“It rained heavily last night.
Our clothes, blankets, mattresses, everything got soaked.
We were freezing… truly freezing.
Living in a tent has become unbearable… feels like a disaster every day.
We try to protect ourselves from the rain, but we still end up sitting in water inside the tent.
We are a family of seven and the tent can’t hold us but we keep trying.
We keep holding on.
Please, we need your help to move somewhere safer.”

Anarcho-syndicalist. non-binary person. they/them, also bisexual.

people call the UK "TERF island" and while not exactly _wrong_ this doesn't reflect my experience of the day to day reality of living here
in my experience, nobody 'on the ground' gives a shit. cops, landlords, nurses, doctors, all of these had plenty of opportunity to be transphobic or interphobic and if they actually did it was rather well concealed
it's true that it is systemically and politically transphobic and GRCs are awful, but as someone who doe…

I really like it here and enjoy it, perhaps, most of any online text box.
But, regrettably, circumstances have conspired to require me to make a living. This takes up an inordinate amount of time. So, the best I have been able to manage is to drop newsy bits or Gist links.

There are over a million people living in the city of Prague. It’s one of the most touristy places in Europe and, in my eyes, probably the most beautiful place Europe has to offer.

For context—Google Maps doesn’t offer bike navigation here, Apple Maps only added it in the last update, and Mapy (the Czech app) does a good job with hikes and all the rest—but not with bikes.

Finished "Lobizona" by Romina Garber. I have extremely mixed feelings about this book. It's a powerful depiction of the fear of living as an undocumented child/teen and it has interesting things to say about rejection, belonging, and the choice between seeking to be recognized for who you are and wanting you blend in enough to be accepted as normal. However, it's also an explicit homage to Harry Potter, and while it doesn't include antisemitic tropes or glorify slavery or even have any anti-trans sentiments I can detect, to me the magical school setup felt forced and I thought it would have been a better book had it not tried to fit that mould. Also, it would have been a super interesting situation to explore trans issues, and while it's definitely fine for it not to do that, the author's praise of Rowling's work has me wondering...
There's a sequel that I think could in theory be amazing, but given the execution of the first book, I think I'll wait a bit before checking it out. By putting her main character in opposition to both ICE in the human world and the magical authorities in the other world, Garber explicitly sets the stage for a revolution standing between her protagonist and any kind of lasting peace. But I'm not confident she's capable of writing that story without relying on some kind of supernatural deus ex machina, which would be disappointing to me, since "a better world if only possible through divine intervention" is an inherently regressive message.
Overall, #OwnVoices fantasy centering an undocumented immigrant is an excellent thing, and I've certainly got a lot of privilege that surely influences my criticism. However, #OwnVoices stuff has a range of levels of craft and political stances, and it can be excellent for some reasons and mediocre for others.
On that point, if anyone reading this has suggestions for fiction books grappling with borders and the carceral state, Is be happy to hear them.

What's especially interesting, and dangerous to capitalism, is that there are a lot of opportunities that come out of this.
Corporations are destroying everything. We actually don't need them. We can build mutual aid networks, guerilla gardening, library socialism... When we stop with consumerism, we can find the joy in actually living, creating, being a creative human rather than simply a consumer. With a bit of momentum we can bend the system to our will. With enough momentum we can shatter it completely and free ourselves from this trap.
Things can go a lot of different ways. I'm excited to see how things go.

Picture the human body. Zoom in on a single cell. It lives for a while, then splits or dies, as part of a community of cells that make up a particular tissue. This community lives together for many many cell-lifetimes, each performing their own favorite function and reproducing as much as necessary to maintain their community, consuming the essential resources they need and contributing back what they can so that the whole body can live for decades. Each community of cells is interdependent on the whole body, but also stable and sustainable over long periods of time.
Now imagine a cancer cell. It has lost its ability to harmonize with the whole and prioritize balance, instead consuming and reproducing as quickly as it can. As neighboring tissues start to die from its excess, it metastasizes, always spreading to new territory to fuel its unbalanced appetite. The inevitable result is death of the whole body, although through birth, that body can create a new fresh branch of tissues that may continue their stable existence free of cancer. Alternatively, radiation or chemotherapy might be able to kill off the cancer, at great cost to the other tissues, but permitting long-term survival.
To the cancer cell, the idea of decades-long survival of a tissue community is unbelievable. When your natural state is unbounded consumption, growth, and competition, the idea of interdependent cooperation (with tissues all around the body you're not even touching, no less) seems impossible, and the idea that a tissue might survive in a stable form for decades is ludicrous.
"Perhaps if conditions were bleak enough to perfectly balance incessant unrestrained growth against the depredations of a hostile environment it might be possible? I guess the past must have been horribly brutal, so that despite each tissue trying to grow as much as possible they each barely survived? Yes, a stable and sustainable population is probably only possible under conditions of perfectly extreme hardship, and in our current era of unfettered growth, we should rejoice that we live in much easier times!"
You can probably already see where I'm going with this metaphor, but did you know that there are human communities, alive today, that have been living sustainably for *tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years*?

P.S. if you're someone who likes to think about past populations and historical population growth, I cannot recommend the (short, free) game Opera Omnia by Stephen Lavelle enough: increpare.com/2009/02/opera-om

Tall Goldenrod — 100% living up to its name... Such a stunning sight in the November morning light! 😍
#NaturePhotography #Photography #MorningWalk

Several bushes of dry tall golden near the lake shore, the early morning light emphasizing the golden color. The water surface is a deep royal blue, completely still.
Close up view of a single goldenrod plant in front of blurred blue background.
Macro view of several small flower heads of a goldenrod plant, some of them still partially frozen.
