thinkin about money 

pondering my christmas wishlist, with multiple several-hundred-dollar items on it, and then thinking about my friends who struggle to get the money for food and rent

anxious prose poem 

the movement of a pendulum is described by the force of gravity and the potential and kinetic forces on its weight. it is constrained by the metal rod of fixed length holding it to the fulcrum around which it swings.

what defines me? what forces define me?

i am described by the gravity of my physical needs and the potential and kinetic forces of my struggle to fulfill them. i am constrained by the monetary rod holding me to a fulcrum about which i am swung.

money flows into and out of me like motion on a puck of metal; i am pulled by forces external to me; like a puck of metal, i cannot act upon myself; i'm left swinging; i know when i come to a standstill is when the bills stop.

like a puck of metal, i feel like my shape doesn't matter as much as what can be extracted from me. i want to be my shape. i want to loop around the fulcrum. i want to exist beyond phase space. i want to create. i want to scream. i want to sleep. i want to care and be cared for. i want to cut this fucking rod out of me.

i remain swinging.

Christmas is coming so with it I post my favorite meme for the occasion.

My late husband J-P was one of those who resist the attempts by marketers to shoehorn "Black Friday" into the celebrations of a country that doesn't even celebrate Thanksgiving.

He created this very simple website - please share it widely today!

.? Hi fedi!

So…this is very not working, so it's (past) time to try asking yall.

We have a low-level security certification (so we figured for months that's where we were headed), but we're beyond being particularly picky. We can code, or do helpdesk, or whatever really. We know things and we learn quickly.

Would you, or do you know anycreature who would, be willing to talk with us and maybe give us a chance, instead of summarily rejecting us because we don't have all the pretty pieces of paper? I really think that's all we need: a real chance to prove ourself.

We'd give more information upfront, but we're already /very/ uncomfortable with this post, so we're gonna leave it there. Sorry for the vagueness.

found a subreddit called r/somnivexillology where people post flags that they dreamed

" the fact that anarchist praxis has to start small and build organically, experimenting, forming networks, federating etc, is not a weakness – it’s the only way that a self-organised system can effectively grow and adapt. Even the cleverest scheme for large scale communism is functionally useless at the present moment, and won’t be much better in some future revolutionary situation because it can’t take the specific material circumstances of that situation into account." - Dave Tulley
