I survived another bout of my joints trying to kill me, so that's nice. Now, what can we do today to continue the anarcho-commie revolution?

A real annoying thing about being creative is I'm great at ideas, but execution generally confounds me, which combined with being a #spoonie, creates difficulty. Perhaps there are #Oregon organizations that help people start housing co-ops?

I have no idea what to tag this, so perhaps boost so ppl who know a thing or 2 may see it :) #leftodon

Cops open the hood of their car like this to block dash cams. This is a signal to start filming.

Everyone's sharing the close-up image of the black hole itself, which is neat, but here is a zoomed-out view of the gigantic mass of space-stuff that it is busily consuming: http://chandra.harvard.edu/blog/node/719

The console wars were just companies getting kids to bully eachother over a product they probably couldn't afford.

All life on Earth is related. 🌍 Every living thing you’ve ever seen, every tree and insect and mushroom and lettuce leaf, is a distant relative of yours. DNA bonds us all. 🧬

can you believe we all just accept widespread emotional manipulation and abuse in the form of advertising

Punch cards and India ink.

French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet was the first to accurately visualize a black hole. In 1978, he used punch cards to write a computer program calculating the appearance and then reproduced the image by hand using India ink on Canson negative paper http://bit.ly/2UL1ylU

Interesting idea for discreetly helping propagate plants and flowers in neglected urban areas...

one of the most revolutionary ideas about education is that classes (esp higher level classes) are basically just book clubs. follow the right reading lists and you'll be basically as well informed was so-called intellectuals, just without the formal paperwork saying you are

the reality we face in the coming decades is bleak. extremely bleak. we've developed a cushy lifestyle built on the tragedy of the commons, built on knocking down every truffula tree

and we know how to live sustanably. it comes from the bottom up, not the top down. it comes from community empowerment and democratic control and only making what you need to live, not for commodity production. it's not sunshine and rainbows, but it also doesn't lead to our eventual death
