it was a beautiful day in seattle yesterday. decided to walk to the park and smoke (assumed it would be empty)

instead there was a ragtag brass band with people spread out in the park (more than 6ft, no large groups)

(i didnt smoke, too many kids)

I think about this tweet a lot:

If you want a straightforward, practical project to help contribute to leftist, anticapitalist, and anarchist movements, then learn a new language. It is without a doubt one of the most limiting factors in our movements.

What is happened in Iran earlier this year? If I knew farsi I could maybe tell you, but instead I just know what the NYT said happened.

- 2016: everyone expects gif support in every chat app. giphy becomes the standard
- 2017: #signal builds encrypted, secure giphy support in their app
- 2017 - 2020: countless petty techmen complain about implementing something "pointless" when there are "more important" things to do

2020: FB buys giphy, turning every giphy gif into FB tracking and data-collecting software. Allowing them unprecedented reach into non-FB apps to allow them to correlate with the rest of their data stores

I know fedi is mostly people who have been hit hard by the layoffs, so all i am really asking is if you can share this link on mainstream social sites if you still have an account on them 🙏

Britney Spears calls for a general strike, implores fans to “redistribute wealth”

I think I must be experiencing a fever dream

is OR just not testing? how are the numbers so low being between CA and WA??

#covid19 #covid #pnw

It's kind of like a general strike

But fuck I just want a hug

the exclusion of anticapitalistic perspectives in the commentariat becomes very apparent when they say "X industry shouldn't be affected"

we are people, with friends and family, not cogs. we are all affected.

The giant apparatus corporations use to externalize the cost of socially reproducing us for the next day of work has broken down and been replaced by anxiety and physical isolation

that will/is affecting everyone fuck off

a manager where i work was saying that his friend (brother? i dont remember) is "getting screwed" bc he owns a lot of apartments across the US and because of the moratoriums on evictions tenants are choosing to not pay rent "just because they know they can get away with it"

in case you needed to be reminded that landlords are fucking terrible leeches

no rent-based evictions in seattle till covid-19 isn't a crisis? Am I reading this right?
