Depending on how the timing of the housing search pans out I plan to be moving back to Portland by July or August 🥰
Bloody hell that is a unvarnished white supremacist techno fascist imperialist manifesto. It gross & deeply concerning that Palantir is so deeply embedded in not just the US gov't but also spreading to other countries through contracts such as with the NHS in the UK.

Mutual aid request for a disabled comrade in the hospital!
Cactus has been in the ER with CSF leaks, so we’re taking turns staying with him 24/7 to advocate on his behalf. We’re asking for $300 to cover rides to/from the hospital & food for the volunteers.

Maybe forcing people to build their creative careers on private online infrastructure that can and does collapse semi-regularly wasn't the best of ideas actually

This for sure! And in art and music too. I’ve been mostly using IG lately to find interesting musicians and visual artists and even when the algorithm is correct in my realm of interest the creators it pushes first and foremost continue to be men 😤 not surprising to me, but always frustrating
that algorithm will not help you find women at all you’ve got to go into talented women’s “following” to find other talented women or you’re lost. i have to deliberately withhold engagement from the accounts of somewhat talented men just to keep the ship afloat.
i’ve been using instagram more lately and wow you really gotta keep both hands on the wheel over there or else that algorithm will have you following a bunch of men
“He came here to professionalize his hatred of Other in bloodsport & instead he finds evidence of a fact he has always feared though he’s been sheltered from it all his life: women & children hate him profoundly, have always hated him, & are always waiting for the right opportunity to undo him.”

There was some transphobic twat a few weeks go hissing about how not everything in the world is about our "pet issue" (that is, the global scapegoating of trans people and worldwide attack on trans existence) when fascists and fundamentalists take every opportunity to say it's all about gender.
Have you all not been paying attention to the way gender and anti-trans panic is the central fixation of modern reaction politics? Trans people are a synecdoche for a kind of 'decadence' and erosion of their most fundamental beliefs in order, hierarchy, and who is considered worthy of humanity.
The only way to end the sexual abuse of children who are detained and incarcerated is to stop detaining and incarcerating children. There are no "reforms" that end sexual abuse inside.

“Songbird, insurrectionary” is now fully published and free to download (with the option to donate)! In it I offer a feminist historical/political analysis of border regime and argue that the insurgent front is filled with women and children screaming. ko-fi.com/s/34c43916ae
That's all the events we have for now. Got a few other things to share:
Will start with this piece from @butchanarchy.bsky.social "Songbird, insurrection". A vital piece drawing together the past, present systems of oppression related to the US border regime, harms inflicted & resistance to it
11/
the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom
woah thank you so much 🖤 i hoped to communicate these things with this piece and i’m really glad it was effective to you :) i’m pretty proud of the work and very glad to finally have it fully published today. thank you again for sharing!
Lee's piece brings together the history & exposes the Kyriarchy of border control & immigration enforcement, its myriad horrors, the pain, the harms. It also speaks of the resistance past & present, the bredth, depth & those on the forefront of both.
Read it.

Telling conservative women that men hate them isn't really a dunk or a "gotcha" because they knew that, and their whole worldview is based on navigating a world where the best they can aspire to is the favor of specific men who hate them.
We're well past the point where we should understand this.
To be quite blunt, I am quite shocked at how few people seem to understand conservative women, given that most of us probably grew up around at least one. Conservative women do not think men like women. They do not expect men to. They have a very fatalistic view of the world and their place in it.
I just want to emphasize how deeply this goes for right-wingers. What may appear like a contradiction or “false consciousness” is a profound dedication to bordering regime. To such an extent that some will, with glad intent, make their corpses a part of its infrastructure.
