there is a ghost in the machine which i’m unsure if i want to have it remain inside or exorcise it
we’ll see
of encryption, broadcasting and music, i’ve been mucking around piecing together makeshift speakers and converting a piano to become this strange audio-textual encryption machine

An Israeli think tank issued a report on October 17 promoting the "unique and rare opportunity" for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”
Hey everyone, I'm almost halfway to the goal, need to book the flights soon, would love to to keep the momentum going!

spotted this one just yesterday on a walk!
Palestinians hold deep skepticism of courts based on generations of Israeli abuse. But the ICC warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant are a moment to expose the contradictions of the American Empire and put a crack in the veneer of impunity.

Hamra, Beirut where last night’s Israeli strike took place hours before the ceasefire. Looks like it hit a currency exchange shop.
Many displaced families in the commercial neighborhood have already packed up to return to southern Lebanon and Beirut southern suburbs.
Our lives have been a one long intractable war interrupted by short intervals of ceasefires and not the other way around. We will never know peace until liberation from Israel‘s oppression and domination.
truly thrilled to find you on here god knows you are missed on fascist bird site!
Smoke seen rising after Israel bombed Beirut
Amidst talks of an imminent ceasefire, Israel just bombed Beirut. They have now issued multiple threats again, this time in Haret Hreik and Burj Barajneh. #Lebanon

hello!
a brief introduction!
as an artist / musician / writer my work revolves around human-machine relationships & intimacies
i 💜 bicycles in all its radical + transformative dimensions
the most urgent aspect of my work of late is solidarity with Palestine, from radio broadcasts to mutual aid
recent mutuals on cursed bird site!
not my work and you probably already read it, but i found Max Ajl’s latest paper really good!

This is the musical arm of the e/acc movement, it’s apocalyptic kleptocracy in aims of an accelerated downfall to further fund more profitable surveillance miltech and using AI to deny ppl healthcare, much like Daniel Ek’s other startup ventures. You need to grasp there is no apolitical media now.
