holy shit we made it home a whole day ahead of schedule

the land of Montana, the steppe kissing the mountains, is so beautiful. i hope to be able to see so much more of it than we were able to on this trip, but i feel so lucky to be able to see it at all

Sioux Falls in South Dakota were really really cool

"The fascist state is not satisfied with reducing the workers to slavery and making a general massacre of wages possible. It restores capitalist profits in another way: through various economic expedients.

"Expedients" is the word. It is not a question of taking
measures to set in motion once more, however feebly, the "normal" machinery of capitalism. It is not a question of reestablishing profits from the production and distribution of new wealth. It is, quite simply, a matter of restoring their revenues to capitalist enterprises by artificial means and at the expense of the masses.

These expedients, of course, are by no means specifi-
cally fascist or National Socialist. They are twin brothers to those used in other countries, differing only in degree and not in kind.

What we are about to describe is not peculiar to fascism, and there is not, contrary to what the plebeian demagogues say, any kind of "fascist" or "National Socialist" economy. The fascist economy is only a sharpened form of the so-called "guided" capitalist economy, first tried in Germany during the First World War under the name Kriegswirtschaft (War Economy).

Nor are these expedients in any way "anti-capitalist." Only the naive could ever have believed that fascism is an actual economic revolution, outmoding capitalism. But the massive scope of these measures drags the fascist state in deeper than foreseen at first. It must more and more reject solutions reputed to be "liberal" or "orthodox."

drove for 7 hours today and fuck the highways of the states of illinois and indiana specifically

went to niagara falls today with my pack. id seen the falls themselves once before as a child but i had never walked the length of the park before. watching the water develop as it gets closer and closer to the falls is really incredible. somewhat terrfying...

i hurt my back so bad yesterday idek what i did 😭

okay cocaine bear got a couple of full belly laughs out of me

a couple days ago i used the phrase "K-Mart Rouge" in a conversation and i still havent been able to wash the shame off of me

in a long car ride today, so im re-reading D&Gs nomadology. i forgot how referential so much of it is, so im using it to develop a new reading list after hitting a bit of a wall with the Agamben/Foucault train of thought i was following.

i went swimming today for the first time in like a decade and it was so much fun

visiting maine has been so nice. today we went on a bog walk and it was unlike any bog ive ever been in. red moss and pitcher plants at the heart of the bog with shroomy woods surrounding it. it was frustrating to see the road disrupting its full potential though.

YOOOOO WE'RE BACK

the vibes on all other social media have rapidly deteriorated i just wanna chill and post about books

its funny how much speed a settled society needs

@eris i might word it slightly differently. but i think a lot of poly people know that not all friends (including fwb) are people you want to live with or whatever. some people that are fun, aren't reliable.

@eris

hey, uh, what did freud mean by this?

@eris WAIT ITS OVER THE WORD "BASED"????????

@eris literally i cannot even imagine what there is to be mean to you about. i see all the "drama" surrounding other admins and you and i've literally never been able to understand their problems with you.
