@woodbark did you?

@woodbark Wait, don't you mean a posture that should cure doomerism?

@woodbark I understand what you are saying, but my bodymind still has a visceral bristle at the thought. Not because of "correctness", just because for me divorcing thoughts from context like that feels almost impossible/goes so thoroughly against the grain of how I think. Feels disorienting to me.

Again, I am not saying it is bad! I just can't even 😅

@woodbark Thank you, this whole thing is very relevant to my interests :)

Yeah to me that is an entirely alien way of doing it, I guess the historian is too deeply entrenched. But then, aren't you an archivist originally?

Or maybe an archivist-renegade by now;)

@woodbark This is a very nice quote, but not for the first time I am wondering why you are posting quotes without sources?

With source I would boost, but without I don't want to, feel reluctant to engage much more. And yet you usually post without source, so I am assuming an intention behind it that I am not getting.

@woodbark Als person die gerne in einer dunklen Ecke döst bis die/das/der DJ anfängt, wegen der ich eigentlich im Club bin, holt mich das Intro schon ganz schön ab.

"bring das leben zurück auf die strasse
denn nur dort kann es existieren"

YESSSSSSSS

Was für eine Hymne!

@woodbark Yes! re:Reclaim the Streets. Also, only one way to find out...

"Get the cars out of the way,
we want to play!"

10/10 no notes, I feel this, possible T-Shirt slogan for all ages, aged well, very Situationist International for this century 🔥

[slogan taken from this short documentary about kids (and adults) campaigning for a play street in Amsterdam in the 1970ies: https://youtu.be/YY6PQAI4TZE ]

@woodbark this is very cryptic and I would like to know more to understand what you are talking about

@woodbark wait waht?

@mnl (also, me at say, 12-16: competitive ✅ brash ✅ violent ✅ )

Is this a question of masculinity or of teenagers in general learning what to do with their aggressive impulses?

@mnl dude, you were lucky to have those! Try finding aggressive _female_ role models as a teenager in the 90ies lol. I very vividly remember the revelation it was for me to watch Jasmin Tabatabei beat up cops & break out of jail in 'Bandits' - but that was pretty much _all i had_. Later i found music and such but a lot of the things i was into say, from 18-24 was really me catching up on things i wished i could have had earlier.

@mnl Yes, I suspect today would be easier. But I haven't been keeping up with images of feminine brutality in the last 10+ years or so, so I am not even entirely sure 🙃

@adamgreenfield @woodbark I love your pinned post, and was aware of rehashing things, I just, ahhhhhhhhh, the frustration lol.

@adamgreenfield @woodbark The Ecology of Freedom could have been a much better, less imposing and thus more widely actually read book if he had managed to cut out the bitching about other people. Alas.

@woodbark @radeen uhhhh, these all sounds super tasty and I hadn't heard of any of them yet 😅. How convincing do you find the "idea of a new ecological class" in the Latour? My toenails tend to curl a bit whenever people try to do new fancy things with the term "class", but does this one make sense to you?

@dymaxion While I appreciate all the people putting the clickbaity headline into context, what I I have looked at from the links posted regarding the infrastructure impacts _if_ the AMOC collapses really just looks like very rough spitballing to me.

Sure, it might not happen at all. It might happen rather 60 years from now than 2. We will find out as we live it.

But, umh, like, shouldn't there be actual plans and preparations in place in case it _does_ happen?

I am starting to wish I knew how to dance for rain
I am wondering if any of my ancestors had rain dances
if they needed them enough to have them

I got wood. Feels good.

Also, got my exercise for the rest of the week or so cut out for me lol. 💪

(I don't have to move these alone, but will probably do quite a bit of it.)

(I'd prefer to heat the house differently, but for now this is pretty much our only option. And after the fluctuations in wood prices in the last 2 years as well as a winter that lasted a bit longer than expected, it is _really_ comforting to just have these piles for now.)

ufff, I just realized that apparently when I unmute notifications from an account I had previously muted here I cannot recover the pre-muting convos with that account. so muting is not just a potentially temporary not-seeing, but rather a never seeing again. Ouch. Would have saved some stuff first if I had known.
