Denmark is turning off the white light from its streetlamps and painting a road red to solve a nighttime crisis that almost no one sees: urban light was blocking the path of bats Denmark turned part of a road red to protect bats and cut the hidden damage caused by white streetlights.

incredible scenes in denmark: upon discovering that they had been doing something harmful, they decided to stop doing it, and do something else.

much to consider.

Anyways, if I haven’t said it in a day: Fuck literally everything that is not small, handmade, indie, moneyless, mutual aid-oriented. I hope tech & governments & militaries everywhere a big fucking beautiful death. GOODNIGHT.

Also, I’m working on a concept album.

Will it rule? I mean, probably. #music #makers #artists #fuckyourmachines #aicansuckit

I have a totally new writing project well passed the halfway point. It’s chapbook sized, but I am hopeful someone will give it a chance out there. (Still trying to find the poetry a home, novel abandoned for now). #writing #makers #fuckyourmachines #aicansuckit

The Western Left’s Erasure of Anarchists in the So-called “Third World” Imperialism works and reigns victorious over the world; shall you be an imperialist because it “works?” We anarchists already know the answer: yes, Marxists shall become imperialists because it works.

“We anarchists in imperialized nations know we are a minority. We are not like Marxists who seek to proclaim gospels and anoint converts. We are not here to proclaim anarchism but anarchy, for people to freely act under their own power. Freedom is a constant struggle.”

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

We even got to interview @firestorm.coop a few years ago. They’re the nicest people who genuinely walk the walk.

A collective photo taken at Firestorm Books. Our team, including five humans and two dogs, is sitting on the sidewalk in front of the building looking relaxed. The sky is bright but cloudy and flags on the building hang without any indication of wind. The building is painted forest green and various posters and signs are visible in the windows, which reflect the sky. The largest reads "Immigrants Welcome."

Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. 1/9

Now we’re at a world wide conflict with oil and soon food shortages looming. Every poor country and every poor person will feel its effects. Because you chose oil over renewables?? Because you chose imperialism ?? Wake tf up, all of you did this.

Honestly tired of this. Every nation on earth had a chance to stop Israel from blowing up Gaza, Lebanon and other countries. You had two and a half years. Instead you chose suppression & criminalization of protest and letting the US lead, with Israel rampaging continuously.

Trump is a diagnosable narcissist, he might even be a psychopath considering his past. Unfortunately that comes with stuff like erratic moods & not sticking to things. He isn’t well.

Current read. Published early 2000s. Egyptian, translated. It was huge in the Arab publishing world when it came out.

All kinds of stuff re: class, colonialism, marriage, religion, who’s fuckin’ who.

Thankful for the glossary of names in the front.

What does it mean to prioritize politics over profit? Fernwood has been profiled in a few media pieces that attempt to discredit the public funding of arts and culture. These folks think it’s a waste for public money to be spent on a publisher that is po...

In light of recent media pieces arguing that public funds are wasted when they come to our publishing company, we have decided to write a short article about why we remain committed to putting our political commitments over profit-making.

They can sell you out though, as they have done in the past. I think they’ve also funded Trump etc ? Idk, I do use them for now as they seem relatively safer.

I got super into this for some reason, especially when mixed with fucked up early to mid 20th c women writing them. Whew.

I got Friends S2 last month on DVD for $8 which has been one of the best inconsequential decisions ever. Supports a lil mom n pop / gives zero money to studios. I don’t have to think about what to watch with dinner & then spend an hour on my phone instead because I couldn’t decide. Makes me laugh.

Slowly going through this one. Hamid argues against democracy. That it is a farce and an empty promise, that it comes with shrapnel, threats and bombs. If we must be anything, let it always be against tyranny. #booksky #haymarketbooks #indiepublishing

This is a Lib take. Did you mean whose white persons feelings does this hurt? Chain chocolate pudding harms a whole fuckload of people as well as animals if you bothered to look into it or care. Funding zionists like Sarah J Mas is being pro genocide. Have you looked into who publishes your books?

I know we shouldn’t be mentioning the man who wrote it but so much makes me think of Transmetropolitan, including that government officials just tweet and post things online like it isn’t super fucking weird. Their condolences and also their threats. #comics #comicbooks #comicsky

Angine de Poitrine are just another example of how when something explodes out of Quebec it’s always new and weird as fuck

Wish I got tix to the little bar show in Hull this month because argh I can’t with festivals #mathrock #progrock

No way…..

What Is Security Culture? A security culture is a set of customs shared by a community whose members may be targeted by the government, designed to minimize risk. Having a security culture in place saves everyone the troubl...

Once upon a time, only those who intended to engage in high-risk protest activity had to concern themselves with surveillance and security.

Today, surveillance and policing are becoming much more invasive and arbitrary. Even if you never violate any law, the state may try to make an example of you.

If you tend to think a lot, write reviews, essays, enjoy thinking philosophically, politically, about art etc you should submit to my blog! Send me something interesting

I fear I cannot be trusted with star ratings because even just weeks after I’ve reconsidered it already or I simply don’t get why it was rated so low or high, and sometimes despite a full review even.

The human exploitation core to developing AI is still far too often ignored or pushed down the list of harm caused by AI as it exists. The way this technology is developed should really lead to far more resistance.
