reading the wikipedia article on wall street is a trip

the start is indigenous usurpation and horrific slavery, and the end is bankers crying about how mean everyone was to them

"Don’t shut them out because their politics are outdated or they don’t wield the same language. If we are interested in building the mass movements needed to destroy mass oppression, our movements must include people not like us, people with whom we will never fully agree, and people with whom we have conflict. That’s a much higher calling than railing at people from a distance and labeling them as wrong."

good things need to happen to my friends!!!

I put down my northeast foot,
four round toes, one round pad,
in the dirt by the madrone,
in the dust by the madrone
on the mountain.
I put down my southeast foot,
four round toes, one round pad,
in the dirt by the live oak,
in the dust by the live oak
in the foothills.
I am standing in the middle
of the lion world
on the mountain of the lion,
in the hills of the lion.
I am standing in the tracks of the lion.

Our work is the first one that shows evasion attacks can be used as defensive techniques for privacy protection.

one of the things i forget to do pretty often is visualize good outcomes, but it's so helpful to me to do so

i think it's important though to give yourself that chance though, to consider what it looks like if the things that worry you work out

they might be more possible or likely than you think

i certainly wish i'd listened when i was first taught this

one of the things the army will tell you about CPR is that you should continue until you are no longer capable, or a medic has relieved you

they also say you need to push *hard*, and if you break the casualty's ribs, no fucking problem, their heartbeat is much more important than the shape of their ribcage

this is important advice imo

keep pushing

keep your friends and loved ones alive

do not stop until they are cared for or breathing on their own
