Okay, now I'm definitely bumping Gun, Germs and Steel on my list. I knew of facets of the violence of European trade, but I hadn't really considered mentioned here (and Walter Rodney talks about this as well): Europeans obsessed over "efficient" violence, a way to get a guaranteed kill beyond skill. I can't say I can point a concrete path, but there's something to do with Rome in this.

I love reading because people will say A but then you read B, C and D and it shows how not only A is wrong but was warned against by B, C and D for decades!
Then I can go mute people who keeping boosting A

I wish someone had a This Week in Fedi Dev newsletter (if one exists and I don't know, this is an invitation to link one) because there's things like https://github.com/Letterbook/, https://fedify.dev/, https://elk.zone/home and the like that aren't Mastodon and we need more things like this

I know there's still a big contingent of people who believe that, at its core, the United States can be a force for good.
And I want to remind you that it's never been the case for those who don't fit the image or ideology of the core of America: colonial Europeanized identities (or an alliance to it), wealth (by means of forced capital extraction) and imperial moves (like having thousands of bases around the world and being the largest contributor to child slavery around the globe).
This is the type of shit that a state government aligned to those values and its acolytes sign off on.

Glad I found this photo in Nextcloud because the use of the term "racism" gets confused as "ouchie, my feelings" and it's not that at all.

This book, "The Source of Self Regard" has been a hit for me and I'm still halfway through.
This is the first page, written in 2019.

I'm in volume 4 of Kernel, a techno-optimist magazine with contributions I'm more than glad to be next to.
You can get your copy at https://shop.kernelmag.io/products/kernel-4?variant=40975508635721
I was inspired to write for them after reading two articles in volume 3, namely "When the computer is the witness" and "No girls on the Internet"!
(also more people should try doing this! I didn't think it'd work out but here we are!)

Waking up to read the White House is deciding to ignore the statement of the young students protesting the government's need to feed genocide and for media outlets to call them "hate-filled foreign students" is the first loud bell of the covert fascist alignment domestically of the American project.
Biden's already opened claimed to be a Zionist so it shouldn't be too shocking but this is now a soft declaration of anti-dissent sentiment.

Hearing Shawn Fein mention the importance of literature that shaped his ability to organize and the role that faith in members and their capabilities touches home for me. Organizing people is about making their collective voices louder than their opposition. Organizing workers turns into making corporate (mis)management incapable of abusing their private governance and forces them to treat them as people.

Sydette Henry (AKA The Black Amazon).
I'm not going to be able to do her justice here. An unwavering beacon in how online civil spaces can look like for ALL people (because of her focus on keeping online spaces safe for BIPOC trickles up), she needs help raising money. I've thrown in and I'm willing to match up another $200 for any other contributions folks can make.
