Sorry I've been quiet lately, I'm using a new scheduler called Mixpost and the free version only has Facebook and Mastodon so you can follow me on those for now until I'm able to upgrade.

The world we are building is already inside us. All my memes are open source, you are welcome to take them and set them free.
I love this image of collected theology as a mixtape. I strongly concur with the sort of custom-assembled, personal collection method, it's why I emphasize mystic connection to spirit and I believe it's what Jesus intended when he sent the Holy Spirit as our teacher.
Aaron@theclutteredmouth.com · last wk.@mysticmikester.com Here's something I'e been thinking for a while now. I think you'll resonate with it. theclutteredmouth.com/bouquets-mix...
This kind of nonsense is why transitioning beyond wage labor matters so much.
Hot Take: An easy way to stop having language models (and other humans) reflect lies back to you is to stop repeating lies on the internet. Always fact check everything. 💡 #garbageingarbageout #lifehacks
The most powerful move isn't waiting for the conditions to be right - it's shaping them. What's one step toward a more equal, less violent world that's available to you right now?
Online bullying isn’t power - it’s pressure release. Real power is a progressive congress that can write pro-labor automation policy. UBI, shorter work weeks, worker ownership of AI gains - all of it is on the table. But only if we stop performing outrage and start building.
This weirdest part of this is clothing was a human response to shame. God was stunned that they covered their bodies, it was a huge red flag. They were naked in the garden until the fall.
Maybe you’re right. Maybe clanker isn't a slur. Maybe it's a snarl word with a documented track record of laundering racism. And the left adopted it uncritically and let it calcify into an in-group litmus test, turning it into a tool of exclusion. I feel like that’s actually worse.
Capitalists cannot be trusted with the means of automation. Let's take it from them.
Come and see the racism, homophobia, ageism, and ableism inherent in the discourse.
It's true that low-effort prompting produces generic "slop", the same way anyone with a camera can take a boring photo. The difference between a snapshot and a photograph is craft and intention, and that's true of prompting too. The operator's imagination is what distinguishes the two outcomes.
Hot Take: Letting the empire spin out of control and then acting like we had no power to stop it is not radical. It is negligence. If you believe in democracy, show up for it when it matters. We owe Iran an amends, and if Trump doesn't pay out of pocket, the rest of us should.
We don't need permission from empire to decide what the future looks like. Our power combined is unstoppable. #WeWriteTheFuture
Free and open connection is the difference between the internet we grew up with and the corporate hellscape of today. The good news is, all the same open protocols are still there - the techbros rely on them too. From RSS to IRC, the tools we need are there for us to build back better.
