i've been developing a relationship with the crows in the neighborhood for a while now and now most weeks one or two of them have started following me around for part of my daily walks with my dog and today a couple of them landed near me and my partner while smoking a joint outside and i tossed em a little food. they're so cute and i'm so glad they're here

this is such a cool project

i found mushrooms in our little yard 🍄

cutie mosses from recent adventures! #mosstodon

@anarchopunk_girl this is fucking awful to hear

you love to see it

Narada Falls from the last day of my trip to the mountains!

a new day of hiking!

i was mushroom hunting today! heres some of what we found!

and more shroomies!

im back around rainier for the next couple days. im excited to walk through the forests and i think im going to try to forage a little while here.

i started the book Dark Ecology by Timothy Morton. i'm not sure what i think about it yet. it's been wrong in frustratingly obvious, glaring ways a couple times, but i think it says something important to a particular kind of "rationalist" maybe... i gotta get further in it and mull it over still.

i rewatched Pig tonight. it was maybe my 4th or 5th watch and it still makes me cry. it's slow, and it likes to sit in its own emotions, but i think what it has to say about Names, Families, and Connections is unlike most stories, and worth hearing out.

i can't believe i'm awake right now. i woke up to our dog whining at me and standing over me. naturally i assumed she wanted me to let her outside or something so i got out of bed.

she didn't leave the room with me, instead she just stole my warm spot.

shoplifting discourse has been making the rounds, does anyone have any good readings/studies/etc on shoplifting?

Deleuze and Guattari, in trying to show the existence of the "different kind of science" than the form of interiority, state science, that we're used to, explains the characteristics of this Other science as such:

"1. First of all, it uses a hydraulic model, rather than being a theory of solids treating fluids as a special case; ancient atomism is inseparable from flows, and flux is reality itself, or consistency.

2. The model in question is one of becoming and heterogeneity, as opposed to the stable, the eternal, the identical, the constant. It is a "paradox" to make becoming itself a model, and no longer a secondary characteristic, a copy; in the Timaeus, Plato raises this possibility, but only in order to exclude it and conjure it away in the name of royal science...

3. One no longer goes from the straight line to its parallels, in a lamellar or laminar flow, but from a curvilinear declination to the formation of spirals and vortices on an inclined plane: the greatest slope for the smallest angle. From turba to turbo: in other words, from bands or packs of atoms to the great vortical organizations. The model is a vortical one; it operates in an open space throughout which things-flows are distributed, rather than plotting out a closed space for linear and solid things. It is the difference between a smooth (vectorial, projective, or topological) space and a striated (metric) space: in the first case "space is occupied without being counted,"and in the second case "space is counted in order to be occupied."

4. Finally, the model is problematic, rather than theorematic: figures are considered only from the viewpoint of the affections that befall them: sections, ablations, adjunctions, projections. One does not go by specific differences from a genus to its species, or by deduction from a stable essence to the properties deriving from it, but rather from a problem to the accidents that condition and resolve it. This involves all kinds of deformations, transmutations, passages to the limit, operations in which each figure designates an "event" much more than an essence... Whereas the theorem belongs to the rational order, the problem is affective and is inseparable from the metamorphoses, generations, and creations within science itself. Despite what Gabriel Marcel may say, the problem is not an "obstacle"; it is the surpassing of the obstacle, a projection, in other words, a war machine."

okay i caved and got bomb rush cyber funk

what is the social function that makes any one "belong" somewhere? is this social function universal or particular, from what point of view does it operate? what are the social mechanisms which keep this social function operating? what material necessities keep it operational?

i drove so goddamn much im a real trucker now
