Any sufficiently advanced disaster preparedness is indistinguishable from revolutionary dual power. This essay is a bit of a transition between the theory I've written earlier, and more concrete plans.
Even though I only touched on my life on the commune, it was hard not to write more. These are such weird spaces, with so much invisible opportunity. But they're also just so unique and special. For all the stress and uncertainty of making sure you stayed on Lorean's (the head priestess), there were also those long summer nights with the whole community (except the old lady) gathered around a fire, talking and drinking. There was almost a child-like play to the whole time.
There were so Fridays I'd come home with a couple of gallons of beer from the real world, folks would bring things from the garden, someone would grill a steak, everyone who didn't cook would clean up, and we'd just hang out and have fun. So many evenings I'd go over to Miles place with a guitar, or with his guitar, and we'd pass it around over a few beers, talking about philosophy, Star Wars, or some book or other. It's hard not to write about the strange magic of that space.
My partner and I bonded over similar experiences, mine on a weird little religious commune in California and theirs as a temporary worker at Omega Institute. Both had exploitation, people on weird power trips, frustrating dynamics, but also a strange magic and freedom. Both were sort of fantasy worlds, but places that let us see through this one, let us imagine something that something else is possible behind the veil.
There are many such veils.
Perhaps it's fitting that this is more meandering, as a good wander can help the transition between lots of hard thinking and lots of hard working.

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist,
and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest.
Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Heute - 21. Januar 2026 - ist kein guter Tag: Trump kapert das Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos und posaunt seine wirren Übernahmepläne für Grönland heraus und weiteren Unsinn heraus. In einem seiner Posts sind Kanada und Grönland mit der US-Fahne eingefärbt. Bei uns in #Darmstadt #Ewwerscht findet…

In den letzten Tagen vermehrt Menschen mit Masken im ÖPNV gesehen. Frage mich, wieso die Menschen nur zu Weihnachten nicht krank werden wollen?
Also Leute: Heute ist ein guter Tag um ohne Maske Bahn zu fahren, damit ihr nicht zur Familienweihnacht müsst …

When #OVH states their event is held entirely in English but then you come to the two hour keynote and it's entirely in French without any bullet points or subtitles. So that was a damn lie. Hardest listening comprehension exercise of this year.
Very French, I'll have to make sure to take @…
