Trump’s first month in DC; what to do as an aspiring lawyer getting laid off in Trump’s second term; vulnerability as solidarity-building opportunity; instability and the bad deals we’re offered in its face; Walter Benjamin’s derailment of the train and the end of Snowpiercer; technofascism on the rise; is an accelerationist framework necessary?; fred moten’s undercommons and stealthy autonomous zones seeding resistance; navigating homelessness as important skill

if I punch at the machine will it make a dent ,, Before I crack my hand open on the titanium steel and my blood slides off leaving no stains? 

After the fires, will I know how to leave what’s dead? 

Sometimes it feels like something went wrong and that’s why we’re here, that we’re in some kind of cosmic cage or simulated psy-op. We become in the face of simulations and psy-ops, and from wrongness spring. syncretism is for the honorable and dishonorable alike. 

In thought and in body, no one, not two, in sky and seed sewn, we dream up shadows to love through and hold their calloused hands, shaping change in the nether pool from breath to breath and coming up again and again seeking vistas of freedom. We embody a haunted perspective and witness the chaos from above.

 The mutant spirit still lives among us!

Learn from the labyrinths in breathing mountains. 

How do you look and where are you looking? 

Note when you’re stuck, put sugar on your tradition-pills, and record before flight. 

Your wax wings are warmer than you think. When you plummet and hit the mud, how does that feel to rot with glee--to decay with me?

Like the process of radioactive decay in unstable atoms, degeneration yields a more sustainable future.
