@genevieve i thought PM was kind of the same as spore? Might not be disappearing but my understanding was that PM was majorly scaling back
De-linked my tweets, seems with the collapse of Project Mushroom that this space isn't going to work out as intended? And feel bad spamming your TLs when I'm not on here to reply to stuff as much

Pre-ordering Witness: An Insider's Narrative on the Carceral State by Lyle C. May, an incarcerated journalist who is unable to be on social media to promote it because of state law––just another way incarcerated people are cut off from the outside world.

Shelter in place has been lifted, and this says four people were injured in addition to one person killed. Absolutely tragic.

Multiple people injured in active shooter situation in Midtown Atlanta
Atlanta police are investigating an active shooter inside a building on West Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta.
Meanwhile judges and prosecutors are making bogus arguments to keep stop cop city supporters in cages, white vigilantes are murdering people who have been abandoned and targeted by the state…none of it needs to be like this
They’re saying the suspect is a 24 year old. My heart breaks especially for everyone hurt, and also for this young person. Why did it happen? What could have prevented it? Certainly not more policing and surveillance. We need so much more.
Nothing profound but days like this are bleak. Getting texts from your mom to make sure you haven’t been literally shot dead, and knowing that there will be another shooting in another city tomorrow, all because of the policy choices that powerful people make every day…
