Last Notes npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke The audacious incompetency is the thing that gets me. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke Part of the issue is that there is a threshold of atrocity where it reabstracts itself into something you cant do anything about. I was just griping about how bearing witness doesnt do enough after a certain point but alienate - my angle is more on the 'what do we do about it' and the answer being 'bear more witness and drag others into it' and that being demotivational if you already have been shaken by it - no, you want an outlet to fight back, not pass along the worst things youve ever seen. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke Amen Sister, and it can be a huge pain in the ass to collect all that info if its in disparate places, buuuuuuut, if you ever need that hardcopy to phonetree your way through things, you'll be glad you did it and maintained it when you need it. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke *takes of keffiyeh to reveal face tattoo of keffiyeh* npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke For a second I was like 'what is the Ghost Busters Baddie doing with a small dog' and then I was like...wait a second....wait a freaking second, this is Silence of the Lambs shit. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke OH. MY. GOD. (this is a particular type of shitpost I admire) npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke Writing "Why Quakers Make Good Anarchists" tongue in cheek to raise the question of why cohorts outside of aware and actualized secular Anarchism somehow do just fine by themselves and others outside of themselves and seem to like one another more. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke That cohort isn't all that, they're just an obstinate bloc that doesn't know how to ask for help it think it doesn't need, in a coalition environment, today, July 5th 2024. And you're like 'actually theyre right about this even if they put a wet paper sack over their head and need all of you doubters to help everyone in the world right now' You can keep trying to drive this back towards thee actionable, but I will keep telling you why its not good tack. There's a lotta days till november, you got the time to talk about the why more than the what. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke I'm giving you the skinny on why nobody on the supposed outside believes you and your rhetoric on this. I mean, how close are you to Bowman's district? Maybe go talk to folks that pushed him through once about how theyre feeling today on the credibility of this whole thing. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke Indeed we will, and my experience from CHOP/CHAZ is that there wasn't a predicate enough understanding of how this all can go before showing up as the thing to do. Basically, the cohesion that brought us together in June had started coming apart by the end of July and a kind of coda on that was in September with a huge turnout to a bad beat on a march and that being pretty much that. I will never stop thinking about how much some folks coulda used a breather in their own back yard rather than summoning themselves to my neighborhood where whatever is supposed to resemble organizing in the way we hope for was hit or miss and started generating more misses as more folks didn't hang. Or get chewed by the attempts to organize and find their folks. Some of us even at the time and as it came to a close were somewhat adamant that there had to be some elemental decentralized and distributed action because the moment had kinda passed and nothing was really working with all eyes on us at all times because it was the place to be. In my mind, I keep turning over 'something for anyone wherever they are and without others' to maybe be a way to pre-seed situational and operational awareness and cognizance when the fires of ire woosh in once again? npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke If there was ever the need for a practical atomized partisan zine to making plays including linking up with larger or playing in turn with larger, it's now, given conditions. What can one partisan do in resistance that wouldn't be more forceful with a dozen? That needs to be found for those that are not going to chart it themselves for the first time, a neophyte. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke Rational or not, it really is profoundly nonsensical that the party that steeps itself in Serious Administration and Management of The State, selected a perfectly Democratic Party Politician to be next in line, and faced with moments that would call on her to take over the driving wheel, the party finds itself incapable of doing such. For reasons mentioned here and beyond. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke Someone asking aloud online why clearance rates have gone down as forensics have improved and trying not to Kool-Aid Man through their wall with 'Sounds like a lot of innocent people got ramrodded through the courts with bullshit charges to pin a murder and kayfabe clearance, ooooooh noooooooo' npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke how bad must one be to get dunked on by Sam? SAM! npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke I'm super curious now! I haven't had any specific food reactions, although 2 beers is automatic night night for me now, but that might be age plus not drinking much anymore. The weirdest one right in the aftermath was losing a significant patch of facial hair in a tight spot to become as smooth as an egg, for like 3 months. I shaved every other day during that time cause it was THAT pronounced. Luckily it grew back so I can shave once a week and look decent. npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke jfc, what is this even?! npub1nmwh363fuya9an4l92p7c7k5rpg8hg6pmcjs908czfsh9349cuhqs7xaks Ciggy Bringer of Smoke There are 500 teslas packed like sardines in a Missouri parking lot Just sitting there Waiting https://kolektiva.social/system/media_attachments/files/112/587/685/087/408/370/original/583b62bc7efa273c.png
