You’re not apolitical, you’re unapologetically privileged.

look at this and imagine if 30+ people got together for a sharp operation this way but instead of robbing a store they forcibly removed a terrorist regime leader from a government building.

you don't have to be Delta Force to organise, train, rehearse, and take action in defense of life and decency.

The way to Mount Doom is open for hobbits. The only thing prohibiting ring transport are 50,000 orcs, giant spiders, Nazgul patrolling the skies for eagles, and a giant malevolent flaming lidless eye, tirelessly casting its gaze here and there.

Given certain material inputs, the web is designed to be resilient. Probably something to do with its Cold War origins.

But its technological momentum has arisen during “the end of history”, a time in which we’ve progressively learned anti-resilient practices.

Now that history is very much *in our face*, I hope we can begin to relearn the wisdom of its deliberate layering

Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight"

Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃

Just think about how radical the fediverse is: a place for real human connections and communities where no single individual or business is in charge.

No crypto companies pouring in money and hoping for a big payoff some day.

We make the fediverse together. And for that I am grateful to each one of you. Thank you for sticking around!

I know I'd be preaching to the choir here, and also, apologies about the Substack link, but this might be worth sharing with some of your friends who are still stuck on X/Twitter: They're in a pretty bad company there.
