Honestly, what they should be agitated and agitating over is the paucity of transcription and other accessibility tools made available by the corporate video platforms. If you're feeling the angst having to scrub through a video to find something, why don't you raise hell for Google asking why *still* nobody has decent control over or meaningful use of captions? Why you can't search them?

When somebody gets to criticizing "everything being a video tutorial these days", I get it, but there's a major factor they're missing. The people who would write something down are rarely the same people who make videos -- those who are would do well to include notes/transcripts. But regardless of whether it's your preference or not, discouraging the proliferation of video education is hostile to disabled people who struggle to read text. Chill.

I mean, why would the US object to Israel's scapegoat revenge massacre of over 7,000 innocent civilians after we massacred nearly a million Iraqis ourselves?

@saddestrobots Dozens of calls per day here between my two phones. They spoof all familiar local numbers so if you reply txt or call back you reach a confused local. Sometimes the autodialers will screw up and actually just directly connect one confused local to another, forced to negotiate the fact that neither had just called the other. It's been whitelist time for a while now and I'm barely holding out.

Cool how the public switched telephone network is fucking pwned and nobody is going to fix it.

I go to so much trouble to keep myself out of trouble and it's just no use.

kind of surprised to say that if there's one reason I don't associate with The Fandom any more it's because it is intensely, belligerently, ubiquitously acephobic

I've been blessed with so much support over the years, and yet whenever things in my life get extra fucked up, I disappear. I don't want to ask for help, hell I don't even want to bother anybody with whatever the story is this time. But the worse things get, and the longer, the more I've ultimately turned my back on everyone.

If this latest hell wasn't guaranteed to be over next week, some way or another, idk what I'd do with myself. after rattling around the can being kicked for literal years.

All you really need to innately understand this is to experience a close relationship with someone where you can't figure out how to stop hurting each other because you both/all have problems that interlock -- which can be as simple as having trust issues after being senselessly betrayed too many times. Much of these phenomena beget themselves in the world.

In other words, analysis of abusive behavior should open our minds to the dialectical inputs and outputs rather than to begin stacking ammunition to make relativistic judgments and erase the disfavored actor and their motives. That's not what stops cycles and ubiquitous social power dynamics.

There is absolutely no intention required to abuse somebody. In fact, abuse is rarely intentional. Sometimes it is tolerated, excused, or even thoroughly facilitated by the victim. We all owe each other greater consideration of the material realities of our engagements, and concomitantly a more nuanced and versatile concept of "abuse" that discards today's typical upfront assumptions about a given relationship, and frequently declines absolute individual judgment on disparate elements of a cycle

Trial run completed ... ~80 more to go.

Protip: Don't collect computers

(Real heads know the latter describes the setting of a failed cancellation campaign against me when I thought it was disgusting and pointless to seriously or even flippantly entertain the imbecilic concept of "race war", especially propagandizing in public… the most popular Twitter "antifascists" actually really suck with shocking uniformity)

So many people boosting Gwen "the Chapo to Fash Pipeline grifter" Snyder on this platform… people sure do forget things quickly. Next thing you know we'll see Twitter's "sextoyspolitics" rise up on a wave of HOA-style cancellations and finally bring about "angryblkhoemo"'s hotly anticipated "race war".

I wish people would get past grieving the effectiveness of the state to fetter capital and start building our own stuff instead. That function is not coming back; it's up to us now.

Hell week begins. When it's over, I can finally get back to work on what matters
