I've started collecting a list on my website of contemporary autonomous collectives. I plan on adding their rough population, so I can ultimately have a count of there are X people living in anarchy today.

@ me with more, please. (I literally just started it so it doesn't have the Zapatistas or the International Commune of Rojava, even though I've talked about like, both of those today.) But @ me with any, please!

Can someone @ me with some good resources my friend can read about contemporary British neocolonialism?

Please and thank you!

mexico: *has more than a quarter-million people living autonomously in council-controlled communities which exist in federation with neighbors while the residents labor within worker-owned businesses, for 25 years*

some white teen at the un: "capitalism is bad"

everyone white: "is this the beginning of people starting to try to live without capitalism?! I think it is! Yay white people, once again we're gonna save everyone!"

Alright so I'm not here in the Fediverse for climate strike but I gotta break that to tell y'all that I just met a man who's first name was Elim and his last name was G and /he is a tailor/.

I asked if he'd ever watched Star Trek and he said naw so I dropped it but I had to come tell y'all.

Alright, back to striking!

If you wanna make me happy, send me @'s with what you've done or thought about re: climate change. I do get notificaitons in my email, I'm just not here browsing.

Again, please take this climate strike seriously. Call out of work. Use a sick day. Do it. Stay home and watch the leaves change.

@u Your goal can't be "make this party quieter right now" until you have some sort of working relationship with the party-thrower: as you say, they're drunk, so you need to have already established what the protocl between y'all is when both parties can properly consent - i.e. both are sober.

So that means making a request that future parties be quieter, sometime when there isn't a party.

Now, you can just do this directly - go over there the day after the day after the party, 1/n

In general, if you have any specific questions about:

1) Cooking, including breadmaking, yogurt and cheesemaking, and fermentation
2) Gardening, especially urban and guerrilla, as well as composting, vermiculture, soil remediation, and apiculture
3) Workplace organization and unionization
4) Emacs or Elisp
5) Protesting or Direct Action

I am probably happy to help answer them!

Please, always feel free to ask. Not just one question, I'll be your tutor in any or all these topics.

For the first time since I set it up, the turtle is hanging out in the little cave I made him.

Today, since I'm going to an #IWW meeting, I'm wearing my favorite shirt I've ever designed! I made it for Wobblies who were involved at Occupy.

It's a cutesy sabo-tabby (the IWW cat), next to an acrostic of #ACAB, which spells out "All Cats Are Beautiful."

Those in the know might know that's not what ACAB always means - sometimes it means All Cops Are Bad.

A cool nuance toward this other spelling-out is that a cat is a worker who's damn good at their work and likes it. So yea, ACAB!

This is a photo of Keya, the turtle I rescued from a cardboard box near the dumpster... what like three weeks ago? Maybe just two.

He most prefers hanging out in this corner of his enclosure, because he can burrow through the sides of the hill and stick his head out; it's the cutest shit seeing just this craning turtle neck and head poking out of a hill staring at me.

(I plan on making his bed more decorated too.)

Y'all remember me last month talking about my buddy who got put in jail for being poor and black? Well he got picked up again and his car got impounded, and with it, the tools he used to do lawncare around town. So he's having a hard time bootstrapping himself back into anything.

Y'all know the deal: donations made to https://emsenn.net/support/ through the end of the month get forwarded to him.

I still accept donations at https://emsenn.net/support/

Until some other more pressing cause crops up, these donations will stay in my pocket. They'll go toward things like food and bills. Reminder that my dayjob pays me in free housing, so I'm reliant on donations from y'all to do things like pay for my email server.

Tomorrow one of the tenants for the building I manage is moving out to go live with his mom and brother. The brother, despite being just under 40, has really bad dementia and got denied benefits, which is why the tenant is moving.

Any donations made through July to https://emsenn.net/support/ have been forwarded to him.

He moves tomorrow, so today's the last day I can do this: any donations made to the above link will get forwarded on to person mentioned.

My new computer setup.

Parade is an experimental operating system... that would serve a environment able to... exchange content with other Parade instances, via the basic primitives.

There are no "users", "files" or "applications", in this operating system...

There is no linear hierarchy tree...

One of the goals of this operating system is to be fully operable by voice, think screenless computing...

(You gotta click the link, these excerpts don't capture a fifth of this.)

I'm making an #ActivityPub compliant (and #IndieWeb friendly) web server for myself in #Elisp, by-the-by:

#Emacs /is/ a fine operating system.

boost if someone calling you a radical leftist is a compliment

@sir No, driving people to more enthusiastically want to dismantle systems of oppression is not going to make society worse.

"Against oppression" isn't a tribe any more than "people who follow traffic laws" is a tribe. What is a tribe is a race- or class- based supremacist state.

You suggested you were looking long-term, but from my perspective, you seem very myopic. (Not intended as an insult, but to demonstrate the difference in opinion.)

[fascists approach a diverse* community]

marginalized: close the gates!
privileged: We don't know if that's the best thing to do!

m: they're getting in
p: We can reason with them!

p: Have you tried reasoning with them? They seem reasonable, when we debate them.
m: they're threatening my safety i'm going to leave

p: We're just doing our best
m: i'm leaving

p: Hmm the conflict stopped. Our best must've worked! Go us!
