     @pluralistic You seek to abholish time as part of an anarchist project to free all living things from the tyranny of the clock. I seek to abholish time in order to reach immortality. We are not the same. /s

     Here in Seattle, theStranger.com/slog sticker patrol blogs about the latest seen on poles, etc. This was one of my favorites.

     Y’all, that’s nothing. Have you been to Seattle? They make poles out of a composite of flyer and staple there.

     @tdriley @pluralistic Someday the timing will be exactly right for me to stand at the corner of some urban intersection with a pair of pliers and very carefully remove EVERY STAPLE from a telephone pole. It won't just be OCD. It'll be useful work! 😅

     You might enjoy reading a bit of #ScienceFiction from a master of the genre, #HarlanEllison, called " 'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman."

     In this #ShortStory, time is the tyrant over everyone-- until one person rebels in protest.

     @pluralistic @indianaj989 I remember reading a book about Industrial History written ca. 1890. The writer opined about the difficulty of getting workers to the factory on time “for those were the days of the spontaneous street dance”.

     My life hasn’t been the same since I read that.

     And in colonized territories, it started with the missionary's bell.

     Clocks and bells were a critical part of bending people's lives to clock time (as opposed to natural time)

     It all starts with what I call "the tyranny of the school bell" - and then it never lets up till you retire or die (whichever comes first).
