add another dollar to my next donation. So, uh, go wild.

This year:
Nobody freezes.
Nobody starves.
Nobody goes it alone.

Thousands trapped on Pine Ridge burn clothes for warmth in wake of storm

With a twinge of cold in her toes and a tone of concern tinted by exhaustion, Anna Halverson relayed the message: “We’re in a really extreme emergency down here.”
