I think you’ve made a number of extrapolations from the other commenter’s post, that I don’t see them having said.

I understood their take to mean: abolition doesn’t work (as we’ve seen repeatedly in history). You can’t make something disappear just because you don’t want it to exist. That doesn’t mean “do nothing”, it means take a realistic approach that will actually make a difference.

I want to be clear - I’m with you. There’s a lot of things that I wish never existed but in lieu of that - I am learning how to navigate a world with powerful technologies in the hands of bad and powerful people - and being an agent for change without killing myself in the process. The commenter was being empathetic, suggesting you may want to take an approach that won’t exhaust yourself. This person is an ally - and you are going to fail if you can’t recognize that.

  1. No. Please.
  2. Why does USAToday need to cite the FBI to define “LARP”? : Emily Lazar posted on X how she needed "answers" and questioned whether Hello Kitty has been "Larping this whole time?" Larping is when "participants portray characters in an imaginary environment and interact with one another in real-time," according to the FBI.

Thank you for making this! I’m a couple months in on this process for myself and it’s a slog but I’m already noticing how Much more pleasant my online life is.

For distribution: I recommend getting folks to hand out the postcard flyers at upcoming protests like the 50501 protest on April 19. I will make an effort to print and distribute some here in Oakland at the protest and will also take them with me when I walk the dog to leave at cafes and stuff.

Maybe worth adding a cover page to your book that request the reader to pass the book along (maybe you already did this, I’ve only skimmed it so far).

Yeah I’ve heard this quote so much and then when I read this article I suddenly realized the quote is dumb haha. I wonder if these folks were indoctrinated republican from a young age? My guess is probably not all of them.

“the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”

Yep. These Log Cabiners must be real galaxy brains…

Nice! Don’t know they were working on a 3rd. I played the first two on my phone. Will be nice to play on a big screen. Great games.
